- Shaving always carries a risk of cuts. You don’t have to worry about that with waxing.
- Although it requires a little preparation, waxing takes out entire strips of hair at a time.
- After waxing, you’ll probably be hairless for a couple of weeks. Shaving just cuts the hair back to the skin, so the hair becomes visible as soon as it starts to grow again. Waxing takes the hair out from the root, so you won’t have to see the new hair until it’s reached the surface.
- As with epilation or IPL, repeated waxing will damage the hair follicle, so the hair that grows back will gradually become finer and more sparse.
