Laser Hair Removal vs Waxing: Which Hair Removal Method Is Better Long-Term?
At Dermacarelab, many clients ask whether laser hair removal or waxing is the better long-term hair removal solution. While both methods remove unwanted hair, the results, skin impact, and overall cost over time are very different.
Waxing removes hair from the root, but hair typically grows back within 2–4 weeks. Regular waxing can lead to skin irritation, ingrown hairs, pigmentation, and repeated discomfort—especially for sensitive Indian skin. Over time, the recurring cost of waxing adds up significantly.
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle using advanced laser technology, reducing hair growth progressively. At Dermacarelab, we use medically approved lasers suitable for Indian skin tones, offering long-lasting hair reduction with minimal skin irritation. After completing recommended sessions, hair grows back finer, lighter, or may stop growing altogether.
Although laser hair removal may seem costlier initially, it becomes more economical over time by eliminating frequent salon visits. It also improves skin texture and reduces ingrown hairs.
