Overcome the Downfalls of Razors with Laser Hair Removal in Toronto

Many of us take on the regular self-care ritual of hair removal, which can often be tedious and time-consuming. Various methods, such as shaving, waxing, and other techniques, are not always the best for our skin. Many turn to razors because they are accessible, affordable, and pain-free, for the most part. That said, razors have downfalls, primarily if they are not correctly used. As a medical spa in Toronto, we provide leading laser hair removal services that help you look and feel your best. 

At NU Youth Medispa, we understand the struggle of constantly maintaining your appearance. Here to help, we provide services like laser hair removal in Toronto, so you no longer have tsso worry. Laser hair removal progressively reduces the growth of hair follicles, resulting in finer and lighter-colored hairs that are less prominent.

To gain further insight into the downfall of razors and how to overcome it with laser hair removal, read on.

Constant Razor Replacement

After only one or two uses, razors become dull and do not perform as well as when you first bought them. This is why switching them out every so often is normal to get the best results. However, the price of each new razor can accumulate, putting a dent in your bank account. Some may opt for electric razors, but those still cost a pretty penny. Opt for laser hair removal in Toronto, where clients come in for six to eight sessions (in 4-8 week intervals) and can choose to come in for touch-ups each year. With leading laser hair removal machines, the follicle roots are targeted to stunt or minimize growth. 

Razor Burn & Ingrown Hairs

Razor burn and ingrown hairs are prevalent symptoms that come with shaving.

Even when most careful, these still occur. Razor burn can be caused by the following: 

• Dry shaving (shaving without water, soap, or shaving cream)
• Shaving too fast
• Shaving with a dull razor
• Shaving in the opposite direction that the hair grows
• Sensitive skin

This irritation typically appears a few minutes after shaving, lasting hours to days.  Ingrown hairs, on the other hand, are strands of hair that grow into the skin after shaving, waxing, and tweezing. These hairs can cause itchiness and sometimes pain and can also be referred to as razor bumps. As shaving only minimizes the sight of hair strands, they don’t remove hair follicles. Therefore, when your hair grows back, it can curl and enter the skin. 

With laser hair removal, the whole follicle is targeted, eliminating the problem from the root. With minimal side effects after each procedure, switch today for healthier-looking skin. 

Limit Nicks & Cuts

Working with blades and sharp objects always comes with the danger of cuts and breaking skin. Razors work in a way that you must move them in a specific way where you cut the hair but not the skin. Careless shaving typically causes these wounds. Shaving requires undivided attention to prevent these injuries, which not everyone has time for. When in a rush, you don’t have time to go through the whole shaving process; people usually resort to a dry shave, which is not recommended. Laser hair removal at NU Youth Medispa leaves you nick-free with long-lasting results.

Skin Irritation & Discomfort

If you experience discomfort after shaving, it’s probably because you are doing something wrong. When shaving with a razor, your hair follicle can twist and redirect, in which case it causes ingrown hairs. This discomfort can cause itchiness and redness. Certain areas of the body are more sensitive, causing frequent irritation. For shaven areas that are usually under clothing, the friction from the fabric can also cause irritation or make it worse. Scented soaps and other products used prior to shaving can also cause itchiness or dry out the skin. Although laser hair removal can cause some redness and swelling, these symptoms should subside within a few hours.
