Here are the top reasons for getting Laser Hair Removal:

1. Freedom from temporary hair removal solutions:  While undergoing sessions of Laser Hair Removal, you may shave if there is any hair in between sessions so you don’t have to let the hair grow as you would with waxing.  Normally there is minimal hair in between laser hair removal sessions.
2. Cost Effective:  Laser hair removal is much more affordable than it used to be.  Now more men and women are finding laser hair removal is affordable and more economic in the long term as well in comparison to waxing or depilatory creams.
3. Confidence:  Most individuals who undergo laser hair removal feel much more comfortable with themselves.  Women who are treating the face area, arms, bikini line or legs feel the confidence to wear whatever they please without having to plan days or weeks in advance.
4. Permanent Results:  Laser Hair Removal really is a permanent solution to unwanted hair.   Normally 5-7 treatments are required to achieve these permanent results.  The average loss after consecutive treatments is 85-95% reduction of hair.  What may remain after a series of treatments are minimal fine sparse hairs.
5. Eliminate Ingrown Hairs:  Laser hair removal also prevents and eliminates ingrown hairs!  Once the hair has been destroyed, so is the ingrown.  If you do have ingrown hairs, the laser will still by pass the skin and destroy the root of the hair.

Laser Hair Removal and electrolysis are both permanent methods of treating unwanted hair. Electrolysis is an older method of getting rid of unwanted hair in comparison to laser hair removal.

Electrolysis may be described as a hair thin metal probe or stylus which is situated into a hair follicle. This stylus then delivers a current of electricity to damage the hair follicle. The challenge of electrolysis is the stylus must be accurately situated into the hair follicle without puncturing the surrounding skin. The drawbacks of electrolysis are many clients do experience textural damage of the skin from the stylus and the client must let the hair grow in between sessions as a guide to the hair follicle opening. Treatments are spaced 1-2 weeks apart and sessions are long and tedious for even the smallest of areas. Since many treatments are required (many more than with laser) overall the price of treating even a small area may be costly. Electrolysis also tends to be a little painful. Electrolysis is still the best treatment for white or blond hair since this method is colour blind to the hair.

Laser hair removal is a much more efficient and effective means of getting rid of the hair. Laser light attracts the pigmented hair follicle. This laser light energy is converted into heat, which damages the root of the hair. Treatments are spaced 6-8 weeks apart for the body and 4-6 weeks apart for the face. Normally 5-7 treatments are required in order to achieve a permanent outcome. Laser Hair Removal is not extremely painful. You will feel some discomfort depending on the treatment area. Normally there is little hair in between sessions. If necessary, shaving is an option in between sessions. In the long run, laser hair removal is very cost effective. Laser hair removal is not a good treatment option for white or blond hair.
