Laser hair removal is a great way to significantly reduce the amount of hair that grows on the body and reduce ingrown hairs. Additionally, it may reduce the coarseness of the hair itself. The laser is designed to destroy the hair follicle, resulting in a reduction of hair growth. Treatments are done every four to six weeks for a total of six sessions per lasered area.
I often am asked why would I do laser versus waxing?
Waxing temporarily removes the hair from the follicle. This usually leaves you with smooth, hair-free skin for about three weeks. Waxing needs to be repeated every two to five weeks depending on the area being waxed. Waxing does not destroy the follicle, as opposed to laser, which means you will continually need to wax on a regular basis.
Statistics show that the average woman spends in excess of $23,000 in her lifetime to remove unwanted hair by waxing. Laser hair removal ends up being a much more cost-effective treatment as you typically are having six to eight treatments to achieve your goal with a potential future touch-up as needed.
