Things to Know Before Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair removal is one of the most implemented and hyped beauty strategy nowadays. But how much do you know about it? Do you know anything beyond the 10-15 minutes of hair removal session of a beautician? Majority of the answers will be a NO.

Here are some lesser known facts about laser hair removal technique. Read it, you will definitely find them interesting:

• Did you know earlier electrolysis was a prominent hair removal method? Yes, it's true! People then also had interest in removing unwanted hairs from their bodies and didn’t care implementing the painful and time consuming process of electrolysis.
• Can be, but not always! Many experts say that, laser hair removal methods are the permanent solutions for smooth facial hairs and pesky rough hair. But it isn't so! These are the recent techniques and are even much efficient than their other counterparts, but are not necessarily the permanent solution. In many cases, it depends on the biological system of the individual also. In some people, it works for a prolonged time period, while in some hair returns back within short period.
•  It smooths your skin! Unlike other hair removal methods, laser hair removal treatment smooths your skin to a large extent as it works on the hairs, not the skin. Other methods like waxing, threading, plucking or even electrolysis directly come in contact with the skin, thus degrade their smoothness.
• These methods are the most effective methods unless and until you have it done from a professional, certified and well trained technician.
• If you want your laser treatment to be a successful one, grow your hair as much as you can. Do not wax or pluck 2-3 days before the waxing, because, in that case laser beam won't find its target. Hair takes few weeks to again re-enter its growing phase.
• They have a twin counterpart, Intense Pulsed Light Systems. These are comparably cheaper than the laser treatment, but prolonged use of these can cause serious skin burns.
• It's quick and less painful. But in case you feel any pain you can use topical anesthetic. But in majority of the cases, cryogenic spray serves the purpose well.
• These are safe than wax. Everyone knows that, but how? In case of laser treatments there is zero chance of inward hair growth which is a major demerit of waxing and threading.
• Who said Laser treatment causes skin cancer? But yes, as discussed in a previous point if you go for a certified and skilled technician there won't be any problem; else laser beams can even mutate your DNA sequence.

Things to know before your first bikini waxing

Are you all set to wax them off? Are you a bit nervous? Yes? Chill! 

If by now, you have made an intense research on internet, your worry is justified. I can understand what you are worrying about. But it’s never like that. Though only 20% women opt for bikini waxing, there isn’t any reason to lag behind. There are certain things to be known before starting for waxing the private areas. If you manage it well, there’s absolutely no need of D.I.Y shaving. 

Long but not longer!

The hair has to be long so that the wax can grab it and pull it out. But don’t let it grow much, so that you need them braided before the task. 

Farther the salon, better it is

Remember it’s going to be a very “different” job done. Your legs akimbo and there would be a person pouring hot wax over your genitalia. Therefore make sure you choose a distant place for the job to be done. Much distant from your original place so that you don’t bump on the salon fellow, each and every time you are on an evening stroll. 

Opt for vulva cups

This is something regarding your health. In order to avoid the intensity of the hot wax in the inner side of the bikini area, you can put on a vulva cap. These are available in different colours and optimal shape. The muscular pull of the vulva can hold this cup in the right way. 

Don’t talk too much over phone

During an appointment, whosoever may be on the other end, do not start for every type of talk. Have a little self-respect. Restrict your phone call to the “type of waxing (French/ Brazilian)” and the area to be waxed off. 

No bargain, please!

If the cost is pinching you, move back. If this is your first time (even doesn’t matter, if it’s nth time also) go for high end salons. Do not settle for a minimal price. You never know with a less budget you will have it done in a “shady” salon or an unmarked van. Before you give yourself nightmares, it’s better to settle for higher prices.

Do not disclose the discomfort

Remember it’s not a matter of 5-10 minutes. You are going to be there for hours. Maintain that calm and composure that you initially had, when you had decided for bikini waxing. 

Chill!

Had it done? Relax. Keep the bikini area dry for some time. Do not rub it. Avoid heavy exercises or running, so that it doesn’t sweat out. Pamper your abused skin for some time.
