Laser Hair Reduction vs. Waxing: Why Brides and Grooms Prefer LHR

Soon becoming a bride or groom in Delhi? When it comes to one's own wedding, facial and body aesthetics, as well as confidence, really matter. Sadly, unwanted or extra facial or body hair can ruin both looks and confidence. And so, it must be rightly managed before the wedding day. One can incorporate a suitable hair reduction option in their pre-wedding regime. This article by our skincare expert, Dr. Niti Gaur, can help you make the right pre-wedding grooming choice. It explains why waxing may not offer the same benefits as Laser Hair Reduction in Gurgaon.

Laser Hair Reduction Vs. Waxing: Which is Better for Wedding Preparation?

Here is a table comparing laser hair reduction and waxing, to help you decide on the right pre-wedding face and body hair reduction option.

	Laser Hair Reduction (LHR)	Waxing
How does it work?	LHR involves the use of medical-grade, modern laser technology that precisely targets the roots of the unwanted hair. The laser’s heat causes damage to the hair follicles that actively grow hair. Thus, causing shedding of hair and preventing hair regrowth.	Waxing involves the use of warm wax that is layered over the unwanted hair. When the wax cools slightly and takes hold of unwanted hair, a strip of paper/cloth is used to quickly rip the hair from its root in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Duration of results	After full recommended sessions of laser hair reduction (typically 6-8 in a 6-8 week interval), there is 80% to 90% permanent reduction in unwanted hair. Any hair that grows is finer or lighter and hardly noticeable.	New hair grows back in 3-4 weeks. To maintain the skin's smoothness and have finer, sparser regrowth of hair, regular waxing appointments are required.
When must it be scheduled for a wedding?	Recommended to start 6 to 9 months before the wedding, so that the skin gets enough time to recover, too, after completion of the full initial series of LHR sessions.	Recommended to start 2-3 months before the wedding (if it's the only choice) or just a few days before the wedding (if considered as a last-minute fix).
Level of Discomfort	Laser hair reduction for men and women, is tolerable by both compared to waxing. When a laser hits the targeted hair roots through the skin, it causes a mild stinging sensation or feels like a rubber band being flicked against the skin. Modern lasers come equipped with cooling technology that further ensures painless sessions.	Quite painful, especially on sensitive areas, like underarms and on the bikini line.
Impact on skin	Improves skin health and beauty over time by getting rid of bumps, ingrown hair, and irritation caused by the traditional method of hair reduction. There is no harm caused to the skin surrounding the targeted hair.	Causes inflammation, redness, skin discoloration, ingrown hair, and irritation, especially in sensitive areas
Convenience	Need only occasional touch-ups after a full cycle of sessions. Thus, saves time in the long run, and is a perfect lunchtime option for busy people. Also, no need to grow hair between appointments.	Requires regular salon visits every few weeks. Thus, time is taken in the long run. Also, unwanted hair needs to be grown to a certain length every time for an effective waxing session.
Cost	Requires a high initial investment, but the overall Laser Hair Reduction cost in Gurgaon is cheaper than waxing.	Every appointment is not very expensive. However, the overall cost with repeated treatments for maintenance makes it a costly option.
