A commonly asked question today is laser hair removal really worth it? Picture your legs no longer stubbly or the pelvic area free from razor burn and ingrown hair. See yourself in a swimsuit with no worries about your bikini line or inner thigh area. Look at your underarms… After five shadows? GONE! Gross smelly armpit hair? Yes gone too. Do you suffer from facial hair or belly hair or lower back hair?

What if you had a chance to get rid of it? Would you at least give it a try? Let’s ask the burning question once more time? Is laser hair removal really worth the time and financial risk?

Is the treatment permanent?

does hair grow back

Let’s get one thing straight. Your body is a living breathing blood pumping life form. The only way your hair will ever stop growing is when you’re dead. Thankfully that’s not happening anytime soon. However, laser hair removal can provide up to 95% hair reduction. Because your blood is always pumping and the body generates hormones this will allow the body to not only stay alive but will always be generating new blood supply forming hair all over the body. At the end of treatment, the final outcome is super fine, light-coloured hair that’s barely noticeable. After 8 sometimes 12 treatments you can experience smooth, ingrown-hair-free skin with no after-five shadow! 

How many laser sessions do I need?

During the consultation, it’s important to take some things into consideration. Skin tone, hair texture, colour and area to be treated. I believe a better-educated client will have better results. So, there is a lot discussed during this time. The laser itself is attracted to thick, dark, coarse hair. The darker the hair and more course the better result! That’s not to say the laser can’t treat finer hair it just may take a bit longer. Blond and gray hair has zero pigment so that hair is not treatable.

laser hair removal touch-ups?

Please do yourself a favour and don’t ever believe false promises that laser hair removal is permanent. As discussed above when blond fine hair starts to reoccur, It will go through cycles of growth and fallout. Eventually, that hair will start to turn dark. This may take years! When you start to shave and that dark hair starts to grow back stronger, thicker and darker that’s the perfect time for a touch-up! This can occur 1 to 2 times a year depending on each individual. 

Why do I have Growth after all my treatments?

Growth sprits can happen when hormones get disrupted. This can take place during medication changes, starting birth control, changing birth control, PCOS, irregular periods, stress, weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause, just to name a few. Facial hair growth is often a sign of hormonal imbalance. We can definitely treat these hair disorders however it may take some time. The result is still amazing and far better and safer for the hair and skin than waxing.

Is laser hair removal safe?   is laser hair removal safe?

What do you think? Worth it?
