Waxing or laser hair removal – advantages and disadvantages
Blog BackListen to the article
Waxing and laser hair removal are two different methods of hair removal.Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Here is a comparison of the two methods:
Advantages of wax depilation:
- Speed - waxing is a relatively quick process and allows you to remove a lot of hair in one treatment. For instance, brazilian bikini depilation for ladies takes between 20 mins and 30 mins and whole legs a maximum of 30 mins.
- Long recovery period - after waxing procedure hair grows back slowly as not only hair roots are removed, but also the hair itself is weaker
- Soft waxing is a non-invasive treatment, there are few contraindications
Drawbacks of waxing:
- Pain - waxing can be painful, especially for those with sensitive skin, as the hair is removed with the roots. Nevertheless, the great effects of the treatment compensates for the temporary sensations 🙂
- Skin irritation - some experience skin irritation, redness or even may observe allergic reactions to the ingredients in the wax. At Easy Waxing we use a gentle chamomile wax. In addition, for those with allergies, we recommend depilation with our proprietary sugar paste that is based on natural ingredients.
- The treatment has to be repeated up to 3 weeks to 5 weeks depending on the rate of hair growth (unfortunately this is a highly individual matter. Some people's hair grows back very quickly, while others can enjoy smooth skin for 5 or 6 weeks).
Laser hair removal, advantages:
- Long-lasting results - laser hair removal offers long-lasting results as it targets the hair roots, which can lead to permanent inhibition of hair growth.
- Less pain compared to waxing - compared to waxing, laser hair removal is often less painful, although the level of pain is dependent on individual tolerance.
- Ability to remove hair from larger areas - laser hair removal is more effective at removing hair from larger areas of the body.
Laser depilation, disadvantages:
- Cost - laser hair removal is usually a more expensive option than waxing, especially if several sessions are required. At Easy Waxing we have prepared special offers on laser treatments such as for the brazilian bikini for ladies. We encourage you to take a look at our offer: https://easywaxing.pl/en/special-offers/
- Not suitable for all skin and hair types - laser hair removal may be less effective on light hair or dark skin, as the laser works best on contrasting colors.
The final choice between waxing and laser hair removal depends on individual preference, budget, pain tolerance and a person's skin and hair type. It is also worth consulting a professional before making a decision.
