Shaving remains the most popular hair removal method and it’s easy to understand why. Apart from being inexpensive, convenient, and quick, it also works as a mild exfoliator that clears dead skin cells and gives you smoother skin.
Despite all these benefits, shaving has a very notable downside. It has short-lived results, lasting two to three days, or in some cases, just 24 hours. As this method uses a razor or blade to remove hair at a surface level, it doesn’t actually get rid of hairs, but only cuts them, so they are not noticeable.
Other cons of shaving include:
Lasting alternatives to shaving
If you’re still shaving and continuously buying razors, but want to switch to something more permanent and lasting, Cutis Medical Laser Clinics can help. They offer light- and energy-based methods that specifically target the follicles to inhibit future hair growth. Here’s a brief rundown of how they work and achieve permanent hair reduction.
IPL hair reduction – uses a specially tailored light source to disable future hair growth in different areas of the body. Using infrared light, it targets the germ cell of the follicle and zaps the pigment in the follicle bulb. IPL destroys the pigment, which then reduces the amount of hair in the area of concern. Benefits include:
Laser hair reduction – delivers concentrated pulses of laser light to hundreds of follicles in a large area. It also targets the hair’s pigment, which absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This then targets the follicles and inhibits hair growth. The converted heat is only absorbed by the pigment and the follicle, not the skin. Benefits include:
LHE hair reduction – uses light and heat energy (LHE) to permanently remove unwanted hair. It delivers flashes of broad-spectrum light and heat on the treated area, targeting the pigment. This raises the temperature of follicles, which leads to their destruction and impedes hair growth. Benefits include:
SHR/Super Hair Reduction – uses lower pulses of light at a higher frequency. It uses 50% of the light energy to target the pigment while the other 50% focuses on the stem cells responsible for hair growth. It slowly heats the area of concern with repetitive energy application for an effective and virtually pain-free hair reduction treatment. Benefits include:
