Thinking about trying a Diode laser device but not sure yet? We debunk some myths about Diode laser hair removal devices
You’ve surely heard them more than once. Those false myths about laser hair removal that your clients repeat again and again but that you know aren’t really true.
Today we want to help you by gathering the 5 most common myths about laser hair removal so you can share it with your clients and answer all their questions.
1) Can’t the client shave between sessions?
Although it’s important that the client doesn’t remove hair with any method that pulls it out from the root (tweezers, wax…), there’s no problem with shaving with a razor between sessions.
2) Is laser hair removal a very expensive treatment?
You just have to help them see that, if they think about the results, the investment is much lower than they imagine. Plus, what about the time savings and the convenience of never having to worry about hair removal again?
And if they ask you: Why should I choose a Diode laser over any other on the market?
- It has a longer wavelength. Remember that a hair removal laser will be effective if it can reach the full depth of the follicle
- You can use it on any skin type
- There’s no need to wait for the winter months. It can be done all year round
In addition, milesman Compact is the only one that emits the laser light vertically toward the skin (VCSEL system), which makes it more efficient since it maintains the energy density at every point, achieving a more uniform and effective result.
3) Can’t the most sensitive areas be treated with laser?
You’ve surely been told this many times, but the truth is that any area of the body can be treated with laser as long as you have the right features. With milesman Compact we can treat legs, groin, underarms, arms, back, the facial area…
It’s also especially useful for those clients who have problems with traditional hair removal, such as in the case of folliculitis.
4) Is laser hair removal painful?
This is one of clients’ biggest fears. Especially among those who tried laser hair removal years ago and gave it up because it was too painful.
Fortunately, technology has changed and we now have equipment like milesman Compact that is fast, able to treat large areas in very little time, robust, powerful, consumable-free, suitable for all skin types, and with a continuous cooling system so the treatment isn’t so uncomfortable.
5) If I shave with a razor, does the hair grow back stronger?
The only reason it may seem that the hair grows back stronger is that it doesn’t have the same thickness from its base to its tip.
That is, at its root it’s much thicker and at the tip it’s finer.
When we shave, we cut off the tip, that finer part of the hair. That’s why to the touch it gives us the feeling that the hair is now thicker. However, the hair’s actual thickness remains the same.
6) Can men use laser hair removal too?
Laser treatment is very popular among men for several practical and comfort-related reasons. If you play sports, the laser helps your muscles look more defined, especially on the chest and back. In addition, if you have a lot of body hair (for example, on your back), it can trap more sweat and odor, so removing or reducing it helps you stay fresher and cleaner.
And now tell us, did you know these false myths? Would you add any more? We’d love to read your comments on social media: @milesman_oficial
