Even if there are plenty of options for hair removal, a lot of us will opt for laser procedure considering the features outweighs the cons and some may say that the treatment is a worthy investment. Indeed, the appeal of getting flawless, baby-smooth skin is certainly tempting but as with any procedures that require trained staff, it’s always a good idea to study first.
Laser hair removal is a procedure designed specifically to remove hair from the roots effectively, with the use of laser in specific wavelength at high energy to target only the hair follicles (specifically the pigment within the hair roots) while leaving the skin unharmed. Because the nature of the laser that’s emitted from the equipment is super fine, you can use the treatment to target hair anywhere on your skin that needs to be treated, not just limited to the bikini line.
The result, a super smooth skin.
So it’s no surprise that the benefits of getting the treatment make it appealing for a lot of us, with cost as the number one factor. When determining the total cost in the long run, laser hair removal is wonderfully affordable compared to the regular cost incurred for other hair removal treatments such as waxing and shaving - the only downside of laser treatment is you need to have a large sum of money upfront and enjoy the benefits for years to come. Hence, some will say that this treatment is an investment.
The procedure has high precision and is proven with a successful track record, making it reliable for a lot of us. You can be assured to get the intended results every single time and this makes a nice change compared to waxing and shaving where accidents and discomfort usually happen.
Thanks to the technology, you can get the work done in under an hour, or perhaps in a few minutes if it’s just a tiny patch of hair that you want to remove. The downtime is pretty much none and zero recovery time making the whole process easy and stress-free.
The side effects of this treatment are mild, tolerable, and can be minimized although it’s worth mentioning so you’ll know what to expect. You can expect some mild pain when the laser is emitted (especially at the thinner skin such as the nose). Some of the common side effects after the treatment include mild skin redness and irritation at the treated area, swelling, or temporary changes in the skin tone although the affected area will return to its original color. It’s safe to say that these side effects are minimal and will go away after a few days on their own.
With such remarkable features from laser hair removal, you probably wonder what’s the cost is going to be. Yes, the procedure is on the pricey side and this can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, total area to be treated, or even the reputation of the laser center you’ll be having the procedure. And it’s important to note that in most cases, you might need multiple sessions with your dermatologist to get the job done and there’s a wait time for a few weeks between sessions to ensure effective results; all of this will add more cost and time.
But of course, as mentioned before when you consider the benefits, in the long run, the procedure will be worthwhile and affordable. After all, not having to shave at any nook and cranny area that usually gives you cuts, blisters, and ingrown hair anymore and be liberated from the routine is surely peace of mind and something that you should consider.
