One of the most attractive things about laser hair removal is that you no longer need to spend time and money on removing your unwanted body hair. Laser hair removal can basically get rid of hair for good, which is more than can be said for most other hair removal techniques.

Let’s face it, no one really enjoys shaving or waxing. It can be time consuming, expensive and even painful. So, let’s take a look at some of the problems that laser hair removal can fix.

Problem 1. Painful ingrown hairs

Millions of women still rely on shaving to remove their unwanted hair on their legs, bikini line and armpits. However, shaving often results in sore ingrown hairs, which can be both painful and unsightly. Ingrown hairs are hairs that curl back on themselves and begin to poke into the skin, leaving swollen areas, spots or inflamed follicles.

One of the main causes of ingrown hairs is shaving, as the action of cutting the hair off near the surface of the skins leaves a very sharp edge, which can easily poke back in to the skin, resulting in irritation and unsightly red spots and sores.

 

Solution

Laser hair removal is a gentle alternative to shaving, and can completely remove the need to ever shave your skin again. According to the NHS, avoiding shaving is one of the best treatments for ingrown hairs and laser hair removal can rid you of unwanted body hair forever, saving your skin from the perils of the wet shave.

 

Problem 2. Cuts and rashes

Cutting yourself when shaving can happen to anyone. It’s simply a fact of life for most men and women who regularly shave their face or body. Shaving rashes are also a source of discomfort for many people who still use razors on a regular basis.

 

Solution

Shaving cuts and rashes can, to some extent, be avoided through very careful shaving, using the right type of shaving lubricant and a very sharp razor. However, most of us know that the reality of shaving is that we usually do it in a hurry. Men and women who try laser hair removal realise that they no longer need to shave their unwanted body hair and can instead enjoy blemish-free, smooth hairless skin without those nasty nicks and rashes.

 

Problem 3. Painful waxing

Waxing is painful. There’s no denying it. If you find a truly skilled waxing professional, you might be able to get away with just a little sting, but there will usually always be some discomfort involved. People who are particularly sensitive to pain may find that waxing is simply not an option for them.

 

Solution

Laser hair removal can enable you to say goodbye to waxing for good. In a similar way to waxing, laser hair removal leaves you with smooth, blemish free skin – but the effects can very extremely long durations of time once an entire course of treatment has been completed. That means no more painful trips to the waxing salon.

 

Problem 4. Expensive regular waxing treatments

Some waxing treatments can be every expensive. If you want to keep your skin hair-free all the time, you will need to make regular appointments and pay each time you need to have your unwanted hair removed. This can add up to hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds over the course of each year.

 

Solution

Although laser hair removal can cost more than waxing, once it’s done, it’s done. That means no more repeat appointments and no more remembering to call the salon before swimming or holidays. It also means no more shelling out over and over again just to keep your body fuzz-free. With laser hair removal, once the treatment is complete, you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin permanently.
