Beauty comes at a price. Most methods and products can be expensive, not to mention the other price of beauty: pain. When someone mentions laser hair removal, expensive and pain are the most likely things to pop into your head, but then waxing and tweezing aren’t that fun either. One thing people fail to think about when considering laser hair removal is the economical and eco-friendly benefits.
For instance, how many times have you purchased razors this year? Then of course there’s also shaving cream, refill blades, and the amount of water you use in the process. The cost and the waste add up quickly. Now multiply that price by all the years you’ll end up shaving, which could be over 40 years, and sources have estimated a woman can spend close to $10,000 on shaving products in her lifetime!
As far as the waste goes, BIC alone sells over 3.65 billion razors a year, but you only get on average 7.5 shaves from each razor. Think of how many razors you throw out each year. And where do those shavers end up? The plastic waste from all the packaging from the razors, refills, and shaving cream cans sit in landfills for years.
There is the option of just letting it grow, but most women aren’t comfortable with that look. (Remember the time Julia Roberts let her underarm hair grow?) The other option, waxing, may be less wasteful than shaving, but is much more expensive. On average, a bikini wax can range from $30 to $100, and has to be done every 4 to 6 weeks. Laser hair removal is not only eco-friendly, but it also saves time. Paying a lot up front for laser hair treatment may seem daunting, but putting it into perspective shows it is a green choice.
LaserAway is a leader in laser hair removal Scottsdale. In an effort to be even more eco-friendly, LaserAway has created a paper-less patient management system.
You know, my daughter was just mentioning this to me the other day. She’s a bit too young (12) for permanent hair removal, but when her ped says she is old enough, that is the choice she intends to make. I have no problem with this but she definitely needs to be a little older.
Ah how wonderful it would be not to have to shave! I haven’t had it done because of the price, and some friends of mine have had it done and it didn’t work, or took an excessive number of appointments to get it all removed. But then I know others who have found it the most wonderful thing ever. Have you heard anything about the color of skin/ color of hair making a difference in its effectiveness? Thanks for the post!

How awesome it would be to throw out the razors for good! I have heard of this before but really couldn’t splurge on it now, maybe someday!

I can’t tell you how much I hate shaving!! I started laser hair removal several years ago and had to stop in the middle because I got pregnant. I was suppose to go back after giving birth but I decided not too. I would really love to never have to worry about buying razors again.
i also used to shave when i was at my teenager age then i went for elctrolysis once, though it gave me result but it was painful and the result was temporary, then finally i went for IPL hair removal treatment as i wanted the best thing for my skin. It gave the pleasent result and from then i have only used IPL laser machine.
Hello!
Do you have any energy analysis, credible source, or scientific study to prove that Laser Hair Removal is indeed more sustainable than shaving and waxing throughout one’s lifetime? Please let me know as I am hoping to write a blog post about this! Thank you so much.
Best,
