Laser Hair Removal in Los Angeles
Some people have done everything from razors to waxing in an effort to rid themselves of body hair. Unfortunately, these results are only temporary, which means the hair will need to be removed again shortly after the previous session. Laser hair removal is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser light pulses to permanently destroy hair follicles to produce smooth and attractive skin.
What Are the Benefits of
Laser Hair Removal?
Less Skin Irritation
Razors and waxing strips can cause damage to the hair follicles and surrounding skin. Knicking yourself with a razor is just as irritating as a papercut, and the blemishes that comes from waxing thick hair or sensitive areas is painful. Laser hair removal is not considered a painful procedure and undergoing it means you no longer have to worry about either of these side effects since the hair follicles themselves are permanently removed.
Smoother Skin
When you manage to shave or wax without causing any damage, the hair still grows back quickly, creating bristles of prickly hair and rough patches of skin. Laser hair removal can help you achieve smooth, hairless skin without having to worry about continuously shaving or waxing every couple of days to maintain a smooth appearance.
More Clothing Options
Unwanted hair causes many men and women to avoid articles of clothing they might otherwise wear. If a woman didn’t have time to shave that morning, she might feel uncomfortable wearing anything revealing on a hot day. If a man is embarrassed about the amount of arm hair he has, he might have to stick to long sleeves. Swimsuits, loose-fitting t-shirts, shorts; all of these options are problematic when you are dealing with unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal can open up your wardrobe to all of the styles you always wanted to flaunt.
