Many women are seeking permanent hair removal solution and the good news is; there are various ways in which this can be done. Of course, before purchasing or looking into any method to remove hair, a word of caution needs to be made. Always read the product’s instructions or listen to a professional dermatologist on what the risks are, as well as the advantages.
One example of a hair removal product is laser hair removal. Permanent laser hair removal will indeed remove unwanted hair but once it’s done, will require a lot of care and it is important to know and understand the precautions and number of sessions required, that come with this procedure.
Permanent Hair Removal – Electrolysis
Then there is electrolysis. Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal process where individual hairs are removed from one’s face or body. This process usually takes several visits and is expensive, often painful, and time-consuming but is effective; especially with those who have light skin. However, there are some after effects.
Permanent Hair Removal – Depilatories
Then there are depilatories; that is, hair removal creams. Permanent hair removal cream are applied over the skin. Removal of the cream is done after waiting for a few minutes. These creams come in several varieties such as gels, lotions, and roll-on products. This process is often effective for about 2-5 weeks. Creams are often expensive, but can be used for permanent hair removal at home and are speedy to use. But beware; these products can be irritating to the skin and the odor is unpleasant. Those who have sensitive skin should be especially careful when using this product and of course, anyone using this product or any skin removal product, should always read the instructions carefully before beginning.
Permanent Hair Removal – Razors
Many women still use razors to remove unwanted hair. Most women don’t like the process because it leaves their skin red and irritated. But, there have been some improvements with razors that are taking away the redness and irritation. Many razors now have Aloe or Vitamin E strips that are built in to the razor. This helps the razor to work more gently on the skin and prevent bumps, dry skin, redness and swelling. The only disadvantage to using the shaver is that it has to be done everyday. But, if you incorporate it into your morning or evening shower routine, it will work well for you.
For permanent facial hair removal use epilators. Epilators are hand held electronic devices that help to pull off unwanted hair. This hair removal process works best on arms and legs and its results can last for days or sometimes, several weeks. However, there is a drawback when using this tool. Hair must be between one-quarter of an inch and one third of an inch long; so that the epilator can work most effectively. And, for some people, epilators can be painful, especially in sensitive areas such as the bikini area.
Then there is a permanent hair remover known as the Rio scan laser. This innovative device removes hair from the face, chest, legs, arms and pubic area and what is great; this can all be done in your home. The Rio scan laser reaches deep into the hair follicle and destroys it; this in turn prevents new hair growth. The fact that you can use this product by yourself will eliminate money paid to a doctor or beautician. This permanent hair removal process is also effective, safe and has little pain.
Another method to remove unwanted hair is waxing. Waxing is when you apply a sticky substance to the skin. The sticky substance, known also as resin, is then pulled off — often in the direction of hair growth. The end result is that the hair is removed from the roots but will grow back. The good news is that waxing is effective on all parts of the body — legs, bikini areas and the face. However; a word of warning— there is quite a bit of pain, especially when done the first time but you will notice that hair that returns will be thinner, less noticeable and the pain will be less, the more times it is applied. In addition, the results last from 3 t o 6 weeks and costs about $10 per application.
Sugaring, which is an alternative to waxing, is a combination of lemon juice, sugar and water. The main advantage with sugaring compared to traditional waxing is the clean up. The mixture comes off with water.
Permanent hair removal products, if used carefully and with caution, can help restore confidence and a more positive attitude to those who are seeking a safe and healthy solution for hair removal.
