Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing

We all know by now that shaving is one of the least effective hair removal methods there is. It doesn’t last long, it doesn’t produce the smoothest finish possible, and it can cause some downright painful ingrown hairs and cuts. Most people turn to waxing as their alternative hair removal method of choice – but have you considered laser hair removal? In Colleyville and the surrounding areas, we offer laser hair removal treatments that could be an even better way to get rid of unwanted hair.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Waxing is easy to understand. Hot wax is applied to hair, allowing it to stick to strips of fabric. The strips are then pulled away, ripping the hair out of the follicle, rather than just cutting it down to the surface. This sounds painful, but it’s actually a very simple process that can leave a baby-smooth patch of skin behind.

Laser hair removal on the other hand is a service where a wavelength of light is focused on the area where the unwanted hair grows. The heat energy created by the light actually destroys the cells at the hair root, causing the hair root to “die”, in a sense. What this means is that after a few sessions of laser hair removal, hair won’t grow in that area any more.

Laser Hair Removal Sounds Intimidating

One of the biggest worries about laser hair removal is that it sounds kind of scary. A laser light, killing the cells of your body hair, aimed at your bikini line or other delicate areas? This can be a frightening thought. But with our laser hair removal, Colleyville patients and those from the surrounding areas don’t have to worry about a thing. We hire only trained laser technicians, and our medical staff is always on hand to ensure your absolute safety and comfort.

The process of laser hair removal takes between three to eight sessions, and is usually only repeated every six to eight weeks. Imagine never having to shave daily, or wax weekly, ever again. Instead, you can head into Juvia Med Spa maybe five or six times a year, and unwanted body hair will be taken care of right away. There is no healing time necessary with this procedure, though you may want to avoid direct sunlight for about a week. Unlike waxing, there is nothing applied to your skin that could cause an allergic reaction, or make the process more painful.
