Laser Hair Removal does not receive the accolades and praise it deserves. In the world of aesthetics and even on social media we are always singing the praises of resurfacing lasers or lasers for skin laxity but so often we forget the power and frankly innovation of the laser hair machine! 

For many shaving has never and will never give them the smooth silky skin they desire. Razors can irritate sensitive skin and for some there will always be a five o’clock shadow even immediately after shaving. If you struggle  with ingrown hairs, clogged pores and the dreaded “strawberry legs” waxing and/or shaving is only making these skin issues worse. Put down the razor!

With laser hair you can forget endlessly picking at ingrown hairs and having razor stubble ruin your best going out dress  because with laser hair removal the main culprit is dealt with – the hair’s follicle. Laser hair works by essentially damaging the hair follicle; it is able to do so because of the laser’s powerful light energy. The laser’s light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft which powers the light into heat and it is that heat that damages the hair follicles preventing hair growth.  This is why patients are instructed to shave not wax before  laser hair removal so the light can “find” the hair. 

If you find yourself struggling with constant stubble or hair that maybe makes you feel a little uncomfortable or less than confident Laser Hair Removal is such a great option! Ditch that razor that is only making your skin more irritated and book your laser appointment today!
