As we honor Earth Day every April, we want to take a minute to acknowledge how laser hair removal is beneficial to the environment!
Think about it. Is there any other eco-friendly solution to your hair woes?
Shaving is the most common form of hair removal and often considered the cheapest and most convenient in the short term (but you should visit our other blog entries to learn why laser removal is better both more convenient and cheaper in the long run). Are you aware of how much water shaving wastes? According to the EPA, you can waste up to 10 GALLONS of water while shaving! If you shave every day, that is approximately 3,000 gallons of water a month.
Taking water waste into consideration, it would seem that waxing is the better option, as it is a waterless form of removal. But what happens to that wax after you rip it off? Believe it or not- it goes to a landfill, where some of it will eventually break down, but some of it will not.
Of course, shaving also creates waste in the form of plastic razors (these cannot be recycled in the United States and will take hundreds of years before they begin to decompose). And when shaving cream goes down your drain, those chemicals can make their way to local waterways, impacting the ocean and wildlife.
Therefore, if you’re all about helping the environment, laser hair removal is truly the best way to go. If that’s not enough to help you schedule your consultation, consider what else you’ll be saving. In the long run, you’ll save money, time, and your sanity!
Help conserve water, save the planet, and save on your monthly water bill, all while achieving that hair-free look you desire, with laser hair removal. Contact us ASAP to schedule your consultation!
