8 Amazing Laser Hair Removal Benefits
Hair may be a natural part of our bodies, but sometimes it shows up in places where we don't want it. Hair growth on our legs, face, back, or underarms may cause discomfort or distress, so we invest a lot of time in removing it. But while shaving, plucking, and waxing get the job done, there's a healthier and more effective way to ditch your unwanted hair: laser hair removal. NYC residents and visitors seeking a spa day should seriously consider adding this service to their itinerary. Here are eight top laser hair removal benefits you should know about.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Before diving into the perks, let's quickly define what laser hair removal entails and what it looks like. Laser hair removal gets down to the root of the problem - literally. The laser light uses heat energy to impact the hair follicle at its root. When hair is in its growth phase, the laser light can effectively destroy the root and prevent it from growing again. Because the hair needs to be in the growth phase and hair growth is cyclical, multiple treatments are needed to permanently eliminate every hair. Most people complete laser hair removal treatments through 4-8 sessions, spaced about 6-8 weeks apart.
8 Laser Hair Removal Benefits
1. Long-Lasting Confidence
The desire to feel more beautiful, comfortable, and confident is a primary reason why people opt for laser hair removal. People take pride in their appearance, so unwanted hair can be very troubling. Unfortunately, other hair removal methods, like shaving, don't provide lasting results. Within a day or two, the undesired hair returns, and the process repeats. Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results. Throughout the course of your treatments, you'll notice that the hair begins to take longer and longer to reappear. Eventually, each localized hair follicle is eliminated, leaving you essentially hairless.
2. Flexibility
One common complaint about other hair removal services like waxing is that you're advised to allow hair to grow to a certain point before you can schedule another session. Unfortunately, this means you end up with hair between appointments. With laser hair removal, you're free to shave between sessions, providing more flexibility and increased comfort.
3. Reduced Pain
Many forms of hair removal are quite painful and uncomfortable. Although the amount of discomfort you experience during laser hair removal will vary based on your own pain threshold, most people find it relatively pain-free. Furthermore, you won't be left with painful side effects or lingering discomfort after the session. For example, waxing can cause burns, shaving can cause bumps and ingrown hairs, and threading can cause pain and bruising. Laser removal, on the other hand, does not produce scars, burns, cuts, or bruising.
4. No More Ingrown Hairs
Even when you're careful, shaving and even waxing can lead to ingrown hairs. Conversely, laser hair removal actually prevents ingrown hairs from happening. This is because the laser attacks the root of the hair follicle, thus preventing ingrown hairs from popping up.
5. Softer Skin
Other hair removal methods aren't able to guarantee soft skin results that last for more than a few days. Very soon after treatment, stubble begins to appear as hair grows back. Some methods even cause the skin to feel rough or bumpy and can lead to rashes. Laser hair removal completely rids the body of unwanted hair, leaving the skin silky, soft, and smooth.
6. Precision
Laser hair removal can target hair with extreme precision. This is why it's a great choice for anyone trying to get rid of a few pesky facial hairs, or to remove only small sections of hair around the bikini line, eyebrows, face, or hairline.
7. It Works All Over!
Some hair removal techniques are only suitable for specific parts of the body. In other cases, they may work in a particular target area but are very painful. Laser hair removal is efficient, effective, and relatively pain-free in any area of the body. It's especially great for sensitive areas, like the back and bikini line.
8. It's Fast
Want to get in and out in a hurry? Try laser hair removal. NYC residents are always busy and on-the-go, which makes this a perfect treatment option for saving time. Depending on the size of the target area, sessions can be as quick as ten minutes! On average, sessions range between ten to sixty minutes.
Is There Anything Else I Should Know?
As mentioned earlier, it's important to remember that hair will not be permanently eradicated in one session. Hair goes through different cycles and needs to be in the growth cycle for the follicle to be properly impacted. Additionally, we like to inform our clients that because it relies on laser light, laser treatment may be less effective if your hair color does not absorb light well. This may apply to blond, gray, red, and white hair. As such, you may require more sessions to receive the desired effect.
