Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing

By Mary Basiadima, 1 March 2020

Laser hair removal v waxing, what’s better?

Waxing or Laser?

That’s the question.

Having warm wax poured onto your bikini area then down from 3 to 1 as the wax strip is ripped off your skin while you scream the first swear word that pops into your mind is not everyone’s idea of fun.

Laser on the other hand is also painful (just not as much!) and a lot more expensive (true in the short term).

So which one should you choose?

Before we decide. Lets look at both . Starting with waxing.

What is waxing?

The wax used a is mixture of beeswax, glycerin, and corn coagulable protein. (not the wax from a Jo Malone or White Company candle!.) Using the thickness of the it pulls out the excess hair and root.

It is a physical hair root method and rather painful if you have experienced it!.

There are two main types of wax:

For both the above methods, the of the wax and technique of are super .

The type of wax, of application, hair direction, hair root strength, all need to be really good to get the best results.

So waxing is relatively simple, but the pain caused by the tearing is not for everyone, many people find the experience to be too painful!.

of waxing last for about 2- 4 weeks before you have to go trough the whole again!.

Is Laser Hair Removal better then waxing?

Laser hair removal is the best method for rid of unwanted hair due to the precision and care the laser uses on your skin.

Laser treatment the hair in the active growth stage, which means the follicles are permanently destroyed and should not produce any more hair.

Result!.

Like with waxing a small patch of skin is tested first to see how you react to the laser. A patch test is performed at your to make sure your skin is able to the laser well.

After your skin has passed the patch test test! You will be ready to begin your course of treatments after 24 hours, to make sure there are no bad reactions to the laser.

People who choose laser hair over waxing say it is :

Laser hair removal for permanent hair removal, unlike waxing

If you want permanent hair or of up to 90% laser hair removal is recommended. It saves time, money, effort and is less painful in the long run.

Here is how the technology works

Laser works by generating heat that the hair root destroying the hair matrix and hair stem cells which leads to permanent hair or hair reduction.

that are by the hair’s as it into hair follicles just under the skin’s surface.

The pulses of energy destroy the hair right down to the root safely, any surrounding skin or tissue in the process.

After 6-8 sessions, skin will appear even and smooth, with any hair visibly reduced.

Laser technology v waxing

Laser hair removal technology has been around for over 20 years so is and proven.

Candela the very first laser hair machine in the world and they and are used in high end clinics and worldwide

One of the best laser hair removal on the market is the Gentle Max Pro. It is approved by the US FDA and uses and Nd: YAG dual- wavelength.

Laser hair removal v waxing appointments

Laser hair follows the hair growth cycle, so it is important that you follow and stick you your appointments.

So if you are thinking about getting laser hair for the first time you need to set aside enough time and commit to the whole for best results.

Laser hair removal v waxing for side effects

Laser hair removal has very few side effects with most people finding it not too . The treatment feels like a rubber band flicking against your skin. The most common skin includes redness, erythema, oedema, which usually in a few hours.

When off the wax the hair may break and stay in a part of the pores. This can cause skin problems such as folliculitis, hairs and infected spots which can be painful and are also not a good look!.

One of the most popular times we book in for a wax is the day before our summer . This can be very problematic though as waxing can also remove the top layer of dead skin and the new fresh skin is more to   of sunlight.

This in turn can cause skin discolouration or a change in pigmentation of the skin. It can be especially on the upper lip if sunblock has not been liberally applied.

Going through the waxing process just a few days prior to going on holiday when you’re going to be out in the sun more than normal is not always the best choice for you skin.

Another pitfall to waxing comes in the form of ingrown hairs. Dermatologists say waxing can actually help cause ingrown hairs, which can be quite painful.

How waxing can

The rapid process of waxing hairs out so fast that it can actually tear at the lining of the skin. The lining guides a hair’s growth and if the lining is damaged, and the hair doesn’t have a to re-grow, the hair doesn’t have a good exit from the body.  This causes hairs.

On top of that, waxing requires you to wait for the hair to grow back before you can wax again. Is waxing worth it?  Many say no.  There are many more to removing hair though a laser than forcing your body to go through the hazards that come with waxing.

Why we recommend Laser Hair Removal over waxing

. Waxing is easy to do either at home or in a clinic and is still very today and cheaper then laser.

Waxing results that can last much longer than shaving so is preferred to but not to laser. Also waxing is never ending. As long as your hair grows you will have to wax. With laser once the hair has gone……it’s gone!
