Most clients find the temporary discomfort associated with laser hair removal worth it, especially regarding the long-term results. Successful laser hair removal treatments can last months or even years, making the short-lived side effects an investment in your future comfort.
Laser hair treatments can be better for your skin than shaving or waxing. Laser hair treatments target hair follicles without pulling or cutting your skin, reducing the risk of folliculitis and preventing ingrown hairs before they get a chance to grow.
Are Home Lasers Less Painful Than Professional Lasers?
Some clients like home lasers' convenience and price tag and even report less pain than a professional laser hair removal experience. But there’s a caveat — home lasers typically use a lower energy setting than professional lasers, resulting in less heat directed to the skin and hair follicles.
While each session may be slightly less painful, it’s also less effective. You’ll need more sessions to get the same results as a professional treatment.
Not every home laser is the same. Using a non-approved home laser — or an approved laser on the wrong settings — may result in side effects like burning, scarring, and other skin injuries. Getting laser hair treatment at a salon gives you access to experts who can choose the correct settings for your hair and skin type and guide you through the process.
