Unwanted body and facial hair is a problem for both women and men. While there are several options for hair removal, such as shaving, waxing, plucking and threading, they have significant drawbacks. These drawbacks include discomfort, irritation, and the fact that the results are temporary. While electrolysis is a more permanent option, it is time-consuming, painful and expensive.

In recent years, many people have discovered cosmetic laser hair removal. While only professionals can perform laser depilatory services, the results are often a significant improvement over traditional options. Here are some of the advantages:

Permanence

Unlike waxing and threading, laser hair removal with a machine such as the Aeslight Smooth Diode, is usually permanent. Over time, it costs a lot more to see a beauty professional for waxing and threading services every three weeks than it is to undergo one or two laser treatments.

Minimal Discomfort

Professional lasers are designed to minimize discomfort while effectively removing hair. In waxing, threading and plucking, hair is being torn from the root, causing pain, inflammation and redness that may take at least a couple of days to go away.

Less Time Consuming

Hair removal can take a significant amount of time. Individuals who wax or shave at home can expect to spend several hours each month on body hair removal. Those who see a professional spend even more time traveling to a salon or spa. Laser hair removal requires only a few office visits for permanent results.
