Start Your Laser Hair Removal Now to be Silky Smooth for Summer

Summer might seem like quite a long way away, but it’s never too early to start preparing yourself for long days in the sun and tropical holidays. Even if you don’t have any big plans for the warmer months, it’s important to feel as confident as possible. For many people, this means embarking on a hair removal journey. Though there are various ways to remove hair – some people opt to wax, whilst others shave or use specialist hair removal creams – there is no denying the effectiveness and long-term benefits of laser hair removal. This is why laser hair removal has become the ‘go-to’ solution for a lot of people. It’s a convenient, long-lasting and effective way of becoming silky smooth in time for summer.

The Increasing Popularity of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is becoming an increasingly popular method of permanently reducing unwanted body and facial hair, and it’s a service we offer at Cambridge Laser Clinic. Whereas waxing and shaving is an ongoing commitment – one that can be difficult to keep up with if you lead a busy life, and it’s rarely an enjoyable task – laser hair removal keeps unwanted hair at bay for long periods. With the help of specialist laser technology, we can help people to get rid of hair in specific places, all with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

Laser hair removal is a safe, effective and long-lasting way to eliminate unwanted hair. It can be used on almost any area of the body, so you really can be silky smooth all over. While the cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the area being treated, and it has a higher initial cost than other forms of hair removal, it’s a treatment that quickly becomes a worthwhile investment.

The Benefits of Choosing Laser Hair Removal

People choose to get laser hair removal for a number of reasons, and it’s a hugely beneficial treatment option if you are self-conscious about your body hair or if you are struggling to keep on top of other methods.

• With laser hair removal, it’s likely that you will have fewer ingrown hairs. This is because a lot of ingrown hairs are caused by hair being pulled from the skin’s surface and then growing back incorrectly. This doesn’t happen with laser hair removal, as the hair is removed at the root.
• A lot of people find that waxing and shaving irritate their skin, but this is rarely the case with laser hair removal. By removing hair at the root, ingrown hairs and skin irritations are less likely.
• If you choose to shave or wax unwanted hair, you will likely have to do so multiple times a month, even more, if you want to keep on top of any regrowth. This isn’t the case with laser hair removal, as the results are permanent. Though you might need a touch-up eventually, laser hair removal tends to be a ‘one-time’ treatment.
• A lot of chemicals can be found in shaving products and waxes, even more so if you use a specialist hair removal cream. These chemicals can be avoided altogether with laser hair removal.

How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Journey

Before you book an appointment at Cambridge Laser Clinic for laser hair removal treatment, it’s important to prepare your skin. It’s a good idea to use an exfoliating cleanser a few times a week to remove any dead skin cells, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Dead skin cells can trap hair, making it more difficult to remove with laser hair removal treatment. It’s also a good idea to avoid using anything that could irritate your skin beforehand, as this could prevent the treatment from working as well as it should. Other than that, there isn’t much preparation needed before laser hair removal. The sooner you start your journey, the sooner your skin will be silky smooth for summer.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Using a short pulse of light and directing it onto the skin’s surface, laser hair removal is able to remove unwanted hair at the root. This is done by turning the light into heat, which damages the hair follicle, preventing hair from growing back after it has been removed. It’s a simple, straightforward and effective way of removing unwanted body hair. You shouldn’t experience too much pain during your laser hair removal session, and it’s rarely more than mild discomfort.

You won’t see impressive results after one session, and most people need between six and eight sessions to achieve laser hair removal results. There should be a gap of between six and eight weeks between each session, which means the entire process can take a while. This is why it’s important to start your laser hair removal as soon as possible, to ensure that you are silky smooth and free from unwanted body hair by summer.

The exact number of sessions needed varies from person to person, and things such as the colour of your hair and the amount of hair in the area can have an impact. Laser hair removal works especially well on dark hair, and those with lighter hair might need more sessions to rid the area of unwanted hair completely.
