IPL, shaving or waxing: which hair removal method should you choose for smooth skin?

IPL, rasage ou cire : quelle méthode d’épilation choisir pour une peau douce ?

Getting rid of unwanted hair is a must for many of us. Between shaving, waxing, and now IPL, it can be difficult to navigate. Which method is most effective, comfortable, and cost-effective? LuxIPL helps you understand.


🔍 Shaving: practical but ephemeral

Shaving remains the most used method on a daily basis.
Its advantages: it is quick, painless and does not require an appointment.
Its limitations: regrowth is almost immediate (1 to 2 days) and the hair often grows back thicker. Frequent shaving can also irritate the skin, especially in sensitive areas such as the bikini line or underarms.

🕯️ Waxing: effective but sometimes painful

Waxing is a method appreciated for its short-term effectiveness.
Its advantages: it pulls out the hair from the root, leaving the skin soft for 3 to 4 weeks.
Its limitations: pain (especially in sensitive areas), the risk of ingrown hairs, and a significant cost if you visit a salon regularly. At home, it remains tedious and messy for some.


IPL with LuxIPL: the modern and sustainable solution

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal is the major beauty revolution of recent years. With LuxIPL, you have access to this technology directly at home , without an appointment or travel.

Its advantages:

  • Progressive and lasting reduction of regrowth.

  • No pain: the light acts gently on the follicle.

  • Economical: an investment that quickly pays for itself compared to sessions in a salon.

  • Suitable for several areas: legs, arms, bikini line, underarms.

Its limits: requires a little regularity at the beginning (1-2 sessions per week), but the results largely compensate for this effort.


Quick comparison

Method Pain Duration of results Long-term cost Ease
Shaving Painless 1 to 2 days High (blades, creams) Very easy
Wax Moderately painful 3 to 4 weeks Raised (living room or home kits) AVERAGE
LuxIPL Painless Several months or even years Economic Very easy


🌟 Which method should you choose?

It all depends on your priorities:

  • For an express result: the razor remains practical but not ideal in the long term.

  • For longer-lasting hair removal: waxing is effective but requires putting up with the pain and a recurring budget.

  • For maximum comfort and long-lasting results: LuxIPL is the modern alternative for those who want to master their beauty routine while saying goodbye to salon appointments.
