5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Laser Hair Removal*

Firstly, let me say I’m a firm believer in doing what you want with your body hair. These days I don’t shave or wax half as much as I did in my 20s especially in winter and I’m okay with it. That’s my choice. However, as I’m living with a hormonal imbalance I have noticed hair where I didn’t used to have it, which does damage my self esteem. I’m not alone in this. Hair growth is one of the top reasons people feel insecure in their own skin. So if it’s your choice to hair remove every week, have you perhaps thought about looking into laser hair removal?

Professional laser hair removal from a clinic like Pulse Light Clinic in London, is the deliberate removal of hair using laser technology. It works by using laser light pulses to destroy the hair follicles. It targets the melanin (the colour) in them which in turn damages the follicle to slow and even stop the hair regrowth. Because it’s an intense beam of light it only targets the hair leaving the rest of your skin unaffected. This makes it a safe way to remove unwanted hair. This kind of hair removal treatment is particularly effective for people with fair skin and dark hair but it is suitable for all skin and hair types.

So here are 5 reasons you should be considering laser hair removal;

You Don’t Need to Constantly Shave

I don’t know about you, but I hate shaving. Yes, I love that smooth feeling afterwards but the actual act of doing it is not my fave. Bending into all sorts of positions to make sure you didn’t miss a single hair, the buying and replacing of blades (why are they so expensive?) The moisturising. And of course, the eventual regrowth! I honestly long for winter when I don’t have to as often. This is 100% my number one reason for considering laser hair removal.

It’s Long Lasting

Although laser hair removal isn’t permanent, it does last much longer than say shaving or waxing and it will mean your regrowth is finer. When you shave you’re just removing what is visible and when you wax you’re simply ripping out the hair. With laser hair removal you’re damaging the follicle itself making the regrowth finer and fairer.

You’ll See a Reduction in Ingrown Hairs

Ingrowing hairs are the worst, can we all agree on that? They’re painful and unsightly and sometimes they can even get infected. The worst place to get them is of course the bikini line, nothing looks worse than whipping off your panties to reveal a ton of angry red bumps! Laser hair removal is a great solution for that. As any regrowth you have will be finer you’re less likely to get the dreaded ingrown hairs,

It Improves the Condition of Your Skin

This one mainly applies to facial hair removal. Did you know that one of the cause of spots is dirt and bacterial getting clogged in the hair on your face? If you have particularly bad skin it might be worth looking into having the hair removed to see if it makes a difference.

Lastly, It May Even Improve Your Self Esteem

If excess hair is making you feel bad about yourself, has you removing it weekly or making you want to keep your clothes on, it may be a great investment to have laser hair removal. I know better than most how much it sucks to go through life hating on your own body and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. If having excess hair removed by a professional will make you feel good about yourself, then I say go for it, it’s as good a reason as any!

I feel so happy we live in an age where these sort of technological advances are available. Life is hard enough without worrying about excess hair!
