Levulan PDT for Acne Vulgaris in Orlando FL

How Laser Hair Removal can help you go Green!!

In honor of Earth Month this April 2008, we wanted to explain how laser hair removal can help clients "Go Green"! Shaving can take up to an extra 20-25 minutes of shower and water usage up to 4 times per week or more for some shower lovers! Also, the use of plastic razors and shaving cream is not only extremely costly but the plastic & aluminum for the cans can take decades to bio-degrade and can create a lot of excess waste. If wax has been your choice consider the waste that creates; the gloves, the jars of wax, the wax sticks, and the strips! Laser hair removal only involves gloves and little paper as waste. So before you decide to just stop shaving altogether, consider Laser Hair Removal as the alternative! While it might seem like more of a cost upfront, the money you can save in the long run from razors, waxing, and shaving creams is amazing (approx. $250-$400 annually), and the waste you will save will help protect "Mother Earth"!
