Permanent Hair Reduction: What You Need to Know
Laser hair removal is a type of hair removal treatment that is becoming more popular and widely talked about as time goes on – and for good reason – it’s incredibly effective!
But have you heard people say that “laser hair removal is painful” or “it’s too expensive” or “it’s not safe” or even, “it permanently removes body hair”? These are just some of the myths floating around about laser hair removal, and we’re here today to debunk them! Let’s get started.
Myth #1: Laser Hair Removal Is Painful
Okay, okay, we get it, ‘laser hair removal’ doesn’t sound like a walk in the park, but let us tell you – it’s not as bad as you may think. People often describe it as feeling like the snap of a rubber band against their skin, but others say they barely feel anything at all.
Compared to other hair removal methods like waxing or epilating, laser hair removal is often considered less painful. Waxing involves pulling hair out from the root, which can be quite painful, while epilating uses multiple tweezers to pluck hairs simultaneously. In contrast, laser hair removal sessions are relatively quick, and any discomfort is over before you know it.
The level of discomfort depends on a wide range of factors, but the overall consensus seems to be – it can be uncomfortable in some areas, but not unbearable. Regardless, most people would agree it’s less painful than waxing or epilating, and because laser hair removal sessions are faster than either of these other methods, it’ll be over before you know it.
Myth #2: Laser Hair Removal Is Expensive
Yes, the upfront cost might be higher than other hair removal methods, but think of the long-term savings. With laser hair removal, you’ll likely have hair-free skin for years, saving you a ton of money in the long run – those regular waxing appointments and packs of razors add up in no time.

Myth #3: Laser Hair Removal Isn’t Safe
A lot of people are scared to try laser hair removal procedures because they think it’s unsafe. But, here’s the deal – laser hair removal is a safe and well-researched procedure. Side effects of effective laser hair removal are minor and easily managed, but nonetheless, they can occur when treatment is performed incorrectly.
To ensure your safety and achieve the best results, it’s essential to choose a reputable practitioner for your laser hair removal treatments. Research clinics, read reviews, and ask about the qualifications and experience of the technicians. At Shape Studio, our professionals are highly trained and experienced in providing safe and effective treatments.
Myth #4: Laser Hair Removal Permanently Removes Body Hair
Lastly, let’s tackle the very common myth of “laser hair removal permanently removes body hair”. Although this treatment will lead to a significant and lasting reduction in hair growth in the treated area, it is unlikely to achieve complete and permanent hair removal.
Overtime, new hair growth can happen from hormone fluctuations, prescription medicines, or simply because some hair follicles managed to recover after treatment. But this can easily be fixed with a ‘touch up’ treatment every now and then to maintain the results. These touch up treatments are not regular, and are few and far between.
