To date, laser hair removal is considered the more viable method of removing hair for the very last long run. This method is practically painless, especially compared to waxing, shugaring and especially electrolysis. It allows you to cut down the amount of hair follicles by up to 90%. This effect is achieved through the use of highly focused intensive pulse light, absorbed by the dark pigment inside the hair follicle, which leads to its destruction. As a rule, hair starts to actively fall out 1-3 weeks after the first procedure. To achieve optimal and long-lasting performance, it is usually recommended to undergo from 6 to 8 treatments of laser hair removal with an interval of 1-2 months.
Who is suitable for laser hair removal
Sensitive skin
Laser hair removal is perfect for anyone with a sensitive skin that is susceptible to overgrown hairs. The laser treatment is gentle on sensitive areas without traumatizing them. It also works to prevent the formation of in-grown hairs.
Dark, stiff hair
Laser hair removal is best for people with dark, stiff hair. However, the darker the hair, the nicer the result. However, if you have very blonde, thin hair, this method might not work for you.
Low pain threshold
If you are uncomfortable with monthly shugaring and waxing procedures, laser hair removal is a great choice for a dramatic solution to the problem. The removal process of undesirable hair in the area of the bikini will take no more than 30 minutes, and this time will be much more comfortable compared to wax depilation.
It is also worth noting that if you wish to do laser hair removal on the day before a vacay or other major event – it is best to think about it beforehand. Hair does not fall out immediately and permanently. The first hairs “go away” in 1-3 weeks after the first visit. And to reduce their number to a minimum and slow the growth of the remaining ones, you need to conduct a set of several procedures.
Most laser hair removal centers write that the laser procedure removes hair fully and for all time. Let’s be honest: none of the modern methods of hair removal will not deprive you of all unwanted vegetation for life. But laser hair removal removes most of the hair, making the rest of the hair fine, weaker, more brittle.
