The Benefits of Laser Treatments For Skin Rejuvenation And Hair Removal
Most people want to get rid of their unwanted hair due to feeling uncomfortable going out in public and not having smooth skin. Throughout the years, many approaches, such as waxing and shaving, came to remove hair from your body to make it glowy, soft and comfortable to feel, but they failed to give any permanent solution. Not only that, these methods demand to be performed frequently, and they also provide a painful experience. However, the world isn’t at the end, and the good news is laser hair removal treatment can give you pain-free, long-lasting results.
To give you more information on laser hair removal treatment, this blog will cover the benefits of laser hair removal based on detailed insights from the best skin specialist in India, Dr. Rohit Batra, at DermaWorld Skin & Hair Clinics. So, let’s start by shedding light more on laser hair removal benefits.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal You Need To Know About!
Gives Less Pain
Though shaving doesn't always hurt except when you cut yourself, waxing always comes with pain. If you are tired of dealing with the constant pain, you will be pleased to know that laser hair removal is an entirely painless procedure.
However, you may feel some discomfort in the initial session, but after many sessions, you won't feel a thing. Moreover, the cooling gel will also be applied so you can feel soothing.
Precise & Quick
Laser hair removal is a quick and precise procedure. With every application of laser, it will remove only your hair, leaving your skin alone so you do not have to worry about your skin getting damaged. On the other hand, this treatment is quick to perform. You can even take a lunch break and return to work on time without worrying. This procedure even takes less time than shaving and waxing procedures.
Fewer Side Effects
Waxing and shaving come with a side-effect: You will always leave the salon with red and irritated skin. But with laser hair removal, there are minor chances of side effects like burning or a little bit of redness, which you can make go quicker by applying aloe vera gel.
No More In-Grown Hair
Laser technology removes hairs right from the hair follicles (where hair grows.) When you shave, you cut off hairs at the surface of your skin, which can result in ingrown hairs. Even with waxing, you have this risk.
While laser hair removal guarantees that every hair is removed at the follicle, giving almost 0% chance for ingrown hair, not ingrown hairs also contribute to no itchy or irritated skin after hair removal.
Makes Your Hair Thinner
The unwanted hair is primarily thick and abundant. However, laser hair removals make hair thinner and lighter each time you go for a session. Thus, your hair will grow thinner and lighter. Also, with enough treatment sessions, you may experience permanent hair loss in some areas. It indicates that you won't need lasers in that area that are already hair-free permanently, which means it will save you both time and money.
Safer Than Other Methods
You may find laser hair removal scary, but it is not! This procedure is super safe, in fact, safer than any other hair removal method. This procedure minimizes the risk of cuts, ingrown hairs, and infections commonly associated with razors and waxing. Moreover, the controlled heat of lasers reduces irritation, infection and inflammation chance, making it gentler on the skin than harsh chemicals in shaving cream. Furthermore, long-term benefits include decreased hair regrowth, eliminating the need for constant maintenance.
Cost-Effective
Though you may have to pay a little more initially for laser hair removal, in the long term, if you think about it, you save money. When you wax and shave, you must buy razors and shaving cream and wax frequently or visit a salon. Also, when these hair removal methods affect your skin, you must purchase skincare products to deal with the skin complications. Now, when compared to laser hair removal, do not demand any frequent purchase of any skincare product except for SPF 30+ to protect your skin while going out in the sun.
