Laser Hair Removal: Cost, Safety & Long-Term Benefits
The use of laser hair removal has gained much popularity as a method of unwanted hair removal on the body and face. The three main factors to consider before determining whether it is right or not include the cost of the treatment, the safety factor, and the long-term benefits that one can have.
Cost: Laser hair removal can be very cheap or expensive depending on the size of the area that is being treated, your location and the provider. Approximately 6-8 sessions of treatment will be required.
A session may cost less than one hundred dollars in a very small one to several hundreds of dollars in a large one, so depending on the outcome the total cost may be in hundreds to hundreds of dollars. Although the initial expense is steep compared to shaving or waxing, it is believed by many to be worth it considering the long-term hair removal and much less maintenance.
Safety: Laser hair removal is usually very safe in the hands of a trained system through the use of correct equipment. The side effects are mild and temporary and most of the people develop for a day or two only (such as redness or slight swelling). You will have to shun the sun at the time and after treatments, as the sun may raise the risk of burns or pigment alterations.
The effective type of laser and settings will be applied to your skin and hair by a trained technician. This is also important to be safe. The risk of the serious complications (burns or scarring) is very low in the hands of an experienced provider. Altogether, laser hair removal is quite tolerable and can be deemed to be safe in the majority of people provided that the necessary measures are observed.
Long-Term Benefits: With a complete course of treatment, the majority of individuals experience a large reduction in hair growth (around 7090 percent of the hair reduced). Regrowth would be sparse, finer and lighter. You can literally say farewell to having to shave regularly or waxing.
Laser hair removal can also be considered as a money-saving measure in the long run in terms of money spent on razors and waxing sessions. The other tremendous advantage is that ingrown hairs and razor bumps are removed. In case you have frequent irritable bumps (say, in the bikini area or in the beard area), laser therapy will eliminate them by reducing the proliferation of hair that causes the bumps.
Laser hair removal is more likely to be successful on an individual with darker hair and with light skin (very light or gray hairs are unlikely to respond). Nevertheless, to a larger majority of candidates, the fact that they will no longer experience constant removal of hair and that they will not ever fear that stubble will be observed by others is the biggest advantage of undergoing Laser hair removal.
