There are many ways to remove hair, and most of them are temporary. VIDA Aesthetic Medicine is committed to helping patients achieve their skin care goals, and for women and men alike a top concern is time and effort wasted with hair removal efforts that yield short-term results. It’s been reported by the Huffington Post that shaving is a woman’s “most hated” beauty routine and women spend nearly 2,000 hours of their life doing it. Men spend even more hours of their life (around 3,000 on average) shaving, and it’s not a beloved activity for them either.

Shaving is one of the most common ways to remove hair, but waxing is another common approach. The results last a little longer with the latter since hairs are pulled out from the root, but waxing still has many downsides. The process is considered painful by many and it’s expensive. You often have to wax 1 – 2 times per month in order to maintain results. Plus, hair needs to be long enough to be waxed, so you have to wait through a few days of dealing with unwanted hair before you can remove it.

Achieving Less Unwanted Hair

Plucking can work for smaller areas of unwanted hair, but it’s time consuming, oftentimes uncomfortable, and can be a daily task. There are trends like sugaring that some clients prefer over waxing because it’s less painful, but it’s still an ongoing, lifelong process. For those who want to decrease unwanted hair for good, laser hair removal with Sciton can save you countless hours of grooming.

Sciton is the recommended technology by VIDA and is revolutionary in the field of laser hair removal. It delivers multiple pulses of energy at lower levels for results that are safe, quick, and actually comfortable. A thermoelectrically cooled plate combined with an extra-large high-powered spot size means minimal discomfort and an appointment that can fit in your lunch hour. Hair follicles are evenly heated, which lowers the risk of missing areas. Another advantage is that the Sciton technology treats a wide variety of skin types.
