It is very nice when you are happy with your hair. You can go to the hairdresser for your hair. But what about body hair? In practice, many people appear to be a lot less happy with this. It is quite annoying if you often have to work with a razor, waxing or epilating. When it comes to small bits of hair, it can still be done. Unfortunately, there are also quite a lot of people who are concerned with larger surfaces. Do you suffer from excessive hair and do you want to get rid of it quickly and easily for a long time? Then laser hair removal is a good option.
How does laser hair removal actually work?
Laser hair removal works by means of an advanced laser. The laser shoots short pulses of light at the skin. This light is absorbed by the darkest point (the hair follicle in this case). Because it is all focused on that, the hair follicle is very briefly heated. The cells around the hair follicle are destroyed and hair can no longer grow. The old hairs fall off after the treatment and no new hairs grow back. However, because hairs are not all in the same growth stage, the treatment has to be repeated a number of times. It is good to opt for treatment at a professional clinic, such as Huidkliniek de Vliet. Then you know for sure that you will be helped by people who understand it.
It's permanent
Almost all hair removal methods have to be repeated regularly. Shave every few days. Waxing and epilation is repeated every 3-8 weeks. Since these are usually not pleasant methods, it is nice if the hair just stays away completely. After laser treatment, only some hairs come back due to the natural aging process, but on average you lose 70-80% of the hair permanently.
It only causes irritation once
Shaving has the major disadvantage that the skin can become quite irritated. This causes itching and redness, often with small bumps. It can also be painful if the skin is very irritated. If you regularly shave in visible areas (such as your face), it is of course not nice if it is very noticeable that the skin is irritated. Especially if you have to shave as a woman in these areas. After a laser treatment, the skin remains a little red for a few days, but after that there is no longer any irritation.
It's affordable
At first you may be shocked by the cost of laser hair removal. However, those costs are actually worth it. You pay for a number of treatments, but in return you no longer have to remove hair with other methods. That ultimately saves you quite a lot of money, especially if you look at it over the long term.
It can strengthen your self-image
There are surprisingly many people who worry about their excess hair. For example, it is very annoying for women if they get excessive hair growth on their faces. Excess hair can also cause more insecurity for men. It is therefore not only practical to opt for a permanent solution, but it also provides a better self-image.
A laser treatment process can help you get rid of excess hair growth. It is important that you do not have dark skin and that the hair is dark. The laser works with contrast, so the laser hair removal technique works best if you have dark hair on light skin. The specialist can tell you more about this during the intake. And do you want to lose weight? Then it is better to do that first, because if you lose weight, it can cause more hair growth. A shame if that happens after you just got rid of your excess hair!
