Learning to shave was a rite of passage for many young women, however, over the years, shaving is something that has turned into somewhat of a burden. A popular hair removal option that we have turned to is waxing, but even waxing has certain draw backs. However, there is a better option other than shaving or waxing. That option is laser hair removal in San Diego.

 

Laser hair removal in San Diego focuses an intense beam of light to an area with undesired hair growth. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle which is then destroyed. This may take on average six sessions of laser hair removal treatments due to the four stages of hair growth.

 

• Anagen – Growing Phases
• Catagen – Transition Phase
• Telegen – Resting Phase
• Exogen – Shedding Phase

 

In order to completely remove all hair follicles in the desired area, several treatments spaced about a month to six weeks apart are suggested. Although hormonal changes can cause new follicles to grow over time, a maintenance laser treatment is useful if hair does begins to grow back. With each treatment, there is a noticeable decline in how course and how dark the hair is that grows back. Let’s take a look at the top four reason why laser hair removal is better than waxing.

 

1. Journey to Bare Skin

While it’s true that laser hair removal can take a few treatments to remove unwanted hair from certain parts of your body, the long-term results will astound you. Can you imagine not having to worry about hair removal next summer or even the summers to come?

2. Ingrown Hairs

One of the down sides to waxing is ingrown hairs. They are painful and can easily become infected. Removing an ingrown hair is a task in and of itself, depending on when it is noticed. Laser hair removal treatment does not produce ingrown hairs which can help to remove this uncomfortable aspect of overall grooming maintenance.

 

 

3. Long term results

Another downfall to waxing is that you will need to wax repeatedly. Waxing requires hair to be at least a quarter of an inch long. You will notice hair regrowth about a week or two after a wax. You will need to let it grow for another week or two after that before you can wax again. With laser hair removal treatments, you will go for a series of treatments over the course of some months. If the hair does return it will be much lighter and finer then before laser hair removal which makes it easier to remove with future treatments.

4. Cost effective

While it’s true that laser hair removal is more expensive then waxing if you are looking at the short term, if you consider the price of waxing once a month for several years, then the price of laser treatment is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of all those wax appointments. Also, consider the value of your time. Waxing can take up to an hour depending on the area you chose to remove hair from. Laser hair removal treatments usually last about 25 minutes to 40 minutes. The number of sessions and time spend truly makes the difference.
