The True Cost of Shaving and Waxing
Shaving and waxing may seem like a cheap and easy way to get smooth legs and underarms, but the reality is that it can end up being very expensive. All those packs of razors and the regular waxes needed to keep your limbs hair free can soon add up. And it’s only when you do the maths that you realise just how expensive it is.
The Ongoing Financial Drain
When was the last time you purchased a razor and shaving blades? And when was the last time you purchased shaving gel, aftershave, aftershave balm, or an exfoliating scrub? If you normally get waxed, consider the cost and time that you’re spending.
The Time You Never Get Back
Laser hair removal works in a slightly different way to other hair removal methods. To achieve the best results we recommend a course of 6 to 8 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart. After this period of time the hair growth will slow right down and you should only need an occasional top up treatment to maintain your smooth hair free skin.
Skin Health: More Than Just Smoothness
Shaving is a very common practice and people tend to shave on a daily basis, almost on a required basis. Shaving leads to many skin problems including razor burn, cuts and ingrown hairs as well as shadowing and uneven skin tone and regrowth. Similarly, waxing causes a lot of redness, inflammation and trauma to the skin. Common causes of ingrown hairs and skin pigmentation include shaving and waxing especially in the sensitive areas.
Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicle and is an excellent way to prevent in-grown hairs. By treating the root of the problem, laser hair removal will significantly reduce the occurrence of in-grown hairs. For patients who frequently experience inflammation due to ingrown hairs, laser hair removal is often a more permanent solution.
Comparing Results and Value
Shaving and waxing is an infinite cost that will never come to an end. Laser hair removal is a one time investment in a series of treatments with a huge pay off of almost no maintenance. Although the initial cost is higher, the long term value is so much higher.
What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal
Another common fear is pain. Fortunately, this is minimal with lasers and almost non-existent when using modern laser technology as we do at Nuovo Clinic, allowing the skin to receive the full benefits with the least amount of discomfort.
The feeling is usually a short hot flash or a bright flash of light. Much less discomfort than waxing. More than expected, treatments are quick. Small areas may take a few minutes but larger areas such as legs are no time at all.
