Human beings are not particularly hairy compared to many other mammals. But because we favour a more ‘hairless’ look, unwanted body hair can be embarrassing and, in a worst case scenario, seriously damaging to our self-confidence. However, there are ways of removing unwanted body hair permanently from various parts of the body, thanks to laser hair removal.

The most common area that people have hair removed from is the facial area. Facial hair, especially for women and particularly if they have darker hair, can be embarrassing. Women are increasingly throwing away the tweezers and opting for a more permanent solution to remove hair on the upper lip, the jowls and between the eyebrows. Specialist lasers can remove unsightly stray hairs quickly and easily. And it’s not just women who are opting for this form of hair removal. Men too are going under the laser, removing ear hair, hair on the neck and banishing that dreaded ‘monobrow’ that we as a society find so unattractive. For women, laser hair removal around the eyebrows means perfectly arched brows that never need to feel the pinch of a pair of tweezers again.

Moving down the body, women in particular are not just opting to have hair removal treatment on the face. The underarm area is prone to becoming sensitive to shaving, and no matter how many times you shave or wax, there’s always the stubble and regrowth to deal with. Laser hair removal of underarm hair means no more shaving, irritation or stubble. It can also help you to reduce the possibility of embarrassing odour under the arms. Bacteria that cause that ‘armpit’ odour are found in the follicles and are particularly prevalent when we sweat. The roots of the hairs can eventually become irritated and even infected, causing discomfort and that embarrassing smell. By removing the bacteria’s breeding ground, you can reduce the chances of underarm infections, skin irritation and odour.

Most women go through the pain of leg waxing at least once in their lives. If they don’t wax, then it’s out with the razor every day or hair removal creams to keep their legs looking smooth. Laser hair removal can also tackle this problem, meaning no more shaving in the shower or messy creams. Because of the surface area involved, hair removal on the legs can take several sessions to be effective, but when you consider the amount of time and effort it takes to shave or wax your legs, the end results are certainly worth the expense.

The bikini line is becoming an increasingly popular area for hair removal. Not only does it make a woman feel more confident on the beach, but it also improves personal hygiene and can, according to anecdotal accounts from women, even lead to an improvement in sexual sensation. It can also reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases by keeping the pubic area cleaner.

If you have unwanted hair, there’s a laser hair removal treatment to suit, no matter where that hair is on your body. However, it is essential that you talk to an expert first if you are thinking about laser treatment to remove unwanted body hair. They will be able to assess your skin type and advise you on the best and most effective form of treatment.
