Waxing



Shaving is a popular option because it is a fairly inexpensive hair removal method that you can do on your own at home or in a salon by a professional. Unfortunately, it is also a very temporary method. Waxing has to be done on a regular basis to stay smooth and there are the issues of stubble, irritation, cuts and ingrown hairs to contend with. In addition, there is the pain factor to take into account, which means many cannot bear to wax.



Laser Hair removal



While waxing may have its place, there are many areas that are beneficial to treat with laser hair removal. Many women like the benefit that they don't have to shave armpits daily. Other popular areas to laser are the sensitive bikini area that is easily irritated by waxing and can be left with a red raw appearance. Women who develop embarrassing facial hair can have it removed with laser treatments without having to worry about the waxing re-growth. Laser hair removal is a great option for men who have back hair and chest hair which can be difficult to reach to wax, especially if they don't have a partner to help them out, and time consuming as well. Laser hair removal will alleviate the hassle of regular waxing and get rid of unwanted hair more permanently.



If you have the money to invest in laser treatments, it could be a good choice. If you're waxing once or twice a month, depending on whether you do it yourself or have it done at a salon, and depending on the treated surface area, you could be spending hundreds of pounds a year. If you can manage one treatment every few years to maintain results you're pleased with, it may be worthwhile. Try to estimate how much each method will cost you over the year and decide whether the fewer painful laser treatments are worth it.



If you have a busy life and want to look your best at all times without having to take the trouble to maintain your hair-free body,laser hair removal is definitely for you.
