Find Out Why Laser Hair Removal Is Better Than Waxing
Cons of Laser hair removal
Studies over the years have shown that laser hair removal treatments may have side effects such as swelling, redness or itchiness around the area. These however generally do not last for more than 4-5 days. What is more important to know is, that in certain and rare cases, treatment may result in hyper-pigmentation or discoloration of the skin. But again, such extreme cases are rare and most such disasters can be kept at bay by proper techniques and an experienced practitioner.
Cost of waxing vs. cost of laser hair removal
How much to you pay every month for your trips to the salon for your waxing treatments? I’d say anywhere between $40 and $70. Mind you, this is a recurring cost and you will need to bear it for your life. So if you think of it, your waxing treatments will set you back at least $600 year after year after year. On the other hand, laser hair removal is on a permanent basis. It is expensive and can set you back hundreds of dollars but then again, this is not a recurring expense that you will incur.
So what’s the verdict?
Looking at the numbers, the comfort and the ease, laser hair removal seems to triumph over its traditional counterpart. What wins me over, are the almost pain-free and permanent results that I can achieve by laser hair removal. Can you imagine how good it’ll be to never ever have to put that hot strip of wax on your skin again? Can you imagine how beautiful and supple your skin will look, forever free from those nasty unwanted hair? Just thinking about it brings a smile to your face, doesn’t it? Even in terms of cost, laser hair removal may dig a bigger hole in your purse for the moment, but remember that it is an expense almost never to be repeated! So it beats waxing if you consider the life-long cost of all those trips to the salon for waxing services.
Comfort, convenience, ease, pain, cost and most importantly, beauty and looks – Laser hair removal wins over waxing in my books. If you are still a skeptic, I suggest that you pay a visit to the local laser hair removal experts and get some more insight into the process. I also recommend that you consult your professional dermatologist or medical practitioner before going for the treatment, especially if you are dark skinned. Cheers to clean, smooth and beautiful skin forever!
