Are you one of the people that are still shackled to their razors and painful, messy waxing. What's keeping you from the joys of the hairless armpit? the pleasures of a perfectly and permanently groomed bikini line, the smooth upper lip? How about a hairless easily maintained back?
Many people still believe certain misconceptions about laser hair removal. Lets's take a look at what's true and what's myth.
What Are Some Common Laser Hair Removal Myths?
Myth Number 1: It’s going to HURT!!!
Pain is the one of the biggest concerns our clients have when they come in to us for a consultation. Luckily laser hair removal has come a very long way in the last 15 years. Newer system platforms, use excellent integrated cooling which cools the skin during the treatment minimizing any discomfort and eliminating the need for numbing creams or messy cooling gels. Though there may be a brief feeling of heat it is fleeting, and many clients hardly feel a thing! I speak from experience when I say that Brazilian laser hair removal is WAY less painful than waxing!
Myth Number 2: Laser hair removal isn't REALLY Permanent
Yes and No. The hair follicles affected by each laser hair removal will be PERMANENTLY destroyed, and never produce hair again. However, over the years following your treatment new hair follicles can be stimulated to produce hairs, particularly during pregnancy. This tends to be minimal and easily taken care of with a touch up treatment every year or two, and some clients will never require a touch-up.
Myth Number 3: It’s Super Expensive
In the last 15 years laser hair removal has become quicker, less painful, more effective, and LESS EXPENSIVE!!! Pricing starts at as little as $89, with discounts available for multiple areas and treatment packages. Many clients are taking advantage of lower prices to do larger areas like full legs (we even include bikini for free!). Think how much you could save on waxing, razors, depilatories etc.
Myth Number 4: It’s too Embarrassing!
Body hair can be a sensitive topic for many ladies. I used to think that I was the only woman in the world with toe hair, it was my dirty little secret until I went into the Medispa industry and found that almost ALL women experience hair growth in “strange” places. As laser technicians we treat it all, and we commonly remove hair on breasts, bum cheeks, toes and faces. I always ensure clients are completely comfortable with me and with the treatment and we ensure that all your treatments will be with the same technician. In fact by the time were done we probably will have shared more than you have with your closest girlfriends! And of course, whatever happens in the treatment room, stays in the treatment room! Brazilian laser hair removal, which includes EVERYTHING from your navel to your bum, is our most popular treatment, and believe me, it is 100% worth it! Most clients only regret not doing it sooner.
Myth Number 5: Shaving Causes Hair To Grow Back Thicker And Darker
You'll have to shave in between your laser sessions, but don't worry! shaving doesn't influence hair growth. It won't grow back thicker and darker. Changes in hair growth/colour are usually hormonal or related to lifestyle changes such as a medication.
Myth Number 6: Laser Hair Removal Isn't Safe
Laser hair removal is safe when provided by a qualified and experienced technician. And no, laser hair removal doesn't cause cancer or contribute to any other know health concerns.
Hopefully we have demystified the world of permanent hair reduction for you!
