There is a lot of misguided information floating around out there about laser hair removal. In this blog, we’re going to address your top 3 questions and see how to answers match up to your expectations of laser hair removal!
Is it painful?
The number one question on everyone’s mind is usually, “How much is this going to hurt me?” Fear not – it’s probably not going to hurt you all that much! Of course, everyone has a different pain tolerance, but most people agree that our laser does not hurt. It is a very fast process and feels similar to the process of tweezing. Additionally, we use an ultrasound gel which applies a cooling effect to the area being treated.
Will I be 100% hair free after x amount of treatments?
Unfortunately, we advise that 100% hair free is not possible with any type of treatment. However, most people will be about 80% hair free after 6-8 treatments, and you can keep going for treatments until you are over 90% hair free. Again, everyone’s body is different – if you have a hormonal issue, for instance, your number of treatments needed and percentage of hair you can keep away will be much different than someone without that issue.
What will I save?
So much! The biggest “thing” you will save is your time. We all lead very busy lives and no one enjoys taking time out of their day to tweeze, wax, or shave. Additionally, saving time in the shower means saving water! This is great for not only your water bill but for the environment as well.
You will also save money. Yes, laser hair removal may seem like a big financial investment initially, but think of how much money you will eventually save by not having to buy razors or wax! This is one investment your future bank account will thank you for.
