Even though there are endless choices these days in terms of hair removal units (razors, tweezers, epilators, electrolysis, laser hair removers, creams and more) and procedures (shaving, plucking, waxing etc) , people tend to go for products that provide long lasting results and least painful experience.

Most of the products and procedures listed above provide temporary solutions. If you are looking at getting long lasting results you can either opt for waxing or laser hair treatments.

Laser hair removal is simply the most efficient way to remove unwanted hair on a permanent basis that is currently available. This treatment method involves using laser pulses with a specific level of light energy that can be absorbed only by the melanin surrounding the hair bulb. Melanin (skin pigment) in the hair is the logical target for this laser light and is most abundant in the hair bulb and not the epidermis of the skin. The resulting spike in temperature weakens the hair bulb and effectively destroys the growth cells.

In order for the laser to work effectively one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Or in other words, the laser works best on individuals with dark hair and light skin.  The best thing about laser hair treatment is it’s relatively painless (compared to waxing, as you will only feel slight zap when the hair follicle is being treated), and it provides near permanent hair removal. Near permanent as there is possibility that some hair may grow back eventually although it will always be less hairs the more session you have and you can shave between treatments and don’t have to wait for regrowth.

But the biggest problem with laser treatment as a method of hair removal is possibly the cost. If you visit salon/laser treatment centres, it can cost anywhere from $500 per treatment session depending on the size of the area that is being treated and it generally takes more than 4 sessions to see visible results. And since 4-6 sessions are required at 2-3 week intervals the results may not be instantaneous.

On the other hand, using hot wax to remove hair is significantly cheaper that laser treatments and provides quicker results, but pouring hot wax over one’s body and ripping the hair out by its root is not for people who are intolerant to pain and whose skin tend to react badly to hot waxing.

Over all, whether it’d be laser hair removal or waxing, it takes a certain amount of treatments. Laser hair removal takes fewer treatments (compared to waxing) until you start to notice the desired results. While on the other hand, waxing may take longer until all the hair becomes finer but it is a lot cheaper by the session than laser.

For this reason we think the Epila laser hair removal unit will be perfect choice for people who are looking for affordable near permanent hair removal solutions. The Epila laser hair remover works the same way as salon treatments and provides near permanent hair reduction. The best thing about the Epila is that you own it so you can use it again and again whenever you need in the comfort and privacy of your own home savings thousands on salon treatments.
