Let’s face it: no one likes dealing with their scars and for good reason. Whether they are a result of acne, surgery, or the years of shaving and fighting ingrown hairs, scars can lower one’s self-esteem very easily. I’ve spent quite a bit of my adult life trying to get rid of them with serums, exfoliants, OTC creams, and even a few sessions of microneedling. Some techniques helped to an extent, but none offered the results I was striving for.
My search for solutions severely changed for the better after I found V&P Laser Hair Removal & Skin Care. At first, I was contemplating laser hair removal for a few stubborn areas like my underarms and bikini line–and those were my main areas of focus. What I did not expect however, is that this procedure would greatly enhance the appearance f my scars as well.
Until I went through the procedure, I did not know laser sessions could serve as a two-in-one skincare treatment. In case you are looking for information on the subject I have written a summary of everything that I learned from my sessions at V&P.
Wait… Laser Hair Removal Can Help with Scars?
That’s what I thought too at first. I made an appointment to get the hair removed from my bikini line and underarms. But the consultant at V&P was so focused on details and tried to further explain the small scars that I have gotten from some ingrown hair follicles. She tried to explain that no, laser hair removal is not primarily used to remove scars, but the results show that it can indeed help reduce/remedy scars over a period of time due to the lasers effect on the skin.
This is how things typically go:
- Lasers are known for initiating collagen generation which is an integral biomolecule for the rejuvenation and healing of skin.
- It also aids in the balancing of pigmentation which is darker or reddish due to the inflammation or even acne.
- At around three sessions, I realized that my skin done this weird thing where the texture got smoother. And those marks with bumps? Beforehand they were very noticeable, but now? Not at all.
The V&P Experience
V&P is amazing both in their professionalism and friendliness. They guide you through every process which speaks volumes about their knowledge. Their clinic is extremely clean, all the equipment is top of the line, and the procedures are done in a timely manner (which is pretty much promised if it’s a smaller area like the face or underarms).
After a few months with about six sessions spread out, my hair growth was reduced tremendously, and my self-conscious scars had faded a lot. Not only did the redness go away but my skin tone became more even.
Bonus: No More Ingrowns = No More New Scars
One thing I didn’t expect? Preventing new scars. If you’re someone who shaves or waxes and constantly gets ingrown hairs, you probably know the struggle. Laser hair removal essentially kills the follicle, so no hair = no ingrowns = no new scarring.
Honestly, that alone makes the treatment worth it.
Final Thoughts
Initially, I believed my visit to V&P Laser Hair Removal would only be for a smooth skin treatment—perhaps a ‘quicker’ lifting of a waxing and shaving burden—something I sorely wanted. Locally I was instructed and promised ‘everything’ would be under control. To my surprise, everything did seem to actually work under control. My hair growth in those areas where I wanted to be smooth reduced considerably, and the scars becoming lesser in the years I spent on them became almost invisible by weeks smoothing out. The unanticipated improvement in my self-esteem was incredible to say the least.
Most of my attention was captured by the staff at V&P, and the level of care they provided. Each session I was taken through how the laser works, which was highly detailed for my level of understanding. All the many sessions came along with great convenience rounding up with real comfort at every stage during the session. It is not common all in my community for technology with such care, skill, and friendliness of staff members around to blend together.
Considering unwanted hair, acne marks or texturized skin scarring are problems or already in your north coast, V&P laser hair removal center comes with my utmost recommendation. Remember, irrespective of whether or not one is preparing for the summertime, or planning for post-acne outbreak clearing out, turning to V&P would make it more about treating oneself.
Don’t just take my word for it—Book your laser hair removal consultation in Chicago here and see for yourself. You might go in for the hair removal, but you’ll walk out with smoother, clearer, more confident skin.
