Hair Removal: Laser Versus Waxing

When it comes to hair removal, why would you want to laser as opposed to wax?  Well, there are many reasons why laser hair removal is more beneficial than waxing. 

Waxing is more painful than lasering, especially when you receive your first wax, as the hair being removed is denser.  Then waxing maintenance is every two to six weeks...forever!   With waxing, the longer one does it, the more chance of getting ingrown hairs.  With laser, ingrown hairs are eliminated, as there is no longer hair to become ingrown! 

The whole goal is to get rid of the hair, yet you need to grow it out in order to have your next wax! When you laser, you can keep shaving and come to your appointments shaven until the hair is gone and you no longer need to shave.   

A common misperception is that waxing is less expensive than lasering.  But the truth is, laser is more cost effective in the long run than waxing.  Laser may seem more expensive initially because laser sessions are traditionally paid in advance as a package price, whereas waxing is paid per treatment.  But to maintain your waxing benefits your financial and grooming responsibilities never end!  In comparison, after you have completed your laser sessions, you are done!  

Below is a typical cost comparison for a Brazilian wax versus laser.  This comparison is based on a waxing client maintaining a regular schedule with an esthetician to receive a discount.  Laser treatments are at a discounted “special” rate common to the local industry.

Wax:                                                                                     

Virgin Brazilian        $65.00                                                      

Treatment #2          $35.00

Treatment #3          $35.00

Treatment #4          $35.00, etc.

Laser:

 8 treatments          $600.00

Remember, wax treatments never end (if you want to maintain your desired result).  After eight laser treatments you are done, with no grow-out or shaving ever again!  

So next time you are enduring the "grow-out" period, suffering through the painful waxing process and haunted by the nasty ingrown hairs that follow, consider Laser hair removal at Glo Spa as your new option.
