Most patients find waxing to be less painful than other methods, such as laser hair removal. Waxing removes the entire hair follicle, while the laser method only zaps the hair at the surface.
Waxing can take up to 10 weeks to achieve permanent results, while laser hair removal is permanent.
It’s a good idea to avoid shaving between waxing sessions. If you do, the hair will grow back coarse and stubbly.
