We have gratitude for our body hair and the role it plays in our health but it can also be a nuisance, not just in the summer but anytime of the year. While there are multiple ways to rid of unwanted hair, whether it be waxing, sugaring, shaving, plucking, or threading, laser hair removal is the new improved way to give you a more permanent solution.

This method began in the 1960s with a man named Theodor H. Maiman. During this experimental time, this method would leave severe damage and burns. However, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved the laser in 1964 officially.

Over the last several decades, the laser has improved more and more and can work effectively on any skin complexion. Heat from a laser removes hair and destroys hair follicles, and while not permanent, the reduction amount to be achieved can be up to 80%. Here are a few great reasons to choose laser hair removal:

1. Save Time & Money

Waxing and other services are meant to be done on a consistent basis indefinitely. Whether you purchase a package or pay as you go, that is money coming out of your pocket and time spent for as long as you choose to receive services.
- Ex: With laser hair removal you will often only have 8 sessions over two months which last roughly 5-20 minutes each and you can receive a touch up every 6 months to one year.

2. Eliminate Ingrown Hairs

- For some people ingrown hairs after waxing etc. may not be an issue, but this is not true for everyone. Laser hair removal keeps the bumps away.

3. Eliminate Darkened Skin Pigmentation

- Especially for melanin skin, darkened skin tones after shaving etc. can often happen. Lasers can even help lighten the skin because there is less hair and inflammation.

4. Have Longer Lasting Smooth Skin
