What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

Are you tired of always having to remove unwanted hair? Does shaving, waxing, or the use of hair removal creams always seem to cause redness or irritation? If so, you may want to have a look at laser hair removal. It can stop the endless cycle of hair removal and leave you with smooth skin and the confidence to wear whatever you want for any occasion. Here at Allure Laser & Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL, we can help! 

What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

In addition to being rid of unwanted hair once and for all, you may be interested to know there are actually additional benefits of this treatment. Below, we will have a look at some of them:

Save Time & Money

You may not even realize how much of your time removing unwanted hair is taking but if you think back to all of the times you were in a rush and ended up either not dealing with unwanted hair or showing up to an event late, you will be surprised. Also, think about all the money you have spent on waxing appointments, razors, and hair removal creams. It adds up. This treatment will not only save you time but will also save you money in the long run.

Never Worry About Irritation Again

Razor burn, irritation, and redness tend to occur on the more sensitive regions such as the underarms, upper lip, and bikini region. The irritation can not only be uncomfortable but can also leave you feeling less confident than normal. With this treatment, razor burn and irritation will never be a worry again.  

Get Smoother Skin

A lot of people who have this treatment love that their skin actually feels smoother and holds in moisture better. This is because the skin is no longer having to endure other methods of hair removal that can dry out the skin and irritate it. This is a benefit you likely haven’t even thought of.  

Get It Fast

The Laser Hair Removal treatment itself does not take a long period of time. In about 30 minutes or so, you can be back to your regular activities. It really is that fast.  

Avoid Discomfort

Waxing is literally ripping the unwanted hair out by the root and even with numbing spray, it can be quite painful. Shaving can also be painful as mistakes can be made and razor burn can persist. Sometimes even hair removal creams can cause pain to the skin. This treatment, however, is completely painless.

Get Precise and Customizable Results

The Laser Hair Removal that is used is incredibly precise, meaning that only the hair you want to have removed will be removed. You also do not have to worry about the laser affecting your skin.  

Have No More Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs can be highly uncomfortable and can even cause other issues. With this treatment, ingrown hairs never have to be a concern again.  

Enjoy a Long-Term Solution to Unwanted Hair

If you are seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair, there are no options that will deliver as good as this treatment! Unwanted hair can be gone for good with the proper number of treatments and then the constant cycle of unwanted hair will be done once and for all.  
 

Treatable Areas

There are a number of areas in which this treatment can treat. However, if there is another area of concern that is not listed below, let our staff know. They will be able to take a look and see if this treatment could help in those areas as well.

The Underarms

The sensitive underarm area is a popular area of treatment due to the irritation that many faces when shaving or waxing this area. If you want the hair under the arms to be gone for good and never have to worry about irritation again, this treatment can do that quickly.

The Legs

This is probably the most popular area of treatment. Think about how much time you have spent removing unwanted hair from the legs and how much time you would regain if that unwanted hair was gone. This treatment can remove unwanted hair from the top of the legs, the bottom of the legs or the entire area. It is completely up to you! You will be left with smooth skin.

The Arms

If you have unwanted hair on the arms, this treatment can remove it without causing it to grow back in thicker.

The Upper Lip

The upper lip is another sensitive area that can be prone to irritation. This treatment can remove the unwanted hair above the lip and make sure that you never have to have another painful waxing appointment again.

The Back

Unwanted hair on the back, whether it be the upper or lower back can be particularly annoying because it can be difficult to get to on your own. Waxing appointments can not only be painful but the cost does add up. With this treatment, any unwanted hair on the back can be taken care of for good, giving you the confidence you need for any situation.

The Bikini Area

The bikini area is also sensitive and other methods of hair removal can cause redness and irritation. With this treatment, you can be free of any unwanted hair in this area, completely customized to your preferences.

Other Areas

Again, if you do have other areas where unwanted hair is a concern such as the chest area, the knuckle region, or other areas, please let our staff know. It is likely that this treatment will also help in those areas as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment. But, if you do have additional questions about this treatment, please ask our staff! They will be more than happy to answer any and all of your questions.

1. Does Treatment Hurt?

No. The laser that is used in this treatment completely bypasses the surrounding skin and only focuses on the unwanted hair follicle. You do not have to be concerned about any type of pain or discomfort during or after this treatment. It is totally painless.

3. How Do I Prepare for My Treatment Session?

It may surprise you to learn that there is no prep before your treatment session. Actually, it is basically the opposite. Instead of removing the unwanted hair leading up to treatment, you are going to want to leave it alone. This is going to help the treatment target the hair follicle while it is in different stages of growth and that will help the treatment be even more successful.

4. How Long Does a Treatment Session Take?

A treatment session is going to take about 30 minutes to an hour. It is not a treatment that is going to take up a lot of your day and is so quick that you can even have this treatment while on your lunch break!

No, there is no downtime required at all because this is not a surgical or invasive treatment. As soon as your treatment session is over, you can get back to your day as usual. You do not have to worry about scheduling downtime because there is none needed. It really is that simple!

Of course not! This treatment is for any person who is tired of dealing with unwanted hair and wants a solution. More men are deciding to give this treatment a try to also save time in their grooming routine. Men and women alike can enjoy the great benefits of this treatment.
