Being hair-free should be pain-free and hassle-free the laser hair removal face painlessly, permanently, and safely reduces unwanted hair. You have heard about waxing, depilatory cream, shaving, threading, electrolysis and laser hair removal… Discover once and for all the ideal method for you according to your lifestyle, needs, areas of the body and skin problems.
Now, right at the start of the 21st century, methods to remove body and facial hair are so many and so varied that it can even be confusing. It worth learning about the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can choose correctly according to the color of your skin, hair tone, skin sensitivity and other variables. Here we talk about things that must be taken into account so that the hair removal is as effective and lasting as possible.
Wax, creams, lasers, threading – all these and other options abound. Gone are the days when hair removal systems were limited to a pair of scissors, tweezers or wax that had to be heated again and again. The products and techniques have evolved in surprising ways and offer solutions that are tailored to the needs of individual women, even more so than those of men.
One of the first things you have to do when choosing a hair removal method is to take into account the characteristics of your skin and hair as well as personal circumstances, especially how much time you can dedicate to this if your chosen method requires various sessions.
We must distinguish between the methods that merely cut the visible hair visible and those that work “attacking” and weakening the hair follicle, from the root. Among the former is the classic blade system, similar to male shaving and depilatory creams. In both cases, the hair disappears within a few minutes quickly and painlessly. It´s main disadvantage is hair will regrow within in a few days (one week).
Shaving can be your express solution but should not become the standard method of hair removal. Among other things as the blade passes over the skin it will affect, however slightly, the surface layer of the skin and can cause excessive shedding and so accelerating the natural process of cell regeneration. As a general rule, it is best to use one of the depilatory cream on the market today (made specifically for facial hair), as most are hypoallergenic and include emollients and moisturizers that take care of the skin while removing hair.
The wax method is still one of the most used. It’s fast, easy to apply and very effective because it removes hair by the roots. In addition you can choose the type (hot, warm, cold) that suits your specific degree of sensitivity. The wax strips can even be heated in minutes in the microwave or you can use the cold alternative. It is not a bad idea to do this in the beauty salon. You should not use wax if you have any dermatological or circulatory problems (for example, it is incompatible with the presence of varicose legs). With waxing, the hair takes longer to regrow, around four to six weeks and, if you apply a lotion hair growth inhibitor, the results can be extended.
Rotary devices that trap the hair are another alternative and work more or less smoothly. The disadvantage of this system is that it can be somewhat painful and is not advisable for certain areas of greater sensitivity like the bikini line or underarms.
Electrolysis is the only method that can accurately be classified as permanent but since the advent of the laser, has lost market share. This is one the group of methods that work by weakening the follicle progressively. Using a needle or tweezers connected to a small electrical outlet it surges the current to the root of each individual hair. Is a fairly slow as it works on individual hairs but is still effective if you want to remove highly focused areas of limited extent, for example hair that “decorates” the upper lip, or one of those unsightly hairs that refuses to disappear.
Laser hair removal is the one method that seems to be in vogue today if market share is anything to go by. The ideal conditions for maximum effectiveness in laser hair removal are light skin and dark hair, because light is directed to areas where there is greater concentration of melanin. Laser hair removal should be undertaken by a qualified professional (doctor). The number of sessions required to eliminate “short” hair depends on the area being treated and the physical characteristics of each individual.
Among the newest methods the Epilight system stands out, much like the laser, and has the added possibility of issuing variable wavelengths, allowing flexibility geared to specific needs. For example, in the case of hair that is too light, it would adapt the color intensity of the specific impulse so the hair stands out from the area being treated.
Another novelty, which is continually gaining more adepts is threading. This is an ancient method of Indian origin especially suitable for facial hair (great for the appropriate form to the eyebrows). In expert hands you are removing hair twined round a single thread without skin from damage. If you are looking to try this method out you could visit a beauty parlor specializing in threading, before doing it yourself so you can see, at the hands of an expert, whether this method is for you.
In the world of facial hair removal, there is a method suitable to all tastes and needs. Note that in the case of laser hair removal treatments or electrolysis you will need multiple sessions, so you should calculate the time factor if you want to be ready for summer.
