Bikini Waxing
Let's get right to the point. Bikini waxing hurts, and hurts a lot more than laser hair removal. Getting a bikini wax is about as much fun as slamming your pinky in a door. Of course, if you've already tried shaving, gels, creams and all the other depilatory gadgets available today, a professional bikini wax might look attractive. However, when stacked against using laser hair removal on your pubic area, bikini waxing is just archaic and painful and not a good way to gert rid of unwanted body hair.If you haven't tried it yourself, bikini waxing consists of pouring molten wax on your nether regions, waiting for it to cool, and then ripping off an unsuspecting handful of hairs, uprooting them from their happy little homes. That's right: this excruciating process takes place one small patch at a time!
Laser hair removal, on the other hand, can result in permanent hair removal for unwanted body hair in the bikini region. Each pulse of laser light removes most of the hairs which are in the anagen (growth) stage within the area of a coin in less than one second. Bikini hair removal treatment takes only 10-15 minutes per session. Treatments need to be repeated every six weeks or so for an average of 4-8 treatments. Each treatment costs about $250. Overall, one will achieve permanent pubic hair reduction, and save lots of time and money in the long run.

The results of waxing can last for an average of four to six weeks. Waxing, as we said, can be quite painful. It can also result in ingrown hairs. Another downside to waxing is that it can cost on average between $25 and $65 per treatment. Since waxing needs to be repeated every six weeks or so, it can cost over $500 per year. Spending $500 per year seems like a lot of money for temporary hair removal.
