BRAZILIAN WAXING VERSUS LASER HAIR REMOVAL
by Paulina Saliba

Consumers have not been willing to diverge from traditional Brazilian waxing methods until recent developments in laser hair removal. This article engages in a comparative analysis of the two methods allowing readers to make an informed choice for future brazilian treatments.

A brazilian wax results in a hairless pubic region. The procedure removes those embarassing stray hairs and eliminates shaving burns or bumps. Women report greater confidence with regards to cleanliness and odour control. The pain is said to lessen with each waxing session (apparently) and enables woman with thick or strong hair growth to dress in revealing swimwear and lingerie. It is undeniable that this traditional procedure has it's inherent disadvantages.

Imagine an eyebrow wax and transfer the pain to an area considerably larger and more sensitive. The smooth and silky feeling only lasts for two weeks before the wiry hair appears and becomes irritably itchy. Time and frequency of the waxing treatment also presents a huge disadvantage. A brazilian wax takes approximately half an hour and must be undergone every three weeks. It can be very painful as wax is applied to the hair and removed from the roots. This results in red irritated skin, ingrowns and blistering for days subsequent to treatment.

Has Laser Hair Removal come to the rescue? Laser Hair brazilian is reported to overcome these problems, providing more apparent and permanent benefits after just the first treatment. The use of modern laser hair removal technologies means hair can be treated quickly and effectively usually within approximately 4 to 8 treatment sessions. What does the procedure involve?

During the laser hair removal process, optimal wavelengths of light energy are gently delivered to both the hair shaft and follicle in pulses, through a delicate, computer-controlled hand piece. This heats up the hair, significantly damaging the re-growth potential of the follicle. As part of the laser hair removal process, hair that is hidden under the skin during the treatment will subsequently fall out over the next week or two.

The source of the unwanted hair growth problem is also targeted and treated, allowing for permanent results. Is laser hair removal expensive? Due to the nature of the procedure, costs of a laser brazilian range between $70 and $210 over 6 to 8 treatments. This can be compared to the $55 cost of a brazilian wax which occurs every 3 weeks for a lifetime.

After a quick and safely conducted procedure with a qualified clinician, the hygienic feeling, elimination of ingrowns and visibly finer hair makes a laser hair removal brazilian the better option. You also have the added benefit of resuming daily activities immediately as any redness will quickly subside.
