We all know the feeling of waking up to a gorgeous warm summer’s day and jumping out of bed all excited about spending the day outside enjoying the sun.
However, this can quickly turn to frustration if you have to then deal with unwanted body hair which can impact your confidence, particularly in the summer months when having exposed skin is more comfortable and expected.
There are lots of different options when it comes to dealing with unwanted body hair and all of them have their pros and cons.
Traditionally shaving and waxing have dominated the market and while both remain popular options, laser hair removal has become a much more recognised and well-known way of dealing with unwanted body hair.
With summer finally here, we wanted to take a look at the benefits of laser hair removal and why it could be the answer for you this summer.
Longer-lasting results
When waxing or shaving there is always the understanding that the hair you are removing will simply grow back sooner rather than later. This means you will have to repeat the process over and over again to maintain the results.
With laser hair removal, the result from a course of treatments lasts much longer than waxing or shaving. This is because the laser causes damage to the hair follicle itself rather than just removing some of the hair. The damage caused then prevents hair regrowth leading to longer-lasting results.
Improved comfort
While the thought of laser hair removal may sound extremely painful, in reality, significant steps have been made to improve the comfort and overall experience of laser hair removal. This can include cooling mechanisms which work alongside the laser during treatments to make the process much more comfortable.
Furthermore, as laser hair removal systems have developed, the speed at which a treatment session can be completed has improved. This means you don’t have to worry about a treatment taking up a huge amount of time out of your day and busy life.
Highly versatile
Laser hair removal is often thought of as just a treatment for women, but there is now an ever-increasing number of men turning to the treatment to help them with unwanted hair.
Regardless of gender or skin colour, laser hair removal can also be used on various areas of the body depending on where you need it.
For many people, this will be their legs, but smaller and more delicate areas such as the underarms, hands and feet are also able to be treated.
Overall, laser hair removal is a fantastic opinion when it comes to dealing with unwanted body hair.
It is a treatment which is becoming ever more accessible and when carried out by experienced professionals the results can be fantastic! Hopefully this helped shed some light on this treatment and answered some questions you may have had.
