Are You Looking For an Alternative to Waxing?

There are several ways to get rid of unwanted hair. From shaving, to hair removal creams and waxing, problematic hair can be embarrassing and bothersome. Even though unwanted hair is usually harmless, those who deal with it on a daily basis often experience low self-esteem and anxiety. Are you a regular patron of a waxing professional? If the answer is yes – you may want to consider an alternative to waxing. If you suffer from unsightly and unwanted hair, you probably have tried all of these methods, and it may be time for you to think about laser hair removal. With lasers, undesirable hair can be destroyed once and for all.

Do you wax often, only to have it just grow back?

It seems like a vicious cycle, and you may feel like you are fighting a losing battle. Not only that, but if you have had waxing done before, you know how painful it can be.

How it works

Hair removal by laser is accomplished by using a specialized laser. The laser beam is directed precisely to the hair follicles that lie just beneath the surface of the skin. Flashes from a laser beam are absorbed by the follicles once they are exposed. When the heat from the laser is absorbed, it is damaged and the regrowth of the follicle is destroyed. The tissue which surrounds the hair follicle remains undamaged, and only the area with problematic hair growth is targeted. To make sure the follicle remains inactive, several laser treatments are needed. This will ensure that the hair follicles are completely destroyed. The result is – permanent hair removal!

Is it safe?

Your medical spa will use only the most advanced (and FDA approved) lasers. Side effects are uncommon, but you may have a little reddening or swelling where you were treated. You may experience a little bruising, but it will quickly disappear. Following your treatments, which are usually spaced out about eight weeks apart, you will have the look of smooth and hair-free skin.

Permanent hair removal can change the way you see yourself and once your treatments are finished, you won’t have to worry about continually treating your unwanted hair. Your medical spa will be able to give you all of the information you need to help you decide if laser hair removal is the right alternative to waxing for you.
