Laser Hair Removal Myths: Setting the Record Straight

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!

Are hairless legs just for athletes, should a man trim or go bare down there? Should he wax or get Laser Hair Removal and be-rid all unwanted hair permanently? But most of all, if a man removes his hair from his body will he still be considered a man? YES! Think Vin Diesel or Channing Tatum.  Women want them and men want to be them.

At Results Laser Clinic we understand the concerns for men and their unwanted hair and as one of Australia’s most trusted skin and laser clinic, your priorities are in the right hands, when you step foot in one of our clinics.

We cater for all men, with different skin tones, and will help personalise your hair removal treatment plan to best suit your priorities, wants and needs, producing optimal results.  We only use non invasive medical graded laser technology that emits light absorbed by the colour in your hair follicles.  The laser travels under your skin to the root of the hair, disabling your hair regrowth but does not damage your skin, resulting in hair free areas from as little as 6-10 treatments.

Grooming with Laser Hair Removal Fact :

Now with more than 30% of our clients being men, we are definitely seeing a rise in male clients who are grooming with Laser Hair Removal.  In fact up to 85% of Australian men are opting for permanent hair removal with full support of their loved ones, not only for their back, chest or midbrow, but now for their cheeks and male Brazilians!  To be hair free, smooth and sexy is now the trend!  After all, we are in the 21^st Century.

So when it comes to male grooming, here are our do’s and don’ts to help you make an informed decision for your hair removal treatments with us.

Here’s what we believe men shouldn’t do:

• Use at home waxes and sprays that can result in an unwanted rash and possible reactions
• Don’t be silly and do a rushed cheap home job, do it right and feel right.
• Don’t attempt to pluck your own eyebrows and mid brow.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Pregnant Women?

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Pregnant Women? Or when trying to conceive? This question has caused great concern for both pregnant patients and laser therapists.

---

During the nine months of pregnancy, common discomforts experienced by women include headaches, heartburn, body pains and insomnia. The hair removal discomforts include the act of bending down whilst shaving or enduring the pain of strip waxing. In the third trimester, most women become desperate and consider most effective hair removal methods such as Laser Hair Removal.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Pregnant Women? Before discussing safety, it is imperative to understand the mechanics of laser hair removal. The hair is eradicated as a laser beam penetrates the skin to target the follicle. It has been clinically proven that the laser beam would not penetrate the skin enough to cause damage to the foetus or the pregnant woman.

The most effective hair removal method on the market is laser.

The procedure results in an 85-99 percent reduction at the conclusion of the treatment program. The most commonly treated areas by women include the underarms, face and legs. While hair is normally treated within 6-10 treatments, hormonal changes as well as patterns of hair growth ultimately determine the actual number of required treatments.

The only time certain areas should be avoided are the Brazilian and abdomen during the final trimester. This is due to the fact that the baby is developing in those areas. Woman should also avoid treatment on the breasts as they are vital for breastfeeding.
