January means fresh starts and new plans. Beyond joining a gym or ordering less takeout, more people than ever are breaking up with shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal is the fastest-growing self-care treatment of 2024 (no pun intended), according to Milan Laser.
When it comes to unwanted body hair, there used to be two options: Acceptance or enduring painful, expensive and frustrating treatments. Now that laser hair removal is more accessible, there’s a third option: Permanent results that are more affordable and less painful than a shaving or waxing routine over your lifetime. As a bonus, there’s no downtime, annoying growing-out period or risk of ingrown hairs.
Read on to learn why so many people are turning to laser hair removal (and why you might consider it, too).
Less hassle and far less pain.
Shaving is pretty much an everyday habit, and dull blades can cause razor burn and painful rashes. (Have you seen the price of fancy quad-blade razors these days?) Waxing lasts longer, but it’s more expensive and can be excruciatingly painful depending on where you get it. Just thinking about a Brazilian is enough to make your eyes water. Tweezing takes forever and isn’t sustainable aside from small areas.
Laser hair removal feels like the snap of a rubber band, according to most clients. It can feel a little spicy at times but not as painful as a wax. The state-of-the-art lasers at Milan Laser use a cooling spray to keep you comfortable.
More affordable.
Those Brazilian waxes can add up fast. Over your lifetime, they can cost an estimated $15,000, according to Milan Laser. Monthly back waxes will run you over $18,000.
Laser hair removal treatments cost around $2,500, with payment plans available. And once the hair is gone, it’s gone. If a stubborn hair pops up later, the cost to remove it is included in Milan Laser’s Unlimited Package!
Suitable for everyone.
While it might not be the case everywhere, Milan Laser only uses lasers that are safe and effective for all skin tones. Theirs can precisely target the hair follicle, eliminating hair at the root without damaging skin. The hair does have to have some pigment for the laser to capture, but Milan Laser offers a free consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate.
Anyone can undergo laser hair removal for any reason – on any part of the body that grows hair. The team of trained professionals at Milan Laser work with men and women. They offer full chest and back treatments to make going shirtless more comfortable.
They can ensure military members are clean-shaven and ready for inspection at any time. They also help bodybuilders and other athletes show off their hard-earned gains.
Faster treatments and permanent results.
You can get a full leg or back treatment during a lunch break – and something like a lip or underarm treatment takes 10 minutes or less. The length of your session will depend on the body part.
Laser hair removal usually takes between seven to 10 treatments to achieve 95% hair removal. The treatments are scheduled five weeks apart, with free touch-ups at any Milan Laser.
No downtime!
How annoying are the grow-out periods between waxing appointments? With laser treatment, you actually need to shave beforehand so you can enjoy relatively smooth skin before and after. There’s no waiting time after a laser treatment. Anyone who’s ever gotten into a pool or the ocean too soon after waxing or shaving will love this!
Ready to get rid of unwanted body hair in 2024?
Here’s what to expect during a laser hair treatment: At your first session, your trained technician will draw a temporary grid on your skin to ensure accuracy and coverage. The laser is adjusted to the exact specifications for your needs, and you wear safety goggles the whole time. A cooling spray keeps you as comfortable as possible. For the next few treatments, you’ll notice you can shave less often – and there’s less hair to shave. Each session the laser gets gradually stronger to deliver the best results. Until you’ve graduated with smooth, hair-free skin!
