19 Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
If you’re searching for the benefits of laser hair removal you’re likely on the fence about booking your first session or weighing out the pro’s and con’s against other popular hair removal treatments such as waxing and electrolysis.
Now all of these treatments have their utility and may vary in suitability for different people and circumstances but more often than not we recommend laser hair removal as the premier choice for people looking for near permanent hair removal services.
As a quick summary laser hair removal involves a technique to remove unwanted hair on either the body or the face. This procedure uses concentrated beams of light, better known as laser light in order to destroy the hair follicles.
These beams are directed into the hair follicles which are made up of tiny sacs in your skin were your hairs grow, the pigment within the follicle absorbs the lasers light. This light energy then converts into heat which damages or destroys the hair follicle. After a laser hair removal treatment, the hair will not grow back for a long time, and in some cases, it will never grow back due to the damage caused to each hair follicle. These laser beams work by targeting the melanin (color) of the hairs. Treatment is often best suited for people with a light complexion and dark hair but quality results can still be achieved for other individuals if the practitioner is using the latest laser hair removal technology such as our 3D Trilogy Ice laser device.
The Benefits Of Laser Hair Removal

1. Laser Hair Removal Is Very Fast
Per square centimeter of hair removal due to the low prep time and consistent effectiveness (I.e no multiple applications of wax on the same area) laser hair removal is actually a very quick procedure with some sessions taking as little as 20 minutes. The time that it will take is largely dependent on the area size that is being targeted. For example, it will obviously take far longer in order to remove hair from an area such as your back than it would be to remove hair from the upper lip or your brows.
2. The Results Are Long-Lasting
Unlike the other traditional methods to remove hair such as waxing, sugaring, or shaving, where the hair grows back in days or in weeks. The hair that is effectively removed using a laser will usually not appear for a number of months and sometimes even years. When or if the hair grows back, your hair will be less coarse, lighter as well as a lot less noticeable. For some people, the hair will be gone permanently, which means it will never grow back.
3. The Procedure Is Very Precise And Exact
Provided you have your hair removed by an experienced and trained technician, the light beams operate with exact precision when it comes to targeting your unwanted hair. A professional treatment will also mean that the skin that surrounds the hair follicle remains intact and undamaged.
4. None Of The Discomfort Or Pain Linked With Threading Or Waxing
The laser that passes over your skin feels like a quick and hot snap before the laser moves onto a new area. This type of treatment is definitely far less painful when compared to having the hairs yanked out by their roots which is what happens when waxing particularly sensitive areas like your bikini line.
5. Just About Pain-Free

6. The Freedom To Wear What You Like
You will no longer have to worry about those last minute and often painful shaves when you have an important event coming up. For example, you can wear your favourite strappy or sleeveless tops not having to worry about an overgrowth of hair under your arms. The same rings true for your favourite skirts and of course those trips to the beach in a bikini.
7. Not Having To Remove Your Hair All The Time Frees Up A Lot More Time For You
You wont be surprised to know that many women and men for that matter spend a lot of valuable time when it comes to getting rid of unwanted hair. When you no longer have to remove unwanted hair from your body on a regular basis, you might well find extra time available in your daily routine. This could include reading your favourite novels, more time to spend on your hair and makeup or even a quick pre-going out nap.

13. Minimal Side Effects
There are very few side effects which are in most cases minimal when it comes to the removal of hair using a laser. The side effects that do occur usually only last for a couple of days.
14. Cost Effective
Once you start going for laser hair removal sessions you won’t have to worry about spending money on products such as depilatory creams, razors, costly wax treatments or any other method you used to remove your hair before. The cost up front may be more, but when you compare having no hair for many months or even years at a time you can save a significant amount of money when you are not paying for the regular procedures you once spent your money on. You can also save a lot of your valuable time that you used to spend when waxing or shaving.
15. Low Maintenance
Once you have completed your treatments which is usually between 6 and 10 every 4 to 6 weeks, most people enter what is known as the “touch-up” phase. This usually means you require maintenance treatments 2 to 3 times over the course of a year.
16. No More Ingrown Hairs
Unlike epilating, threading, and waxing you will no longer have to worry about unsightly and often painful ingrown hairs. You can also forget about having to deal with razor irritation or burns. Laser hair removal is even believed to improve the painful condition of ingrown hairs.
17. No More Waiting For Hair Growth
Your hair does not need to surface in order to go for a laser treatment. In fact, most spas and clinics will ask you to shave a day or two before the session in order to prevent the scorching of your surface hairs. What this ultimately means is that while you wait between each session for this method to work, you also get to remain hair-free, unlike a procedure such as waxing where you have to wait for the hairs to get to the right length before you can wax again.
18. High Safety Profile
Using a laser over your skin may seem like a dangerous exercise, but this form of hair removal is in fact extremely safe when performed by a trained and experienced technician. This method also eliminates the chances of cutting or nicking your skin or getting a reaction to a nasty chemical.
19. Non-Invasive
Even though this treatment is highly effective when it comes to targeting the unwanted hair follicles, it is also non-invasive. It also means a faster recovery time and fewer dangers involved.
Quick Tips On Preparing For Laser Hair Removal
If you have decided that you would like to give laser hair removal a try, you need to stop electrolysis, waxing, and plucking at least 6 weeks before your first session. This is because the laser is targeting the roots of the hair which are removed temporarily by plucking or waxing.
It is also important to stay out of the sun for 6 weeks after and before the treatment. Sun exposure can make the removal process less effective along with increasing the likelihood of complications after the treatment.
The Results
After 4 to 6 sessions of Laser Hair Removal treatments, 90% of individuals have achieved hair loss that is semi-permanent. Of course, these results will vary from one person to the next. If your hair does grow back you can go for top-up treatments. In every case, the hair that does grow back is always finer and paler.
