Which is better: depilatory creams or laser hair removal?

　　Laser hair removal is performed based on the principle of photothermal dynamics of laser, achieving the purpose of hair removal. The general reference price for laser hair removal is 1000-5000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is usually observed within 1-3 months. Generally speaking, there is no definitive answer to the question of which is better between depilatory creams and laser hair removal, as they have different characteristics. The specific analysis is as follows:

　　Depilatory creams can complete the hair removal process in a short time without the need for blades or other tools, thus reducing physical irritation to the skin. In addition, depilatory creams are relatively gentle and usually do not cause severe irritation or allergic reactions. However, depilatory creams only temporarily remove hair, and new hair will regrow within a few weeks.

　　Laser hair removal can penetrate the subcutaneous tissue and rapidly remove hair from the body while not affecting normal perspiration and skin functions. Moreover, the effect of laser hair removal is long-lasting, and long-term or even permanent hair removal can be achieved after multiple treatments. However, laser hair removal is relatively complex to perform and requires operation by a professional physician. Additionally, local redness, swelling, pigmentation, and other adverse reactions may occur after laser hair removal.

　　If laser hair removal is desired, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure its safety.
