The full breakdown on why laser beats a lifetime of shaving.
Shaving only works at the surface. The razor cuts hair off at skin level, but the follicle underneath is completely untouched and still in its growth cycle, so the hair is back within a day or two. The blunt cut edge causes stubble, and dragging a blade across skin drives razor burn and ingrown hairs.
Laser works differently. It emits a wavelength of light that’s attracted to the pigment in the hair, travels down to the follicle, and converts to heat that disrupts the follicle’s ability to grow new hair. You’re treating the structure that grows the hair, not just cutting the hair itself.
Here’s the part almost no one explains: your hair grows in phases, and laser only works on hair in its active growth phase. Only a portion of your hair is in that phase at any given time, which is exactly why it takes a series of sessions spaced weeks apart to catch it all.
Because of that, a full series naturally spans several months. If you want to be done by summer or before a big event, you have to start well before then. Start now and you’re finished before you need to be.
Full results take a complete series, and everyone’s skin and hair respond differently, so results vary from person to person. A consult lets us set realistic expectations for your skin and hair type before you begin.
