13 reasons for your laser hair removal

In an age where hair-free, smooth skin is the norm, it is natural for women and men to strive for the look of a hairless goddess. However, the desired perfection usually requires a lot of time and money. And it's not always painless.

If, like most women, you use various methods of hair removal such as waxing, shaving and tweezing, you can only benefit from laser hair removal using diode laser and alexandrite laser. This technique is getting better all the time thanks to technological innovations.

Read on as we present 13 reasons nu your analysis to consider today's laser hair removal technology.

1. permanent results

Perhaps this is the main reason why you want to try lasers. After all, what could be better than getting rid of pesky, unwanted facial and body hair once and for all!

So can laser hair removal provide completely permanent results? Almost. It can reduce hair growth by around 90 per cent. With one-off refreshing treatments, for example once a year, you simply stay hair-free.

This hair epilation technique works by targeting laser beams to damage the hair follicles. The process prevents hair growth from the damaged follicles for a long time.

Essentially, laser hair removal reduces the number of hairs in an area. So you can expect permanent hair reduction after a few laser sessions at LASER AESTHETICS.

1. value for time

Time is money! Or perhaps much more valuable than money.

Think of the number of hours you spend pulling hair off your face and body, only to repeat the same process within a few days!

A survey found that the average (British) woman spends an astonishing 72 days (1728 hours) in her life shaving off unwanted hair. That's over a thousand hours of more important and enjoyable tasks left undone!

Laser does not require as many trips to the doctor's office as waxing. Laser requires a few sessions, the number depends on many factors. Most people are recommended 6 to 10 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart.

1. fast

Laser hair removal sessions are much less time consuming than other methods.

The time required for a session depends on many factors, including:

-the laser used

-the area to be treated

-the professionalism of the operator

-your sensitivity to pain

It can take from one minute for the upper lip to half an hour for full upper body.

With advanced laser hair removal techniques like ours the diode laser and alexandrite laser the laser hair removal process is much faster; large areas like legs and back only take about 10 to 15 minutes.

1. cost effective

You heard me right!

Yes, laser hair removal is notorious for its high cost. However, you only have to pay for a certain number of sessions. Compare this to the never-ending cost of sharp razors or waxing strips or trips to the beauty salon.

Laser hair removal is definitely cost-effective in the long run.

1. pain free

If stories about lasers being a painful process have put you off taking the plunge, there's news to rejoice over.

Laser technology now offers much gentler sessions. QUANTA's Diode Laser and Alexandrite Laser, for example, keeps you comfortable by cooling the skin before and during the process. In addition, its unique cooling mechanism ensures a virtually painless treatment.

Discomfort, if any, is usually minimal compared to other treatments such as waxing, tweezing and electrolysis.

If you suffer from sensitive skin, your therapist can use settings that aim to reduce the perception of pain.

1. don't worry about incidents

With laser hair removal, you almost always get smooth skin.

No more waiting for hair to reach a certain length! You can shave anytime in between for perfectly smooth skin.

1. safe and precise

Lasers target hair follicles with precision. This allows you to remove coarse hair without affecting the skin around it. What's more, lasers come with different heads to target different areas depending on their size.

1. well suited for all areas

Laser hair removal is a versatile method. It can be safely used to treat all areas of the body including arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, neck and face (except around the eye area).

1. now safe for a wider audience

Some time ago, laser hair removal devices were considered unsuitable for darker skin tones. However, these devices are now suitable for a wider range of skin tones.

Although lasers are most effective if you have dark hair, they can also work on fine and light hair. Very light hair colours such as white, blonde-white and some reds may still not respond well to this type of treatment.

Talk to your therapist to assess the suitability of your hair colour!

1. no ingrown hairs

Laser treatments destroy the hair follicle and stop the hair from growing back. So unlike other methods that remove hair from the surface of the skin, areas treated with lasers do not fall victim to the dreaded ingrown hair.

1. low maintenance

Once you have attended the recommended number of sessions, only a few touch-ups are required for maintenance. These are usually only a couple of times a year.

1. no mess

With the laser, you can eliminate the sticky mess of waxing. Because of the reduced hair growth, you don't have to shave frequently. So no messy creams and stray hairs. Yay!

Our Alexandrite laser doesn't always require the use of gels like IPL. So it's a pretty clean procedure.

1. confidence booster

If you've ever felt out of place because of your hairy skin, you'll say goodbye to that feeling for once.

The next time you slip into your favourite sleeveless dress, you won't worry about your skin anymore!
