Laser Hair Removal: Is It Worth It?

No one enjoys the constant maintenance, pain, and inconvenience of shaving, waxing, or plucking unwanted body hair, only to have it grow back a few hours or a few days later. Not only is it time-consuming, but it can also be costly trying to find the perfect razor, the best creams or oils, and then products to try and keep razor burn or irritation away.

To help my patients get the smooth, silky skin they want and stop throwing away their money on temporary solutions, I am proud to offer advanced laser hair removal at my medical spa Eros Beauty and Wellness in the beautiful San Diego, CA.

Is Laser Hair Removal Really Worth It?

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment used to dramatically reduce or even completely stop the growth of unwanted hair. Just imagine the freedom of wearing shorts, bikinis, and sleeveless tops without the constant need to shave, wax, or pluck delicate areas. At Eros Beauty and Wellness, I use Syneron-Candela Elos Plus laser hair removal as one of the best alternatives to achieve smooth skin without the constant upkeep of traditional hair removal methods.

The combination of radiofrequency with IPL creates a more precise heating of the targeted area, which attacks the hair follicles rooted deep within the skin. This technology allows for optical energy, increasing treatment safety in even darker skin types.

Where Can You Get Laser Hair Removal?

Common treatment areas where patients often require laser hair removal include:

  • Upper Lip
  • Between the Eyebrows
  • Chin
  • Sideburns
  • Neck
  • Underarms
  • Bikini Line
  • Legs
  • Feet/Toes
  • Stomach
  • Back
  • Arms
  • Fingers

Can Laser Hair Removal Save You Money?

Believe it or not, professional laser hair removal can save patients money in the long run. While the cost may seem higher than a single waxing or sugaring appointment, laser hair removal can last up for years and obviate the need to constantly spend money on hair removal methods. Even patients who shave regularly can save on shaving supplies over time.

For some men and women, saving time is even more important than saving money. Without a doubt, one of the most compelling benefits of laser hair removal is that patients no longer have to spend hours each week shaving, plucking, tweezing, or scheduling waxing appointments only to have their hair grow back within a few hours or days.

In fact, laser hair removal can last for years. New growth may occur over time due to age, natural processes, hormonal fluctuations, and other factors, but with regular maintenance sessions, you can maintain your laser hair removal results for years and years to come.
