Debunking 5 Myths About Laser Hair Removal

Detroit’s laser hair removal experts dispel myths about ditching the razor and going hair-free for good!

    Unwanted hair doesn’t care about skin tone, age, or gender. It grows and grows, but that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck with it forever!

    Most of us try, in vain, to maintain smooth, hair-free skin through outdated hair removal methods. We feel doomed to go through an endless cycle of shaving and waxing for the rest of our hair-growing lives. There’s gotta be a better way to get rid of unwanted hair for good, right?

    We’ve all heard of laser hair removal, but there’s a lot of misinformation out there about it. That’s where the experts at the nation’s number one laser hair removal provider and Detroit’s laser hair removal experts, Milan Laser Hair Removal come in. They’re busting myths and helping you decide if ditching the razor for the laser is right for you!

    1.) Myth: “Laser hair removal is only safe for certain skin tones.”

    Fact: When laser hair removal became FDA-cleared in the ‘90s, it was only approved for fair skin and dark hair combinations. Today, new lasers and advanced technology have made laser hair removal safe for all skin tones.

    “The Candela GentleMax Pro laser used at Milan Laser gives clients the safest laser hair removal treatments,” says Dr. Shikhar Saxena, co-founder and CEO of Milan Laser. “It includes two technologies: the Nd: YAG laser for darker skin tones and the Alexandrite laser for lighter skin tones. This allows providers like Milan Laser to create customized treatment plans for clients’ skin tones and hair colors.”

    2.) Myth: “Results from laser hair removal are temporary.”

    Fact: Each laser hair removal treatment gives permanent results when performed correctly. During each treatment, a laser pulse is delivered directly to the hair follicle. The follicle is heated and destroyed and can never grow again. But our bodies are unpredictable, and new hair follicles can become active. Hormone changes, age, genetics, and more can cause new hair to grow, so touch-ups are sometimes needed.

    Be wary of med spas offering laser hair removal packages with only six to 9 sessions, even if they’re cheaper. The average Milan Laser client needs about seven to 10 treatments to be 95%+ hair-free. You’ll likely need to pay for touch-ups down the road or purchase additional packages to see desired results, so take advantage of companies offering unlimited laser hair removal packages.

    3.) Myth: “Laser hair removal is too expensive.”

    Fact: A lifetime of waxing and shaving is a bottomless-pit expense. They only give temporary results that will cost thousands of dollars over a lifetime to maintain. The average person who shaves their legs and underarms will spend over $10,000 over a lifetime on razors, shaving cream, exfoliants, and more. If you get your legs and bikini area waxed, you’ll spend over $49,000 on salon appointments over a lifetime.

    On the flip side: laser hair removal is actually cost-effective; it’s an investment rather than an expense. When comparing the cost of laser hair removal, you see time and money saved. And to make hair-free skin and confidence even more attainable for all, Milan Laser offers specials and affordable laser hair removal payment plans to fit anyone’s budget.

    4.) Myth: “Laser hair removal is painful.”

    Fact: Laser hair removal is significantly less painful than waxing. Many clients say it stings like a rubber band snap, but only for a millisecond, the time it takes for the laser to zap the targeted hair. The Candela GentleMax Pro used at Milan Laser works alongside cooling technologies to reduce potential discomfort, providing clients with the most comfortable laser hair removal treatments. Outdated and less sophisticated laser hair removal providers have numbing creams or messy gels.

    5.) Myth: “Laser hair removal is inconvenient compared to waxing and shaving.”

    Fact: Shaving is easy, quick, and done from home. But the second you shave, the hair is already growing back. Waxing is done quickly in a salon, and it’s easy to book appointments, but you’re still only seeing results for a few weeks. Laser hair removal treatments are quick and safe, and your results are permanent. You can get treated in the evenings, on weekends, or even over your lunch break with no downtime—you’re in and out and can go on with your day!
