Waxing Versus Laser Hair Removal

Ok, so I want to be clear that what I am about to say comes from 8 plus years experience and thousands of patients treated. So, here we go.

Lately I am seeing all these ads about waxing and how amazing it is. Then I think about what we do at my office and I gotta tell ya, there is no comparison. Let’s talk about waxing for a minute. Waxing. Does it hurt? Yes. Does it ever stop hurting? No probably not. Ripping your hair out of your skin probably never stops stinging and hurting. Do you have to do it over and over? Yes. Is there ever truly an endpoint? Probably not. Is it expensive? Yes. It really adds up over the years.

Now let’s talk about laser hair removal. My office has been offering whole body laser hair removal for all skin types male and female for the last 8 years or so. We have treated thousands of patients successfully without complications. My patients tell me that at first it can feel like rubber bands flinging against your skin for a second, but most of them refuse numbing, which we do offer. I feel like that’s a good thing. Also, we haven’t had anyone that it didn’t work on that I am aware of. The fact that it works on all skin types is a plus as well. In addition, all the procedures are provided by nurses or physicians in a proper sterile environment with proper pre- screening and all the consults are free. To add to that we even have lifetime specials that are reasonably priced that include any possible touch ups for years. I guess I just want to convey that I think laser hair removal is more effective, can be permanent, works for all skin types, is practiced in a safe environment and is actually affordable. That is all.
