Getting rid of unwanted facial hair can be both frustrating and sensitive. Many of us have tried everything from plucking with tweezers and shaving to various creams and home lasers, without getting the results we want. So what really works best? Here we break down the differences between home and salon hair removal and explain why salon methods, especially diode laser, make such a big difference.
Hair removal at home - common methods
Removing hair at home today is very easy. Shaving, threading, wax strips or hair removal creams are common choices that in most cases work really fast. However, they also only work for the moment and having to repeat the treatment several times a week is not uncommon. This is especially true on the face, where hairs tend to grow quickly and become visible immediately.
For some, home treatments can also irritate the skin, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to red spots and ingrown hairs. Many people also find that the result is not smooth enough or that there is always some small shadow left.
Salon hair removal - when you want long-lasting results
When you come to the salon for facial (or other body) hair removal, there are basically two options, either waxing or laser. Waxing gives a slightly longer-lasting result than regular shaving, but it is not a permanent solution. In addition, many people find waxing uncomfortable and painful, especially when it comes to sensitive areas where the skin is bare.
That's why we at Estetikcentrum highly recommend diode laser hair removal. Diode laser is an advanced technology that provides a permanent result, which means that the hair is gone forever. Yes, you heard it right! It works by directing the light from the laser at the hair follicles and the heat generated gradually destroys the hair follicles, causing hair growth to gradually decrease and eventually disappear completely.
We tailor your treatment
We are very careful that all treatments are customized to your specific wishes, conditions and needs. When it comes to laser, it is important to adapt to both skin type and hair color to get the best result. The method is both safe and gentle, while many of our customers describe it as completely painless.
A disadvantage is that several treatments are usually required the darker and coarser hair you have, but when you're done - well, then you're really done. No more fixing in front of the mirror every morning, no more quick fixes when you're going out.
Which method is most effective? Estetikcentrum answers the question
If you want a solution that's simple, quick and works in the moment, you can use home treatments. However, do you want to get rid of hair growth for real, without worrying about stubble, irritation and constant maintenance? Then you should choose a salon treatment with diode laser.
At Estetikcentrum you will be met by experienced skin therapists who listen to your needs, adapt the treatment to your particular skin and help you all the way to a result that is both felt and seen. Contact us today and we will book a consultation! With us, you can easily take the first step towards a more carefree everyday life without razors and disturbing hair growth.
