8 Benefits of Laser Hair Removal that Aren’t Talked About Enough

Hair Removal

Most people relish the feeling of freshly smooth skin. But it never seems to last long enough. Whether you choose to shave, tweeze, wax, or use chemical depilatory creams, it’s only a matter of time before pesky body hair begins popping up again. 

That’s why laser hair removal has emerged as a popular technique for the long-term management of body hair. 

At Franklin Skin and Laser, we are proud to provide this service for men and women in Nashville, Brentwood, and Franklin, TN, who want to remove unwanted body hair for good. 

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by using a targeted form of light energy to damage and deactivate the follicles responsible for hair growth. 

During treatment, the laser hair removal device emits pulses of light that travel down the hair shaft into the bulb at the base of the hair follicle. There, the pigment located in the bulb quickly absorbs the burst of energy. 

This large dose of energy vaporizes any hair in the follicle and damages the follicle itself. Once a hair follicle becomes too damaged, it becomes inactive and unable to regrow hair, leading to a long-term reduction in hair growth. 

8 Impressive Benefits of Laser Hair Removal 

Everybody knows that a laser hair removal treatment plan will remove unwanted body hair and minimize regrowth. But there are several other benefits of laser hair removal that don’t get nearly enough praise. 

1. Laser Hair Removal Can Be Used Anywhere 

Laser hair removal is virtually limitless in its applications. This means you can use it exactly where you need it, including your:

  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Upper lip 
  • Armpits
  • Back
  • Chest 
  • Shoulders 
  • Arms
  • Thighs
  • Calves
  • Stomach 
  • Buttocks
  • Bikini area 

Everybody has a different look they want to maintain. For men, that may be a smooth chest and back with hairy legs. Many women want to target hair on their upper lips or calves. No matter what look you’re going for, we can help you get there with a personalized treatment plan. 

2. Prevents Painful Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hairs 

Razor bumps and ingrown hairs are the banes of many people’s shaving routines. These uncomfortable conditions occur when coarse body hair begins to regrow and gets trapped under the surface of your skin. 

If you are prone to razor burns and ingrown hairs, laser hair removal can help you find relief from these painful bumps. This process eliminates ingrown hairs by dealing with hair at the root and preventing regrowth. 

Any regrowth that does occur is more likely to be very fine and nonirritating.  

3. Photorejuvenation Improves the Appearance of Your Skin

Laser hair removal doubles as a photorejuvenation treatment that improves the overall appearance of your skin. All the light energy directly under your skin stimulates cellular regeneration to address several visible signs of aging and other common cosmetic concerns, such as:

  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Enlarged pores 
  • Redness or rosacea 
  • Uneven skin tone 

By reducing many of these blemishes, laser hair removal can help you achieve smoother, more even, and younger-looking skin.  

4. Prevents Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis pilaris is a buildup of keratin that clogs the openings of hair follicles, leading to patches of rough or bumpy skin that resemble acne. Although this condition is harmless, most people prefer the way their skin looks without it. Luckily, laser hair removal can remove the buildup of keratin to help soothe and smooth your skin.  

5. Minimizes the Chance of Folliculitis 

Folliculitis occurs when a hair follicle becomes infected. The result is a painful and inflamed follicle that resembles a pimple. Frequent shaving increases the risk of folliculitis since it damages your skin and leaves it vulnerable to potentially harmful bacteria. But laser hair removal minimizes the risk of folliculitis. 

6. Reduces Body Odor

A significant amount of body odor is caused by bacteria that build up on your body hair. By eliminating unwanted body hair, laser hair removal gets rid of these bacteria and can help reduce body odor. 

7. Provides a Low-Maintenance Solution to Unwanted Body Hair 

Laser hair removal requires very little effort on your end; we do all the hard work for you. All you have to do is follow your treatment plan and come in for your scheduled appointments every four to six weeks. 

8. Treatment Is Appropriate for Most Adults 

Many cosmetic treatments are exclusionary in who they can treat. But we are proud to provide laser hair removal for adults of all ages and skin tones. 

There is no right or wrong age to seek out laser hair removal. However, it’s important to note that since the laser we use is attracted to pigment, this treatment might not be suitable for individuals with gray or very light hair. 

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Take? 

Each treatment session will take between 15 minutes and one hour to complete. The length of each session will depend on the size and number of areas being treated. 

Most people require two to six treatment sessions to fully realize their desired results.

I’ve always had a wonderful experience every visit! It’s been over a year since I’ve been coming for all my appointments and everyone is always so pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend Franklin skin & laser for all of your needs/wants. They have the best staff and the location is always so sanitary.

Recently I had a wonderful experience with my first visit to Franklin Skin and Laser. My appointment was for a second opinion for a cyst which needed to be removed. Dr. B quickly realized I was in an acute situation, and the process of removal needed to be started immediately. Due to incorrect guidance from another doctor office, I was in a potentially dangerous situation. Dr. B explained to me the process, making sure I understood the procedure. He made sure all my questions were answered, and he helped ease all my concerns as he carefully explained the entire process from start to finish. I felt totally comfortable with his expertise. Marie assisted Dr. B, and she was so sweet to me through the procedure. I have worked with cosmetic surgeons in the past, and can honestly say Dr. B is a rare find. He truly cares about his patients, and it shows in his work and also in his interaction with patients. He was thorough and meticulous with my entire procedure. I am so thankful to find him. His staff is awesome, and like Dr. B they genuinely care. I left knowing how to reach the doctor after hours, if needed. I would highly recommend Dr. B, and plan to talk with him about another procedure once completed with this one.
