Laser treatments are a gift from science. They can give you clear skin and can even help you shed the extra pounds. Here we break down three laser treatments every 20-something ought to invest in.
For Hair
Imagine never having to endure the pains of hot waxing ever again—sounds like a dream, right? Laser hair removal treatments can be worth the investment especially if you’re after a semi-permanently hairless bikini line, underarms, and legs. But before you blow your hard earned money, it’s good to know the pros and cons of the procedure. For starters, it’s best to have it done during the colder months when you’re less likely to hit the beach and get exposed to direct sun light. Also, areas of your body respond differently to laser hair removal because of the combination of the thickness of both hair and skin. Areas with thinner skin and thicker hair are more likely to show better results compared to areas with thin skin and thick hair. It requires a lot of patience since it requires three or more treatments spaced at five to eight weeks apart.
