Waxing vs Laser
Waxing is a common hair removal method used by men and women alike to remove unwanted face and body hair. While women have been suffering through the painful facial hair wax, underarm wax, arm wax and chin wax for years, male waxing is becoming increasingly popular too, including men’s eyebrow waxing and other waxing for men.
If used correctly, waxing temporarily gets rid of hair, but soon enough the hair grows back and usually brings nasty ingrown hairs with it!
Ingrown hair is often a side-effect of hair removal methods such as hair waxing, shaving and plucking. Sadly, ingrown hairs can be unsightly, painful and difficult to remove. Fortunately, Laser By Sia has a solution to get rid of the waxing kit and the ingrown hairs!
Previously, removal of unwanted or excess face or body hair meant shaving, plucking, body waxing, leg waxing, arm waxing, facial hair waxing, or using various creams, which often led to ingrown hairs, burns, pimples and rashes – only to have the hair grow back!
Now, not only is the removal of unwanted hair quick, easy and permanent, you can also fix your ingrown hairs permanently thanks to the most respected laser hair removal clinic in Sydney, Laser By Sia.
So if you are suffering from ingrowns due to ineffective hair removal methods such as wax, and are interested in curing both unwanted hair and preventing ingrown hairs, contact the best laser hair removal option in Sydney, Laser By Sia, now!
Waxing
Many people use wax for hair removal. There are many different brands and types of waxing products and waxing services, including eyebrow waxing, waxing for men, facial waxing, underarm waxing, Brazilian waxing, sphinx waxing and much more! Whether you use hot wax hair removal, at home waxing kits, or get a professional wax at a waxing salon, the method is still the same: scalding hot wax is applied liberally which grips the hair and pulls it out by the roots. While this may temporarily remove the hair, it is not permanent and can also result in burns, rashes and ingrown hairs. Waxing is also error-prone and can drip where you don’t want it! This leaves you wondering how to remove hair wax without pulling out needed hair! It also leaves a sticky residue on your skin that is hard to remove after something like a leg wax. It also only works on longer hair, meaning you have to wait for hair to grow back before you can get it waxed again.
What is an ingrown hair?
An ingrown hair is a condition where a hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin or back into the hair follicle. It is often accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle and inflammation. Ingrown hair most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved or waxed and it can appear anywhere, even on your face after you wax your eyebrows! Anything which causes the hair to be broken off short with a blunt tip can cause ingrown hair. Home waxing is one of the leading causes, but ingrowns often occur even if you visit a waxing salon. Fortunately, laser treatment is the best ingrown hair cure and prevention tool.
How does laser hair removal get rid of ingrown hairs?
Medically, laser is the only treatment which permanently stops ingrown hairs. Every growing hair has an oil gland attached to it which releases sebum (oil) to lubricate the hair as it pushes through the skin. When a hair is trapped underneath the skin as an ingrown, the hair keeps growing and the sebum keeps being released. This causes the ingrown to get larger and, sometimes, infected due to the trapped oil and hair. Laser stops the hair’s growth, therefore stopping sebum production, therefore treating the ingrown hairs. Following your laser treatment, the hair will stop growing, break up and dissipate into the blood stream, which is why it is such an effective ingrown treatment. If you have infection due to a wax, Laser By Sia will get rid of it in one touch!
About laser hair removal
Unlike wax hair removal, laser hair removal is quick, hygienic and easy. It only takes approximately 5 minutes to treat your hairline, bikini line, underarms or your neck to get rid of annoying collar rash and ingrowns, or approximately 15-25 to treat larger areas such as the legs, back or arms. We charge $70 per 5 minutes. Our laser not only removes hair permanently using the very latest laser technology, it is also the best ingrown hair solution for both men and women available today. So say goodbye to chin waxing and other annoying hair removal forever!
Why do women get unwanted hair?
Frequently during hormonal changes, such as menopause or pregnancy, women find they grow unwanted facial or body hair, particularly on the chin, upper lip or cheeks. But even without hormonal changes, women deal with annoying hair on the legs, underarms or bikini line daily. It is this annoying hair which makes women resort to waxing their legs, waxing arm hair, upper lip waxing and other types of hot wax hair removal.
Do men wax too?
Male hair caused by testosterone can be difficult to remove. Many men find they need to resort to back waxing and other male body waxing to get rid of this stubborn hair. Male eyebrow waxing is also becoming very popular. This tough hair, combined with men’s waxing, active sebum and sweat glands can cause major ingrown hairs! Fortunately, laser is the best treatment for this tough hair and ingrown hairs too!
Prevent ingrown hairs.
The only sure-fire way to prevent ingrown hairs is to not shave or wax the hair! But, of course, this still leaves you with unwanted hair. But laser will remove your unwanted hair, while also being a cure for ingrown hairs. Following you very first laser hair removal appointment your ingrowns will disappear. Also, unlike waxing your hair, you also do not have to wait until your hair is visible to get a laser treatment!
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
You will need a number of treatments, performed every 5-6 weeks, until the follicle is no longer able to support hair growth. In the case of stubborn hormonal hair, you will notice a significant hair reduction – hair will become finer, lighter and softer and, most importantly, less noticeable. For the most effective hair removal, you may also need one or two maintenance appointments a year following successful completion of your treatments to keep the area as smooth and hair-free as possible. Remember, laser will remove your existing ingrown hairs after the very first appointment and will not cause any new ones! Plus, you do not have to wait until the hair is visible to get your next laser treatment or to remove an ingrown!
How does laser hair removal actually work?
While hair removal using waxing is an old and outdated, laser hair removal works using a technology called Photothermolysis. This means taking light energy from the laser and converting it into heat energy, which damages the hair follicle. After a series of treatments the follicle becomes sterile and can’t support hair growth. It is this technology that makes laser hair removal permanent. No matter what waxing salons claim, repeated waxing using depilatory wax, or facial hair waxing will not remove the hair permanently, it will not even result in hair reduction! The only thing salon or spa waxing or at home waxing will achieve is temporary hair removal and ingrown hairs.
About laser hair removal
Unlike using wax as a hair remover, laser is very precise, uses no chemicals, leaves no residues and does not travel past the skin and into your bloodstream or glands. This is why laser can be used for facial hair removal, or for other sensitive areas such as under the arms, on the genitals, or in the nose or ears. So, if you have been searching for an alternative to the full body wax, the eyebrow wax, or any kind of wax, but haven’t found the right option for you, contact the most respected laser hair removal clinic in Sydney now.
Why is laser better than other hair removal methods?
These are the hair removal facts: Laser is the best for removing unwanted hair because it is the most permanent hair removal solution available on the market today and it is the only cure for ingrown hairs. Face waxing, eyebrow waxing, body hair waxing, plucking and shaving are not effective for hair removal as the hair will always grow back, no matter how many times you yank it out! These methods also result in painful burns, pimples and ingrowns and, sometimes, even infections. Also, removing hair wax from somewhere you don’t want it can leave you with bald patches. This can make your hair problems even worse and more embarrassing! Depilatory creams and bleaches have their own problems. The skin is delicate and can easily react to harsh chemicals and burn. These chemicals can also travel through the skin and into the bloodstream and glands. This is why laser is the best way to remove unwanted hair.
Does laser work anywhere?
If you have been wondering about how to retire the tedious body wax or facial wax, Laser By Sia is the answer. Laser can be used for getting rid of hairs all over the body, such as on the chest, back, genitals, arms, legs and feet. It can also be used for treating ingrown hairs on the face, beard line, cheeks and neck. Laser truly is the most versatile hair remover you will find.
Will laser treatment hurt?
Does your regular underarm waxing, chest waxing or eyebrow shaping and waxing bring a tear to your eye? Our lasers are equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device which freezes the skin on contact allowing the laser to pass through without causing damage to the surrounding tissue. This makes laser not only the most effective treatment for unwanted hair, but also makes it almost painless. After the treatments you can return to work immediately!
How do I take care of my skin after my laser treatment?
After your laser treatments, it is important you do not wax or pluck any regrowth. Even a simple leg wax will contravene the treatment, as you will pull out the follicle you have just treated! However, you can shave or use depilatory creams if you wish. But remember, you do not have to wait for regrowth to get your next laser treatment. Laser By Sia also has an amazing range of all-natural skincare products that will improve the overall condition of your skin between laser appointments.
