Tips for Permanent Hair Removal
1. Permanent Hair Removal Instead of Social Contacts and Indulgences
Surveys have shown that both women and men would give up certain things for a hair-free period of at least six months. For example, 38% of women would be willing to stop consuming alcohol. 21% of men stated in surveys that they would forgo going to parties for a year if they could enjoy a hair-free period.
2. Time Savings for Men and Women
Women spend about 30 minutes a week removing hair from their bodies, while men spend 15 minutes. This means that two hours a month are reserved for hair removal for women. In a year, this amounts to 24 hours. A whole day is lost when hair is removed by shaving. Permanent hair removal brings time savings. After treatment with the SWT method, you no longer need to worry about time slots for your shaving. Spend the saved 24 hours doing things you enjoy instead.
3. Permanent Hair Removal Doesn't Have to Be Painful
Many people associate permanent hair removal with sugaring or waxing. In fact, neither method offers permanent hair removal, let alone gentle treatment. When using our SWT method, the skin is gently treated. The method is almost painless, and you can relax during the process.
4. Electro-Epilation Is Not Permanent Hair Removal
Simply use the device at home and be hair-free forever afterwards? Sounds nice, but it’s not true. The electro-epilator is often marketed as a miracle cure that removes your hair including the roots. But: This is false. If you use such an epilator or have your hair removed through waxing or sugaring, regular repetition is necessary. Your skin will not remain hair-free forever afterwards. Periods of four to 12 months are already described as permanent hair removal.
Your body hair grows in a cycle between four months to a year. If the treatment interrupts hair growth for this cycle, the treatment provider may already refer to it as permanent hair removal.
5. Permanent Hair Removal Doesn't Have to Irritate the Skin
Redness, formation of pustules, and inflamed areas are considered disadvantages of permanent hair removal. However, with the right method, this doesn’t happen. The SWT method we use is gentle and kind to the skin. No irritations or redness occur during hair removal. This is one of the reasons why the method can also be used very well for removing facial hair. Especially after shaving or even after epilating, the skin is highly irritated. We don’t even want to start about waxing. Your skin is heavily stressed. Depending on how sensitive you are, redness, pimples, and even inflammation can develop. It’s absolutely necessary to care for the skin afterwards. However, good care products are expensive. Here too, compatibility often needs to be considered. With permanent hair removal at our facility, the skin is gently treated. Afterwards, you don’t have to worry about irritated skin. Moreover, you are permanently hair-free after the treatment. The constant irritation of the skin due to frequent shaving is eliminated.
6. Permanent Hair Removal Is Not More Expensive Than Traditional Shaving
Perhaps you’re considering permanent hair removal, but you’re still a bit skeptical about the costs. At first glance, it might seem that shaving is cheaper. However, when looking to the future, it quickly becomes apparent that permanent hair removal can actually save money. A particularly important fact is that this is a one-time investment. While you may pay more upfront, you’ll then be permanently free of hair. Calculate how much shaving costs you in a year. If you use a good razor and the appropriate aftercare products, you’re looking at an average of around 350 euros annually. Over 10 years, that adds up to 3,600 euros. Permanent hair removal is available, depending on the desired body area, starting from a three-digit amount. Learn more about this topic in our blog post “How much does hair removal cost?”
7. The sessions require only a little time
Often there’s concern that appointments for permanent hair removal don’t fit into everyday life because they take too long. This is a misconception. The session duration depends on the selected body area and preparation. For effective treatment, it’s important that you go to permanent hair removal shaved. This allows the technology to optimally reach the hair roots. Let’s consider the treatment of your armpits. Shaving your armpits takes an average of 5 minutes in the shower. For nice smooth armpits, you normally shave every two to three days. That’s 15 minutes of effort per week, even a full hour per month. With permanent hair removal in this area, you have a session duration of about 30 minutes per appointment. Once the treatment is completed, no more time investment is necessary.
8. Success depends on the expert
Permanent hair removal is a treatment using the IPL method. The effectiveness and also the tolerance depend strongly on the devices used and the specialists. Therefore, it’s all the more important to find the right specialist. We use the Ellipse Sirius device. This is a medical-aesthetic product certified according to EEC Medical Device regulations. In addition, our staff is trained and thus specialized in the field of permanent hair removal.
9. Results show quickly
Multiple sessions are necessary for permanent hair removal. How many are needed depends on various factors. But the fact is that initial results show very quickly. The hair becomes noticeably less after the first few sessions.
10. Permanent hair removal is also possible for pathological hair growth
There are some conditions that can cause particularly strong hair growth on the body. Hirsutism or hypertrichosis are among the issues. Hirsutism is a predisposition in women who have very strong body hair growth. Besides genetic factors, hormonal causes can also be present. Treatment by a doctor should be carried out. In combination with permanent hair removal, hair growth can be brought under control. This also applies to hypertrichosis. This is often recommended by doctors as well.
Interesting: Permanent hair removal can contribute to relief in skin diseases. For example, psoriasis is further promoted by shaving, as new foci can form here, which are promoted by mechanical hair removal. With the help of permanent hair removal, this is prevented.
