It Hurts Too Much

First, it’s important to understand that pain is pretty subjective, and tolerance of discomfort can range considerably from one person to the next. Most people feel that laser hair removal in College Park is similar to being snapped with a rubber band. While this may not be the most comfortable sensation, it isn’t as painful as some may suspect. Topical creams can be used for clients that have a lower pain tolerance.

It’s Only For Women

The idea that only women can appreciate the benefits of bikini hair removal reinforces false stereotypes about gender. The truth is that a lot of men and women prefer to have permanent hair removal in the bikini area for a wide range of reasons, from aesthetics and hygiene to athletic performance.

It Isn’t Safe for People With Dark Skin Tones

The first lasers used for hair removal worked primarily by targeting melanin. This made laser removal services more challenging with those who have less contrast between skin tone and hair color. Thankfully, the technology available to modern practitioners has advanced considerably. There are now a variety of lasers that can be used for different skin tones. A trained and experienced professional will know which lasers will work best and can work one-on-one to develop the right approach for your needs.

It Only Takes One Treatment

It would be amazing if a single treatment would do the trick for good. Unfortunately, the hair growth cycle prevents this one-time-only approach to permanent hair removal. If you truly want lasting results, you’ll need to schedule several appointments to catch all hair cycles. For most, that means around 6 to 8 sessions that are each spaced several weeks apart. While this may be slightly inconvenient for some, you’ll get to avoid the shaving and waxing every few weeks for the rest of your life - so it’s still well worth the effort.

It Causes Ingrown Hairs

Methods like waxing or shaving can cause ingrown hairs, which are painful and unsightly. However, laser hair removal works much differently because it targets hair at the root. That means there’s actually less of a chance of developing ingrown hairs when undergoing treatment. The process can also help to reduce skin irritation and improve texture by decreasing bumps and other issues that are caused by waxing and shaving.

It Takes Too Much Time

Individual sessions last around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on which area is being treated. Clients can return to their normal activities immediately without any downtime at all. So, while you’ll need to carve out a handful of appointments over the course of a few months, the amount of time you’ll save by avoiding waxing at the salon or shaving every day in the shower will far outweigh the time required for permanent hair removal.
