Explore the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal Over Traditional Methods

For many men and women, the constant upkeep of getting rid of unwanted hair is one of the most cumbersome and inconvenient chores they face each week — or even daily, in some cases. Not only that, but many traditional hair removal methods can damage or irritate the skin, and the cost of ongoing maintenance can add up over time. At The DeRosa Center, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa and our experienced Boston, MA med spa team are thrilled to help patients finally ditch their razors and boost their confidence with advanced laser hair removal for the face and body. If you’re on the fence about laser hair removal, keep reading to discover some of the most exciting benefits of laser hair removal vs. shaving, waxing, and other DIY solutions.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is among the most popular aesthetic treatments in the United States today, used by men and women alike to dramatically reduce or even stop unwanted hair growth on the face and body. At The DeRosa Center, we perform laser hair removal using the advanced GentleMax Pro® laser, which is suitable for almost all skin types and offers long-lasting results. The treatment involves delivering targeted laser energy to the skin’s surface, which effectively damages the hair follicle without harming the skin. By damaging the follicle, hair growth can be significantly reduced, slowed, or even prevented.

Why should I get laser hair removal over waxing and shaving?

There are a number of exciting and even potentially life-changing benefits of laser hair removal when compared to shaving, waxing, plucking, and other at-home hair removal options. Some of the most compelling benefits of targeted unwanted body and facial hair growth with laser hair removal include:

• Reduce the speed, thickness, and density of hair growth
• Stop unwanted hair growth in some cases
• Results can last for years, decades, or even indefinitely
• Can be used almost anywhere on the face and body
• Removes the need for repetitive shaving, waxing, plucking, and hair removal creams
• Reduces expense and time spent on hair removal in the long run
• Leaves skin feeling smoother and softer without stubble, razor burn, and other irritations
• Boosts self-confidence

Whether you are embarrassed by unwanted facial and body hair growth, or you’re simply looking for a way to save valuable time each day, laser hair removal may be an exciting step for you.

Where can laser hair removal be used?

Generally speaking, laser hair removal is considered safe and appropriate in almost any area where a person has unwanted hair growth — though there are a few exceptions, like inside the nose and ears, on the nipple itself, and on tattooed skin. Some of the most popular treatment areas for laser hair removal for men and women include:

• Beard
• Sideburns
• Face
• Chin
• Upper lip
• Chest
• Back
• Legs
• Arms
• Underarms
• Intimate areas
• Buttocks
• Fingers and toes

By reducing unwanted hair growth with laser hair removal, you can achieve silkier skin almost head to toe and a boosted self-confidence that can improve your overall quality of life.
