Let's face it: There are very few (TBH, maybe even zero) people who enjoy shaving or waxing. After all, they aren't just time-consuming—they can result in uncomfortable razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and skin irritation. Plus, money spent on hair removal can really pile up; according to Milan Laser Hair Removal, the average person will spend $10,000 or more on razors, exfoliants, shaving cream, and other related items in their lifetime. (For waxers, that estimate shoots up to $18,000.) So while it's perhaps a bit pricier up front, the time and money saved in the long term makes laser hair removal the *elite* choice.
"Waxing is like renting," says Madi Griffith, a clinic manager at Milan Laser Hair Removal. "You'll be paying that amount until the end of time, with no return on your investment. With laser hair removal, your investment will pay off and you'll be able to maintain hair-free results."
Ready to make your effortlessly hair-free dreams a reality? Keep reading to learn more about why Milan Laser Hair Removal should be a top contender.
A Customizable Experience
Your first visit to Milan Laser Hair Removal starts with a free consultation, during which you'll tell a clinic manager about your lifestyle (are you very active? do you spend a lot of time in the sun?) and the areas you're looking to target. Then they'll tailor a treatment plan for you.
"One of my favorite things is that our packages are customizable," says Griffith. "We can start with just your priority area, or we bundle a few into one plan for a great price."
The Time Commitment
According to Aubree Jackson, RN, a Milan Laser Hair Removal provider-educator, an average laser session can last mere minutes or a couple of hours, depending on the area being treated. For a small part of the body—let's say the underarms—the whole appointment will only take about 10 minutes, while a Brazilian takes an average of 20 minutes. If you're targeting multiple areas, a session can take up to two hours.
"It typically takes about 7 to 10 treatments total to initially achieve hair-free results," notes Griffith. "Due to factors like hormonal changes and your natural hair-growth cycles, touch-ups can be needed down the road." But thankfully, with Milan Laser's Unlimited Package, you'll never pay for a touch-up for the rest of your life.
The Cost
"We want laser hair removal to be accessible for everyone," says Griffith. "You can pursue a payment plan, which is what most of our clients do." The cost of your monthly bill will vary depending on the package you select, but don't worry—anyone can be approved, and they start as low as $45 per month. If you opt to pay for the treatment up front, you will have zero additional costs or copays.
All of which is to say, as Griffith puts it, "laser hair removal is an investment—but there's no better investment than the one you make in yourself."
