With laser treatment high energy light bursts are used, these light bursts destroy the hair follicles that are located beneath your skin, because the hair is actually killed at the root and not just pulled out or chopped off, as is the case with traditional methods many patients experience very long-lasting and in some cases even permanent results.
Lets look at some traditional hair removal procedures and there drawbacks:
Waxing – Popular on larger parts of the body like the legs, chest and back. Warm wax is applied to the area requiring treatment, it is then covered with a strip of fabric and ripped off taking the unwanted hair with it. Waxing is quite painful, it often leaves a rash for a few days after and it can be costly, most U.K salons charge at least £40 for a full leg wax, the effects of waxing usually last around 3 weeks.
Cream – Depilatory creams work to dissolve hairs. The hair often regrows quickly (within 2-4 weeks) and it can give a stubbly appearance, sometimes depilatory cream irritate sensitive skin can cause a rash.
Shaving – Everyone knows about shaving, creams is usually applied and the the hairs are chopped of with a sharp blade. Shaving results are often very short lived, around 1 week at the very most.
Laser – as we said above laser treatment gives very long lasting, sometimes permanent results. Laser does give instant results though, it takes about 10 days for the treated hairs to fall out. Within 4-6 sessions many patients see little hair growth on the area that has been treated. Laser hair removal is not suitable for everyone, some skin types and hair colours could suffer burning and even scars, it is important to choose a reputable and experienced clinic with good equipment and staff that know how to use it.
