subject: Can Laser Hair Removal Be A Good Choice For You [print this page] Laser hair removal seems to be the sort of treatment that every hair removal option compares itself to and of course, seems to always come up wanting. It is declared as too expensive, too time consuming, too painful, and not effective. Then you are given other options and told you will like them muh better than the laser.
Obviously, every person is different and every section of hair growth is different, so what works for one person may not work for another, but the reality is that laser hair removal is still the gold standard of ways to get rid of unwanted body or facial hair and before you dismiss it out of hand and tell yourself you will never have it done, you should find out the truth about it and what it purports to do and what it does not.
First of all, laser hair removal does not have to be horribly expensive. It can be pricy, but many offices offer deals or coupons or even a pay by the month plan so that you are not laying out a huge amount of money all at once. With a little bit of effort, you can probably find an office that will be able to provide the service at a cost you can afford. The costs of the treatment have really fallen in the past years as the lasers become more common, so even if you looked previously and decided it was too expensive, it is worth taking another look around at the clinics in your area.
Second of all, the laser treatments are not necessarily painful. There can be a slight sting as the laser zaps the hair, but it should not actually hurt. If you go to get a treatment and it is painful, you should definitely stop the treatment and speak to the technician because she may have the laser on too high or not be doing it correctly. You only go back about every 4-6 weeks and the service is fairly quick, although it will naturally be longer if you are having hair removed from a large area like both legs as opposed to just a small area like your eyebrows or chin.
Lastly, laser hair removal providers have never claimed that your hair will be removed permanently, just that it will be gone for a while and that when it does grow back it will be lighter and finer. Obviously, this may or may not be the case with your particular hair, but before you try other painful and expensive treatments, you should consider at least finding out about what the laser treatments can actually do for you. You may be pleasantly surprised.
