Both methods have their pros and cons and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. Let’s take a closer look:
Laser hair removal offers incredible long-term results. Imagine waking up each day with silky smooth legs or a hair-free bikini line. After just a few sessions, hair growth slows down, becoming finer and less noticeable. Over time, laser hair removal is less expensive than waxing and does not leave any ingrown hairs, dark shadows, or regrowth. The downsides include needing at least six sessions for a hair-free area, each treatment being more expensive than waxing, and the need to shave before each session. It is also not effective for white, grey, or ginger hair and is less successful for finer facial hair.
Waxing is a quick and efficient method for removing hair. All hairs are removed during each treatment and regrowth becomes less noticeable with regular appointments. However, waxing requires hair growth between treatments and can make skin more prone to ingrown hairs.
Ultimately, both options are great and many clients choose to mix it up by having some areas treated with laser and others waxed, helping to spread out the cost of laser hair removal.
