Many people want a permanent solution for the removal of hair. They prefer waxing, threading, and other cosmetic products to remove their hair. But after these, they have to repeat the process because these techniques remove hair for a short period. After waxing, hair takes approximately a month or more to grow back. Some people take it as a burden and opt for a permanent solution like laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal techniques use a  beam of light to remove hair. Also, it’s considered the best hair removal technique for people who want to remove their hair permanently. But every procedure has some pros and cons. Let’s discuss them.

Pros of Laser Hair Removal 

• It does not remove hair forever but it reduces hair growth drastically.
• It can be done on any area of the body, and the machine covers a large area quickly.
• The laser hair treatment provides excellent results especially when the hair is dark and the skin is light in colour.
• The process is painless as the professional uses the cooling system to numb the area.
• The process takes fractions of seconds to remove the hair from the targeted site. So, it is less time-consuming.

Cons of Laser Hair Removal 

• Yes, it’s right that it takes fractions of a second to remove hair from the target area like upper lips but its multiple sessions make it a time-consuming process.
• You can’t even skip one session even in an emergency.
• The process is costly.
• The process is less effective for dark skin tones.
• In case a non-certified and non-experienced person conducts these sessions, there are increased chances of skin burn, redness, discolouration, scars, etc.

That being said, do consult a professional if you want to go for a laser treatment.
