Why Choose Laser Hair Removal? 

There are several reasons why laser hair removal may be your best solution to unwanted hair growth.  Whether you're seeking a permanent reduction to avoid the inconvenience and irritation of shaving,  are uncomfortable with the areas of growth, or simply wish to discover a new look we have a solution for you.  In the long run, laser hair removal is considerably more time and cost-effective than other common depilatory methods.  If you feel medical grade laser hair removal is the right solution for your needs we welcome you to fill out our two minute online consultation and we'll contact you to schedule a complimentary in house consultation.

Body Image

The reality is, hair doesn’t always grow in the places you want it to. This may make you feel uncomfortable with your body image if there are noticeable amounts of hair growing in places you wish it wouldn’t. Given the role of hair in psychosocial communication, (as a symbol of youth, health, fertility, and sexual potency) excess growth often has an underestimated psychosocial impact on an individual’s self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and positioning within a society.

Som Visao offers laser hair removal as an option for you to help become more comfortable in your skin.  Through a focused series of treatments you won't have to worry about irritated skin, expensive products, or spending your time shaving.  Best of all, after the appropriate number of treatments for your skin and hair type, when the hair is gone...it's gone.  Please read on to discover how in the long run, laser hair removal is considerable more time and cost-effective than other common depilatory methods.

Comparison of shaving to laser hair removal

Laser hair removal: Average of $125/session x 5 sessions (~1 hour each) = $625 and roughly 5 hours of your time for permanent medical grade hair removal.

Shaving: Average of 30 min/ week x 52 weeks/year x 5 years = 130 hours. Based on a 40 hour work week you’ll spend 3.25 working weeks over 5 years shaving. Based on the cost of $10/ pack of 3 razors (lasting ~2 weeks) x 26 purchases/year x 5 years, the cost of razors is around $1,300. In summary, you’d expect shaving to cost you 3.25 working weeks of your time and $1,300 for 5 years of hair removal. The cost of skin lotions to treat irritated skin and the time it takes to apply these lotions has not been included in this price.

Waxing: The cost of a Brazilian wax is about $55.00/session. If you were to have a Brazilian wax once a month for 5 years you’d expect to pay $55 x 12 months x 5 years = $3,300 and approximately 60 hours of your time (approximately 1.5 working weeks). In summary, the cost of committing to Brazilian waxing for 5 years on a regular basis would cost you 1.5 working weeks of your time and $3,300.

Considering time, cost and inconvenience of waxing, shaving, purchasing razors, creams, depilatories, etc., laser hair removal can be a much more practical solution to your unwanted hair growth.
