Shaving is a simple method to remove unwanted body hair but it can be painful and must be repeated several times a week. Plucking is equally painful and dreadfully time consuming. Waxing lasts longer than shaving but can be just as painful and costs much more.

With these very evident problems, laser hair removal starts to sound like the only effective permanent hair removal method. Consider the fact that Chicago laser hair removal is fast, relatively inexpensive, and is permanent. There is no excruciating pain with laser hair removal either. Most people only describe mild discomfort.

Painful in-grown hairs and cuts will no longer be an issue. You won’t have to worry about the few hairs you may miss when plucking either. You will, however, have more time to devote to refining your sleek, attractive look.

Some people describe mild discomfort during laser hair removal. It is often described as a tingling or like a rubber band snapping onto their skin. This discomfort can be minimized with the cooling device. For those with very sensitive skin, a mild anesthetic may be used as well.

Because hair follicles grow at different rates and times, the treatment must be repeated several times to destroy them all. After several sessions, all of the hair follicles will be destroyed and your skin will never have a hair sprout again.

When it is time for your treatment your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried. Sun exposure must be limited for two to four weeks prior to treatment. This includes tanning and tanning lotions.

After your appointment you should apply a cool compress to the treated area. Any redness or swelling should dissipate within a few hours. Also, be gentle when cleansing the treated areas. For several days after, be sure to reduce sun exposure and wear sunscreen.

Always consult with a professional medical practitioner before undergoing any medical procedure.
