The Ease of New Jersey Laser Hair Removal

Hair removal comes in many different forms, some of which are very quick and painless, others which can be a longer process, sometimes causing discomfort. 

Shaving is the most temporary form of hair removal.  It is both a quick and painless hair removal process.  However, hair will return within a couple of days, therefore it can be inconvenient. 

Waxing is a relatively quick process that usually takes place at a salon, performed by a professional.  Depending on the person’s tolerance for pain, waxing can be a painful encounter.  However, for most it only needs to be done once a month.  This process is not for everyone. 

Tweezing is not a quick and painless hair removal process.  It is quite time consuming, therefore it is best to perform it on small areas that need attention.  Many people find it to be somewhat painful as well.  Again, this depends on the person. 

Electrolysis is also not labeled a quick and painless hair removal process.  Although many find it to offer no discomfort, some disagree and say they need a topical anesthetic during the process.  It is a very slow process, and depending on the size of the area being treated, it could take over a hundred hours to complete.  However, the results are permanent, which is a huge plus.

Most people agree that laser hair removal is a relatively quick and painless hair removal process.  Although typically it does require several sessions to complete, the results are permanent hair reduction, which is worth the time.  In less than one second many follicles are zapped with laser energy, which damages the hair follicles.  Depending on the size of the treated area, one appointment could take as little as fifteen minutes.  Some compare the sensation to a rubber band hitting the skin for a split second.  Most do not describe significant  discomfort, but a topical anesthetic can be applied prior to treatment if desired.
