Waxing vs Laser Hair Removal: Why Laser is the Smarter Long-Term Choice

Posted by Joelle Rotsaert on

When it comes to hair removal, most people start with waxing because it feels affordable and familiar. However, waxing is only a short-term fix. If you’re looking for smooth, hair-free skin without the endless cycle of regrowth and appointments, laser hair removal is the clear winner. In this post, we’ll break down the true cost of waxing vs. laser treatments, and explain why our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus™ laser makes all the difference.

The Hidden Cost of Waxing

Waxing may seem inexpensive at first—after all, a single session costs much less than a laser treatment. But when you consider that waxing needs to be repeated every 4–6 weeks, the expenses add up quickly.

  • Average waxing cost: £40–£70 per session

  • Annual spend: £500–£1,000 depending on treatment area

  • Lifetime cost: Easily tens of thousands over 10–20 years

Not only that, but waxing comes with discomfort, risk of ingrown hairs, and skin irritation. And unfortunately, your hair always grows back.

The Long-Term Value of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is an investment upfront, but one that pays off over time. With a series of treatments (typically 6–8), you can achieve permanent reduction in hair growth.

  • Fewer treatments long-term – after your initial course, only occasional top-ups may be needed.

  • Cost savings – instead of paying every month, you make a one-time investment that lasts years.

  • Time savings – no more frequent salon visits or scheduling hassles.

In the long run, laser hair removal is not just more effective—it’s also far more economical than waxing.

Why the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus™ Stands Out

Not all laser machines are created equal. At our clinic, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus™, considered the gold standard in laser hair removal.

Here’s why it’s different:

  • Dual-wavelength technology – safe and effective for all skin types, from light to dark.

  • Faster treatments – covers larger areas quickly, making sessions more comfortable and efficient.

  • Precision targeting – destroys hair at the follicle while leaving surrounding skin untouched.

  • Built-in cooling system – minimises discomfort, making treatments virtually painless.

  • Proven results – delivers long-lasting smoothness and reduces the need for maintenance.

With the GentleMax Pro Plus™, you’re not just getting laser hair removal—you’re getting the safest, most effective treatment available today.

Conclusion: Choose Smarter, Not Harder

If you’re tired of the endless cycle of waxing, it’s time to make the switch. While waxing drains your wallet year after year, laser hair removal with the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus™ is a one-time investment that saves you money, time, and stress long term.

Smooth skin doesn’t have to come with compromise—choose the smarter, more effective solution and enjoy confidence that lasts.
