Should I Go For Laser Hair Removal?

by Dr Chen Tai Ho | Feb 27, 2015

You may have found yourself asking this question in the past. Is it really better than shaving or other methods of hair removal? There are many other methods of removing unwanted hair, including the likes of waxing and tweezing, but these are not as effective and also require more sessions. Today I want to explain and elaborate on the benefits of laser hair removal. Who knows, perhaps you may just be convinced to make the switch!

What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

The benefits are plain for all to see. Waxing and tweezing can prove to be much more painful and uncomfortable, and this has led to the rise in popularity of laser hair removal in recent years. What’s more, repeated sessions of laser hair removal will lead to permanent hair removal eventually. This is because hair will grow back less and appear much finer, even after one session. Multiple sessions will lead to lesser hair regrowth in the long run, which is more convenient for the patient. As hair grows in phases, thus multiple sessions are required to target hair during the correct phase of growth and reduce the rate of regrowth.

Furthermore, lasers can precisely target and remove hair even from hard to reach areas. Imagine trying to tweeze hair from a part of the body that is hard to reach or even see! The laser will target and remove it in an instant. The precision also helps to specifically target and remove dark, coarse hair without causing damage to the skin of the surrounding area. The same cannot be said for waxing, which can leave skin red and feeling sore.

Laser hair removal is not just for women only!

But perhaps what makes it an extremely popular treatment is the speed in which sessions can be completed. Each laser pulse takes much less than a second and it can remove many hairs in that period of time. The treatment area per second is similar in size to a coin, which means that even large areas can be covered and hairs removed in a relatively short period of time. If you plan on treating your upper lip, the process can most probably be completed in under a minute. Larger areas such as your legs or back may take up to an hour depending on the volume of hair and size of treatment area.

Things to Keep in Mind

Despite its benefits, laser hair removal may not be for everyone. Keep in mind that it is a medical procedure and can have some minor side effects as well. It is best to schedule a consultation with your doctor to determine whether you are suitable to undergo laser hair treatment or not. In addition, the laser targets melanin so individuals with darker skin may not be suitable candidates for the treatment. Similarly, those with lighter hair colours may not enjoy the same success as those with darker hair.
