Laser Hair Removal Myths: Setting the Record Straight
Get in touch with us
Laser Hair Removal is a popular long-term solution for unwanted hair, but with its popularity, there are many myths and misconceptions. If you’re thinking about trying Laser Hair Removal but are unsure about what’s true and what’s not, you’re not alone. In this blog post, we’ll address the most common Laser Hair Removal Myths and give you the facts.
Myth #1: Laser Hair Removal is only for woman
Fact:
Laser Hair Removal is a great solution for both men and women! In fact, more and more men are choosing Laser Hair Removal for areas like the back, chest, and neck. The treatment is effective on a wide variety of body areas Whether you’re looking to reduce unwanted facial hair, tame body hair, or maintain smooth skin, Laser Hair Removal is a versatile treatment that works for all genders.
Myth #2: Laser Hair Removal is painful
Fact:
A common fear about Laser Hair Removal is that it’s too painful to tolerate. While everyone’s pain threshold is different, most people describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Additionally, modern laser technology is designed to minimise discomfort. Some lasers even come with cooling devices that help soothe the skin during treatment. Many people find the process much more comfortable than waxing or tweezing.
Myth #3: Laser Hair Removal Only works on lighter skin types
Fact:
Advances in laser technology have made it more inclusive. Our experienced clinical therapists use Medical grade Candela GentleLase Pro, GentleMax Pro and GentleYag Pro technology to effectively reduce unwanted hair for light and darker skin types.
Myth #4: You can get Laser Hair Removal when you have fake tan on your skin
Fact:
It’s important to avoid applying fake tan or self-tanner before your Laser Hair Removal treatment. While it may seem convenient, the pigment from the tan can interfere with the laser’s ability to target the hair follicles effectively. The laser is attracted to pigment, and when there’s fake tan on your skin, the laser may get absorbed by the pigment in the tan instead of focusing on the hair, which can reduce the treatment’s effectiveness.
Myth #5: You can’t shave before a Laser Hair Removal session
Fact:
Unlike waxing, which requires you to let the hair grow out, you are encouraged to shave before your Laser Hair Removal session. Shaving helps remove the surface hair, allowing the laser to focus on the hair follicle beneath the skin, where it’s most effective. Make sure not to wax or tweeze before your treatment, as these methods remove the hair from the root, which the laser targets.
Myth #6: You are exposed to radiation during Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Fact:
Absolutely not! While lasers do use light energy, the radiation is confined to the specific light wavelengths used during treatment and does not pose any risk to the body. The technology is designed to target hair follicles precisely, without affecting surrounding tissues. Laser Hair Removal is a safe, treatment that has been extensively studied and proven to be effective and safe when performed by trained professionals.
Myth #7: Laser Hair Removal is expensive and unaffordable
Fact:
While the initial cost might seem higher than other methods, Laser Hair Removal is a long-term investment. Over time, it saves you money compared to ongoing costs for shaving, waxing, or other hair removal treatments. Plus, it provides lasting results, which means fewer maintenance appointments.
With so many myths and misconceptions surrounding Laser Hair Removal, it’s easy to get discouraged. However, the facts show that Laser Hair Removal is a safe, effective, and long-term solution for those looking to eliminate unwanted hair. Say goodbye to the hassle of shaving, waxing, and other temporary hair removal methods—Laser Hair Removal could be the answer to achieving smooth, hair-free skin!
