Reasons to Get Laser Hair Removals

There are as many reasons to remove hair as there are people. People who are prematurely balding may want to get rid of hair faster for a smoother look they choose. Some people may want to permanently remove facial hair or hair from the bikini area. Women and male swimmers often wish to remove leg hair. Some people are concerned about the appearance of their back hair. And some people want to thin out their hair.

At Lexington Tattoo Removal, our laser hair removal procedure can help with any of these. Let's look at why this is a better alternative to most hair removal processes.

Laser Hair Removal Versus Shaving

When you shave, your hair grows back in a few days. This can also make your skin bumpy and irritated. While you may experience some irritation, like a sunburn, with laser hair removal, it will fade after a few days, and  the hair doesn't grow back once you finish the treatment cycle.

Laser Hair Removal Versus Waxing

While waxing tends to last longer than shaving, it also has significant discomfort or pain, which is mostly mitigated with laser hair removal. Waxing must be redone every four to six weeks, which is about the time between laser hair removal sessions. The difference is that you're done after approximately six laser hair removal treatments, and the hair won't return. With waving, the process is never-ending. Additionally, that takes time and money that can be better spent elsewhere.

Laser Hair Removal Versus Threading

Threading can be highly effective for getting a specific look, but you need regular upkeep to prevent your hair from growing back. Laser hair removal can permanently remove hairs. It does take a few sessions because the laser only works on actively growing hair, and only about 30% of your hair grows at any given time.

Laser Hair Removal Versus Plucking or Tweezing

Plucking and tweezing remove the hair and shaft but don't damage the hair follicle. This means that even as you remove the hair, you're not getting to the root of the problem. On the contrary, laser hair removal targets the follicle with a laser to permanently prevent it from growing back.
