y struggle with hair removal was real. I was a hairy girl and I didn’t like it at all. I tried all methods, but none of them really worked for me. My skin would be silky smooth for maybe half a day, but after that, I was covered in stubbles, ingrown hairs, inflammations, and a huge rash. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel very comfortable with that. No matter what I did, what method I used, and how good I was taking care of my skin, it was itchy and so painful. I had to plan beach days ahead. Yeah, as you can probably imagine, all of this made me very unhappy and insecure.
What is laser hair removal?
Then I found out about laser hair removal and madre mía, has it changed my life!
When I was 18, I had a really bad experience with laser hair removal. It turned out that the laser didn’t work at all, so all the money (and time) was basically thrown in the trash. Then I gave it another shot and tried a different kind of laser, that worked really well for me! However, I didn’t finish the treatments. And that’s where it goes wrong, if you don’t finish your treatments, the hair will grow back. A total waste of money, if you’d ask me, so always follow through! But, before we dive into the story of why I chose Elha Laser & Beauty, let’s talk about what laser hair removal exactly is.
There are many different kinds of laser technologies. So which one should you choose? That’s totally up to you. They do all have one thing in common: energy from the laser is picked up by the pigment in the hair follicle, destroying the root. Once the root is destroyed, it can't produce more hair.
At Elha Laser & Beauty they use the Diode laser, this is a very effective and safe one on both white and brown skin. It has become very popular over the past years.
Why I chose Elha Laser & Beauty
There are so many clinics in Valencia, I had no idea which one to choose. The only thing I knew was that I was looking for affordable, high-quality laser hair removal treatments. Of course, I was cautious, because of my previous experiences.
Some clinics are very expensive and most of them let you pay upfront for all sessions. Now I do have to say: if it comes to things like this, paying a bit more for something that you can enjoy for the rest of your life is obviously worth it. However, I couldn’t afford that at that time and so I waited another two years.
But then my friends told me about Elha Laser & Beauty. They were very satisfied with the results, the prices are super affordable and the biggest plus: you can pay per session. The first treatment is for free, so you can see if it actually works for you. I was a bit skeptical since it was so cheap, but I thought: “Let’s just give it a try!”
The results
After my first session, I could already see the results! I was super happy and I immediately booked my next session. I’ve had five sessions so far, I’m not done yet but there is a huge difference: I’ve got much fewer inflammations and rashes after shaving, a lot less hair, and the hair that’s still growing is fine. Let’s give a big round of applause for Elha Laser & Beauty, shall we?
The treatment
In my opinion, the treatment isn’t painful at all. Most people describe it like this: it either feels like a little rubber band is snapping the skin or it feels like a light, warm pinch. In my case, it feels like a warm pinch. And if you’re used to waxing or epilating, trust me… this is nothing ;-) They use cold gel to numb the skin, so it shouldn’t hurt or feel hot.
Feeling at ease
The ladies always make me feel at ease. I mean, that’s kind of important if you’re gonna have a stranger touch you with a machine while you’re fully naked. I get my whole body lasered, so if you’re just going for your armpits this would obviously not be the case. They explain everything really well, are very friendly, and continously ask if you’re okay during the treatment. My Spanish is not great, so they speak slowly for me or they try to speak English.
Prices
Most people need somewhere between six to eight sessions, but that’s different for everyone. It’s advised to come back once a year for a maintenance treatment as well, as hormonal changes can cause the hair to grow back a little.
If you want to give it a try and book your first appointment, feel free to use my referral link. The first session is free!
