Two Ridiculous Myths About Laser Hair Removal

Are you tired of shaving or waxing? A hair removal skin center can help to ensure you never shave or wax again. Your unwanted hair can be removed with a laser, which prevents it from coming back. This means you don't have to shave or wax. Unfortunately, there are many myths out there surrounding laser hair removal. If you are considering laser hair removal, here are a few of they myths you should know about.

One Treatment Will Removal All of the Hair

It is important to note that you will need several laser hair removal treatments to successfully remove all of the hair from a particular area. Each hair follicle produces hair on its own cycle. As such, there is no way to target every follicle at the same time, based on the different growth cycles. Having several treatments helps to remove all of the hair from one area.

Laser Hair Removal is Painful

Another common myth is that laser hair removal is painful. Some patients feel nothing with laser hair removal, while others feel a tiny pinprick sensation that goes away quickly. Those who do feel something say it is less painful than hair being tweezed or waxed.

Laser hair removal offers a great alternative to waxing, providing long-term results you can feel confident about.
