Laser hair removal
May 16th, 2008Are you tired of constantly shaving and dealing with unwanted hair on your body? If so, laser hair removal just might be the thing for you! Of course, there might be a better option for you. Some of those options might be shaving, bleaching, tweezing or waxing. Each of these has their ups and downs but might be better for you.
Laser hair removal is my personal favorite method for getting rid of unsightly hair. Shaving and waxing are cheaper and more commonly used alternatives, but they both suffer from some drawbacks that laser hair removal doesn’t have.
First of all, when you shave you leave behind stubble. Depending on how thick your hairs are, that stubble may range from being only slightly noticeable, to being like a dark shadow. What’s worse, it grows back immediately. While it’s actually a myth that shaving causes hair to grow back thicker and faster, it will certainly start growing back the moment you shave it.
Waxing gets rid of hair for a longer period of time, and leaves behind little or no stubble. Waxing is generally much more time intensive than shaving, however, and unless you do it yourself it is much more expensive. Even the do it yourself kits will run you more than a razor and some shaving cream. To boot, waxing is pretty unpleasant!
Laser hair removal, on the other hand, is much less painful and much more permanent. Laser hair removal can remove unwanted hairs for periods of five to ten years, possibly longer. The only real down side to laser hair removal is that it’s the most expensive method, and therefore generally not feasible for large areas of the body.
