The cost of laser hair removal compared to waxing
During these credit crunch times, spending £945 on a beauty treatment may seem hard to justify. However, at Cynosure we’ve done the maths for you – by committing to laser hair removal you could be saving yourself at least £2900.
Looking at an average woman who has her legs waxed every 6 weeks for say 30 years means she will visit her salon some 260 times. Using a conservative figure of £15 for a half-leg treatment, she will end up spending a whopping £3900 – and that’s not allowing for inflation! However, with Cynosure’s Elite hair removal treatment, a six weeks course requires a one-off cost of £945. What’s more, she will also save time, travel, parking and hassle every six weeks going for treatment.
Laser hair treatment is a safe, long-term solution to unwanted or excess hair for men and women, it is suitable for most areas of the face and body and a course of Cynosure’s Elite treatments will leave your skin visibly clear of hair, soft and smooth.
The Cynosure Elite’s unique dual wavelength system offers multiple laser applications that help to ensure maximum results. Therapists can switch between wavelengths during single hair removal procedures allowing the selection of the most appropriate laser for specific hair or skin types. Multiple procedures can also be performed on a client in one visit, therefore treatments are administered in significantly less time than with a single-wavelength system. This allows for greater results within a shorter period of time.
How does Elite laser hair removal work? A laser beam is focused on the hair follicles beneath the skin surface to disable the follicle quickly and safely, and stop the hair from growing.
Will Elite laser hair treatments hurt? No. Laser hair removal treatment won’t hurt and it won’t damage surrounding skin. It’s suitable even if you have sensitive skin.
How many Elite laser hair treatments will I need? You will need a course of laser treatments depending on your skin and hair type. An expert will advise you as to how may treatments are appropriate.
How do I know my skin won’t react to the laser? Every client requires a patch test and this will test the skin for any sensitivities and also ensure the right laser and setting is used for your skin and hair type.
What are the most popular areas that people want treated? The most popular areas for women are the face, underarms and bikini line but once clients experience the results they tend to get other problem areas such as legs and arms done. For men the most popular areas are backs, shoulders and chests.
Will I get any side effects? The skin may be a little red and swollen around some of the treated hair but this will usually settle within 24 hours of the treatment.
