What are the top areas for laser hair removal?
Unwanted hair… It’s the bane of existence for a lot of us. We spend hours and hours every year dealing with painful waxing, irritated just-shaved skin, and unsightly ingrown hairs just to rid our bodies of that pesky stubble. We go through all of that just so we can experience that bare, silky-smooth look and feel we all strive for. If that sounds like the story of your life, you may be thinking, ‘There’s got to be a better way.’ There sure is – and it’s Laser Hair Removal!
Wondering if you’re alone in your hairy struggle? Spoiler alert: You’re not. Here are the top 4 areas of the body that have people flocking to the laser services at The Med Spa in Fort Meyers, FL for their hair removal needs.
What is Laser Hair Removal and How Does It Work?
You’ve probably heard about laser hair removal, but maybe you’re wondering if it’s too good to be true. How exactly does the treatment work and what technology is used?
The laser hair removal process employs the use of a medical-grade laser to zap hair follicles into destruction with such precision that the damage to surrounding skin is minimal. The skin’s pigment within the hair follicle absorbs the light of the laser, effectively killing the hair at the root.
The laser can be customized based on your skin type, the thickness of your hair, and the area of the body being treated. This ensures the most effective possible hair removal as well as optimal comfort during the session.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal – And Why You Won’t Regret It
The biggest benefit of laser hair removal is that it is a semi-permanent treatment that rids your body of hair for a long time. While shaving or waxing often results in hair regrowth in just a matter of days, removing your unwanted hair with lasers actually destroys the hair follicle, meaning it will likely never grow back. Even if it does, it will be thinner and lighter than it was before treatment.
Best of all, you won’t have to deal with:
Painful waxing sessions
Razer burn
Messy hair removal creams
Now, it should be said that ALL of your hair will likely not be removed in a single session. But after a handful of sessions, you’ll see some pretty amazing results.
Top 4 Most Popular Areas for Laser Hair Removal
Now that you understand the laser hair removal process as well as the benefits of treatment, you’re probably thinking… Where on the body can this laser magic happen?
While laser hair removal can be performed virtually anywhere on the body, the four most common areas are:
Bikini area
Face
Armpits
Legs
Yup… all the places you wear out your razer trying to get hair-free – those are the places that are tried-and-true for hair removal.
Get Swimsuit Ready Without Worrying About Razer Burn
Darker and thicker than hair elsewhere on the body, those strands in the bikini area are truly annoying. Not only do they make for a self-conscious day at the pool, but traditional hair-removal methods tend to leave that delicate skin in the pubic region irritated.
Laser hair removal does its best work on the bikini area, though. That’s because it’s more effective, leads to faster results, and leaves behind a lot less damage than shaving or waxing.
Eliminate Embarrassing Facial Hair
Struggling with an unwanted mustache or prickly hairs on your chinny chin chin? Girl, we feel ya! It’s so hard to keep up with maintaining those quick-growing hairs on your face, and sometimes you don’t notice one has gone astray until you’re about to walk into an important meeting or a hot date.
Laser hair removal for unwanted facial hair means no embarrassing moments and no irritating razor burn covered up by foundation.
Lift Your Arms with Confidence
Ever forget to shave those pits? Every woman has found herself in a situation where her arms are bared and she realizes too late that she skipped a vital step in her morning routine…
You’ll never go through the embarrassment of unshaved underarms again when you go with laser hair removal.
Silky-Smooth Legs Without the Painful Wax
The big guns… de-hairing those sexy legs.
There’s a daily pain that every woman goes through: Digging through your wardrobe looking for an outfit that will hide your unshaven legs…
With laser hair removal, you won’t be tied down to long dresses and slacks any longer!
Care Tips for Optimal Laser Hair Removal Results
Once you’ve decided on an area to try out with laser hair removal treatment, there are some things to keep in mind when it comes to making the most of your sessions and ensuring optimal results:
Make sure you shave the area at least 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Clean the area prior to treatment and avoid lotion, deodorant, sunblock, or makeup.
Keep the area out of the sun before and after treatment.
Don’t do any strenuous activity in the same day as your treatment – sweat could cause irritation.
Avoid self-tanners throughout the treatment process.
