Get Rid Of Your Razor: Enjoy Effortless Grooming With Laser Hair Removal

by Anju S. Marketing expert & Business analyst

Picture this – you are getting ready to leave work and head home, when colleagues invite you to animpromptu party. You have a special dress stashed away in the work desk, but you know that your arms and legs are not party ready! And because you are at office, there is no way that you will be able to shave your hair.

Now, had you considered laser hair removal, you would not have to have this worry, because your arms and legs would always be party ready!

Let’s take a quick look at what this actually is all about:

Removing hair using laser is actually easier than it sounds – on paper, it might seem like a complicated procedure, but it is nothing more than a beam of light that hits the surface of your skin, but actually penetrates it to destroy the hair follicles itself. This ensures that there is no further hair growth from that particular follicle, eventually giving you skin that is hair free, smooth and shiny!

Is this the only benefit of the procedure?

If you were thinking that the only benefit of the laser hair removal procedure was being able to wear whatever you want, whenever you want, think again!

• This is a much safer choice in comparison to all the other traditional methods of hair removal that you have been using all these years. Shaving can lead to nicks and cuts, waxing is a terrible strain on your skin and can leave it red and tender, hair removal creams are filled with chemicals that you don’t want anywhere near your skin! Laser needs only a few sessions, minimal discomfort (they say that it feels like

a rubber band snapping against your skin) and you are done!

• No matter which traditional method you use, your hair is bound to return – in some cases, it will become visible in a matter of days, and in some, in matter of weeks. But they will surely and most certainly return! Once you get laser hair removal, you are bidding all the hair bye-bye for pretty much forever! And before you pick the point of debate that even laser is not 100%, allow us to say this – whatever few hair might pop up post laser will be so fine and light, that they will not be visible immediately!

In addition to these main benefits of using laser to remove the unwanted hair, there are other benefits too:

• There is an immense amount of precision with laser – it can target even the smallest of areas, without causing any damage to any other part of the body. This is one of the reasons why you can get laser removal done for your face, upper lip or underarms, without any fear.

• Without a doubt, this is one of the faster methods of permanent hair removal – small areas like upper lip or side burns might not take more than a few minutes per session. Yes, large areas like your legs might take more time, but in the long run, it will seem like a wise investment.

• Traditional methods such as shaving and waxing lead to other problems such as ingrown hair – but laser hair removal side effects do not include the problem of any ingrown hair, because the ‘destruction’ is happening at the follicular level!

So, it’s that uncomplicated?

Well, this would be a yes and no answer! Yes, the procedure is extremely simple – you will have to sit back and relax with protective eye wear on, while a technician applies a gel on the area of treatment and then uses the laser device on the same spots. You might feel a slight stinging sensation, but that is pretty much it. In a matter of minutes, you will be able to leave and go back to your normal routine, while trying to avoid direct exposure to sunlight. In the long run, you might need a few ‘maintenance sessions’, but apart from that, you should be able to enjoy skin that is super smooth and completely hair free, leaving you ready and confident!

And no, because you will need a few sessions, which could be spread over an entire year (depending on how much area of your body you are trying to get hair free!) and it is imperative that you not miss these sessions. It is all the more important that you get the laser hair removal procedure done only from a reputed clinic and at the hands of an experienced and licensed technician. They would also be the

right people to tell you whether with your skin and hair type and colour, this would be a suitable option for you. Also, this is not necessarily the most budget friendly of options – you have to think of it as a more long-time investment.

In case you have been hearing a lot about laser and want to know more about how this procedure works and whether there are any serious laser hair removal side effects, it would be prudent to visit your nearest reputed clinic, get a consultation and all the details and then make the final call!
