5 Reasons Laser Hair Removal Is Better Than Shaving
5 Reasons Laser Hair Removal Is Better Than Shaving
If you're fed up with daily shaving, ingrown hairs, and stubbly regrowth, you’re not alone. At Victoria House Clinic in Birmingham, more and more clients are making the switch from razors to laser hair removal, and it’s easy to see why. With long-term results, smoother skin, and fewer appointments over time, laser hair removal is a smarter investment — especially when performed using Candela GentleMax Pro, the gold-standard technology we use at our CQC-registered clinic.
1. It Saves You Time — and Lots of It
Let’s face it, shaving is time-consuming. If you're shaving your legs, underarms or bikini area every couple of days, that time adds up.
Laser hair removal dramatically reduces regrowth, which means fewer grooming sessions, and eventually, no shaving at all.
One course of treatment = smoother skin for months, even years.
2. Say Goodbye to Ingrown Hairs and Skin Irritation
Shaving can cause razor burn, bumps, and those dreaded ingrown hairs — especially in sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms.
Clients often ask:
Will laser hair removal stop ingrown hairs?
Can laser hair removal help with folliculitis or strawberry legs?
The answer is yes. Laser hair removal targets the root of the hair, which means it prevents hairs from growing back in a way that curls under the skin. This makes it highly effective at treating:
○ Ingrown hairs
○ Folliculitis
○ Strawberry legs (visible dark dots in hair follicles)
3. It’s More Cost-Effective in the Long Run
Sure, razors might seem cheap at first — but over time, the costs add up. Think razors, shaving gel, post-shave treatments and the repeat purchases year after year.
With laser hair removal, you’re investing in long-term results. At Victoria House Clinic, we offer affordable packages, seasonal offers, and the reassurance of experienced, ethical care.
No more rushed trips to Boots for razors. No more wasted money.
4. It Works — Even for Complex Hair Conditions Like PCOS
If you’re wondering “Will laser hair removal work for PCOS?” — the answer is yes, when done with the right technology and care.
Women with PCOS often experience thick, stubborn hair on the face, chest, stomach or neck. We regularly treat PCOS clients with great results using the Candela GentleMax Pro, which is safe and effective for hormonal hair growth.
During your consultation, we’ll tailor your plan based on your:
○ Hormonal patterns
○ Skin type and hair colour
○ Desired treatment areas
5. You’ll Enjoy Lasting, Smoother Results
Laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction, and clients often ask:
Will laser hair removal be permanent?
Why is laser hair removal better than waxing or shaving?
While results can vary slightly by individual, most clients see up to 90% reduction in hair growth with maintenance only needed every 6–12 months. Unlike waxing or shaving, you’re not just removing the hair — you’re treating the follicle itself.
Bonus: Common Questions About Laser Hair Removal
Let’s quickly answer a few more we hear in clinic:
🧐 Will laser hair removal work on blonde or white hair?
Laser works best on dark hair because it relies on pigment. Blonde or white hair contains little to no melanin, so results may be limited. We’ll assess suitability during your consultation.
🧴 Will it ruin or remove tattoos?
No, we do not laser over tattoos. In fact, laser hair removal should never be done on tattooed skin, as it can cause burns or pigment changes. We carefully work around tattooed areas.
💡 Why might laser hair removal not work for some people?
This is usually due to incorrect laser choice, poor technique, hormonal conditions or not completing the full course. At Victoria House Clinic, we only use Candela GentleMax Pro, one of the most powerful and effective lasers available, and tailor every plan to your needs.
