When it comes to removing unwanted hair, most people default to the usual routines — razors, waxing strips, or trips to the salon. While these methods get the job done temporarily, they often require constant upkeep and can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and long-term frustration.
If you’re tired of the cycle, laser hair removal might be the upgrade your routine needs. Here’s why more and more men and women in Ontario and across Canada are ditching their razors and booking laser sessions instead — and why it’s an investment that pays off.
You Save Money in the Long Run
Shaving may seem cheap at first, but the cost of razors, shaving cream, and aftercare products adds up. Waxing is even more expensive when done regularly at salons. Let’s break it down:
Shaving costs average $15–20/month in products
Waxing sessions can cost $40–$80+ per visit, every 4–6 weeks
Laser hair removal involves a few upfront sessions — but after that, you’re largely hair-free
Over the course of a year, you’re likely spending hundreds of dollars just to manage body hair. With laser, you make one investment, and the results last for years — saving you money (and time) long term.
Long-Lasting, Permanent Hair Reduction
Laser hair removal targets the root of the hair follicle, damaging its ability to regrow. After a full treatment series (usually 6 to 8 sessions), most clients experience up to 85–90% reduction in hair growth.
Unlike shaving, which grows back in days, or waxing, which grows back in weeks, laser delivers smooth skin for the long term. Once you’re done, you may only need the occasional touch-up session — no more rushing to shave before a last-minute event or booking monthly wax appointments.
No More Ingrown Hairs or Razor Burn
Shaving and waxing often lead to ingrown hairs, razor bumps, cuts, or redness — especially on sensitive areas like the bikini line, underarms, or legs. Laser hair removal significantly reduces irritation by targeting the hair follicle without breaking the skin’s surface.
Clients who struggle with skin sensitivity often report clearer, smoother skin after laser — with far fewer breakouts or bumps.
More Time Back in Your Routine
Shaving every few days? Waxing every few weeks? It adds up.
Laser hair removal helps you reclaim your time by eliminating the need for daily or weekly hair removal routines. Once your treatment plan is complete, you can wake up ready for the day, without having to think about razors or salon bookings.
It’s one less thing to worry about — and a huge time saver over the course of a year.
Confidence All Year Round
Whether it’s summer in Ontario or a vacation anywhere in Canada, you’ll feel more confident knowing your skin is smooth and ready — without the stress of last-minute grooming. No visible stubble. No regrowth shadows. Just clean, clear skin that lets you wear what you want, whenever you want.
For many men and women, that daily confidence is priceless.
Laser Is More Comfortable Than You Think
While waxing pulls hair out from the root (ouch), laser hair removal feels more like a quick snap or mild warmth. Modern laser systems — like the Triton™ machine used at many Hand & Stone locations — are designed with built-in cooling to keep treatments comfortable and quick.
Most clients find laser far more tolerable than waxing, especially since the discomfort decreases with each session as the hair becomes finer and sparser.
Conclusion: Laser Is a Smart, Long-Term Investment in You
While shaving and waxing may seem easier in the short term, they come with constant costs, time, and discomfort. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, offers long-lasting results, smoother skin, and the freedom to stop worrying about hair removal altogether.
