lShaving is one of the most annoying, repetitive chores on our daily to-do list. It’s a time-consuming routine that gets really old, really fast.
And while there are a lot of options out there for removing hair (shaving, waxing, tweezing, etc.), most are uncomfortable and none of the above provide long-term results.
Luckily, laser hair removal is available at Clarity, and it’s easy, effective, and time-saving.
5 Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
1. Treatments are quick.
You might be surprised to learn that the laser hair removal process is actually super quick. While it’s true that you’ll need several sessions to achieve your desired results, each session is short. Plan for around 20 minutes for the underarms or bikini area and about an hour for your legs. Long term, the time investment is a LOT shorter than shaving or waxing regularly!
2. You’ll save money over time.
While laser hair removal does require an up-front investment, it’ll pay off for you long term. Just imagine never again having to pay for specialty shaving supplies or expensive waxing services! Instead, you’ll spend the money once and save your pennies in the long run.
3. Prevent and eliminate ingrown hairs.
The most common methods of hair removal — shaving and waxing — can cause pesky, painful ingrown hairs. Not only are they annoying, but they can even progress to the point where they create a cyst and have to be removed. Yuck! Laser hair removal helps prevent and eliminate this issue, particularly for those with sensitive skin.
4. You’ll save time.
We all know how time-consuming at-home hair removal can be. Whether you’re waxing, shaving, applying depilatory creams or tweezing, every method takes a considerable amount of time and effort. Plus all of those options need to be repeated often. Certain areas can be tough to reach so it’s likely that you won’t be as thorough as a professional. With laser hair removal, you schedule all of your treatment visits and when their done, you are done with all those other hair removal options.
5. No need to grow hair between treatments (like waxing).
Unlike the hassle of needing to grow your hair out in order to have it waxed (annoying!), with laser hair removal there’s no such necessity. You can shave in between sessions until you achieve your desired results.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The process is pretty simple: a laser light targets the hair within the follicle. The light is absorbed by the hair pigment; then it disables the follicle which prevents hair from growing back. Because of this, laser hair removal works best on people with darker pigmented hair.
As far as how many treatments you’ll need, clinical research has shown that 7 is the magic number for most. The time between treatments or the hair growth cycle, is different for each area of the body. Cycles can range from six to 12 weeks depending on the treatment area..
