Many of us have grown tired of itchy stubble as our hair grows out. Despite this, we continue to shave and look for ways to get rid of unwanted hair growth. When it comes to hair removal, there are many different methods to choose from and each method has its advantages depending on the result you want. At Estetikcentrum in Malmö you will find smart and modern treatments that suit your skin type and are performed by trained and safe staff. Here we go through the most common methods and what you should consider when choosing which one is best for you.

Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular and effective methods on the market today and it's not hard to see why. Not only is the treatment fast and long-lasting, but it is also very gentle on the skin. Using a very bright light, we can target the hair follicles directly. When the light comes into contact with the dark strands, it creates heat which then destroys the hair follicle. At Estetikcentrum , we can perform hair removal using diode laser, which is suitable for those with both dark and light skin tones.

Benefits and advantages

• Long-lasting results
• Gentle on the skin
• Fast and efficient method
• Suitable for all skin types
• Requires less maintenance

Hair removal with waxing

Waxing is a common method suitable for those who want a quick fix and are prepared to maintain to keep the results. Waxing removes the hair from the root, so it won't grow back for a couple of weeks. It works well on areas such as legs, arms and bikini lines. However, many people find the method painful, and redness and irritation of the skin are not uncommon. In addition, unlike laser, waxing is a temporary solution that requires repeated treatments to keep the skin hair-free. For best results, one treatment every 3-4 weeks is recommended.

Shaving - a simple but short-term solution

Shaving is perhaps the fastest, most common and easiest way to get rid of hair, but it rarely gives long-lasting results. Because shaving only cuts the hair at the skin's surface, it grows back quickly and you may need to shave several times a week to keep your skin smooth. As with waxing, it is also common for shaving to cause irritation or ingrown hairs, which is something to consider if you have sensitive skin.

Summary

There are many different methods of hair removal and what is best for you depends on your needs, pain tolerance and the results you want. If you are looking for a method that gives a lasting result and reduces the need for repeated treatments, we recommend diode laser hair removal.
