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 (just not as much!) and a lot more (true in the short term).

So which one should you choose?

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

What is waxing?

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

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

There are two main types of wax:

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

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

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

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 hair due to the precision and care the laser uses on your skin.

Laser the hair in the active growth stage, which means the follicles are permanently destroyed and should not 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 consultation to make sure your skin is able to tolerate 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 removal over waxing say it is :

Laser hair removal for permanent hair removal, unlike waxing

If you want permanent hair removal or reduction 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 the hair matrix and hair follicle stem cells which leads to permanent hair removal or permanent hair reduction.

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

The pulses of energy the hair right down to the root safely, without damaging any skin or tissue in the .

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

Laser technology v waxing

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

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

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

Laser hair removal v waxing appointments

Laser hair removal the hair growth cycle, so it is 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 .

Laser hair removal v waxing for side effects

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

When tearing 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 extremely and are also not a good look!.

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

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

Going through the waxing just a few days prior to going on 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 hairs. Dermatologists say waxing can actually help cause hairs, which can be quite .

How waxing can

The rapid process of waxing pulling 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 ingrown 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 positives to removing hair though a laser than forcing your body to go through the 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 then laser.

Waxing results that can last much longer than shaving so is preferred to shaving 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!
