Hair Removal Methods – Compare Longevity of Hair Growth
Shaving is a common daily ritual for many people, but it may come with some unwelcome side effects. Skin darkening, or hyperpigmentation, is a common consequence of shaving that can be unsightly.

Method 1: Shaving

Shaving is a quick and affordable hair removal method that many of our customers at Wellaholic are familiar with. It involves using a razor to cut the hair at the surface of the skin. While it’s a convenient option, there are a few downsides to keep in mind. Shaving doesn’t remove hair from the root, so regrowth can happen quickly, sometimes within a day or two. This means you may need to shave frequently to maintain smooth skin. Shaving can also cause skin irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs, especially if you have sensitive skin or are using a dull razor.

To get the best results from shaving, we recommend using a sharp, clean razor and a shaving cream or gel to lubricate the skin. Shave in the direction of hair growth to minimize irritation, and rinse the razor often to avoid clogging. After shaving, apply a moisturizer to soothe the skin and prevent dryness. If you experience frequent irritation or ingrown hairs, consider trying a different hair removal method, such as waxing or laser hair removal, which we offer at Wellaholic.

In my experience working with customers at Wellaholic and previously at Laser Clinics Australia, I’ve seen that while shaving is a go-to method for many, it’s not always the most effective or long-lasting solution. If you’re looking for smoother, hair-free skin with less maintenance, it might be worth exploring other options. Our team at Wellaholic is always happy to discuss the different hair removal treatments we offer and help you find the best one for your needs and lifestyle.

Waxing involves the use of a warm wax that is applied to the skin. The wax is then removed, taking the hair with it

Method 2: Waxing

Waxing is a popular hair removal method we offer at Wellaholic. It involves applying warm wax to the skin and then removing it along with the hair. Waxing can remove hair from the root, leaving the skin smooth for several weeks. We use high-quality wax that is gentle on the skin and effective at removing even short and fine hair.

One of the benefits of waxing is that it can be done on various parts of the body, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and face. At Wellaholic, our skilled aestheticians are trained to provide safe and comfortable waxing services. We also offer post-waxing care advice to help customers maintain smooth, hair-free skin and minimize the risk of ingrown hairs or irritation.

While waxing can be slightly uncomfortable, many customers at Wellaholic find it more bearable than other hair removal methods. Over time, regular waxing can lead to finer and sparser hair growth, making maintenance easier. If you’re considering waxing, we recommend discussing your needs and concerns with our friendly aestheticians to determine if it’s the right choice for you.

IPL treatments work by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle. The heat from the laser destroys the follicle, which prevents the hair from growing backIPL treatments work by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle.

Method 3: IPL Hair Removal

IPL hair removal is a popular treatment at Wellaholic. We use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to target hair follicles and prevent regrowth. The light energy heats up the follicles and puts them into a dormant state. With repeated sessions, you can achieve long-lasting hair reduction.

At Wellaholic, we recommend a minimum of 12 sessions to see the best results. The number of sessions needed varies based on factors like hair color, thickness, and growth cycle. Our experienced therapists will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan. We space sessions 28 to 30 days apart to match your hair growth cycle for optimal outcomes.

IPL is a safe and effective hair removal method for most skin types. We use advanced IPL machines with built-in cooling systems for maximum comfort. You may feel a warm sensation during treatment, but it’s generally well-tolerated. After each session, you’ll notice less hair regrowth. With commitment to the full treatment plan, you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin. Book a consultation with us to learn more about achieving your hair removal goals with IPL.

SHR can cover larger areas of the body more quickly than other hair removal methods, making it a convenient option

Method 4: SHR Hair Removal

If you have tanned skin or a reduced pain tolerance, you may still fear regarding trying IPL hair elimination. Worry not, as there is a comparable option that might deliver even far better results! Like IPL, SHR is a type of semi-permanent laser hair removal that uses focused light to damage hair follicles.

SHR’s Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) In-Motion laser hair removal technology is a breakthrough in customer comfort and effectiveness of treatments. SHR or Super Hair Removal technology heats the skin gently through the melanin and the stem cells with low energy but high frequency. SHR uses only 50% of the energy for permanent hair removal. The remaining 50% is absorbed into the stem cells responsible for hair production.

SHR or Super Hair Removal technology is a newer technology as compared to IPL. Developed by Alma Lasers, SHR combines 755nm, 808nm and 1064nm laser wavelengths to target all skin types. In addition, simultaneous contact cooling prevents burns and allows for a more comfortable treatment. This is ideal for skin and hair of all types and causes minimal irritation to the skin. Wellaholic’s SHR Prestige plan allows you hair reduction treatments on all body parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

FAQ 1: What is SHR hair removal?

SHR (Super Hair Removal) is a popular hair removal method that uses advanced technology to provide quick and painless results. Suitable for all skin types, SHR hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, making it an ideal solution for those seeking a convenient and comfortable hair removal experience.

FAQ 2: How long does waxing last?

Waxing is a popular hair removal method that removes hair from the root, providing weeks of smooth, hairless skin. The duration of waxing results varies depending on individual hair growth, but typically lasts between 3-6 weeks. Regular waxing appointments can help maintain the desired level of hair removal.

FAQ 3: Is shaving a good option for hair removal?

Shaving is a convenient and accessible method for at-home hair removal, providing quick results. However, shaving only removes hair at the surface, resulting in faster regrowth. For those seeking longer-lasting results, alternative hair removal methods like SHR, waxing, or IPL may be more suitable.

FAQ 4: What is IPL hair removal?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal is a precision technology targeting specific areas with longer-lasting results than shaving. IPL hair removal is particularly effective for sensitive areas, providing a gentle yet efficient solution for hair reduction. With regular treatments, IPL can lead to permanent hair reduction over time.

FAQ 5: Can SHR treatments lead to permanent hair reduction?

Yes, regular SHR treatments can lead to permanent hair reduction over time. SHR technology targets the hair follicle, gradually reducing hair growth with each treatment. With a series of sessions, SHR can provide long-term hair reduction, making it an attractive option for those seeking a more permanent solution.
