Different Hair Removal Methods

There are a lot of available options for hair removal, but only a few options for permanent hair removal. You should choose a method or combination of the methods that works best depending on cost, time availability, the skin type the desired hair-free area.

SHAVING

This is the most temporary hair removal method because it just merely cuts the hair off the surface of the skin. It does not make hair shaft darker, or darker, or make it grow faster or slower. But, the short hair shaft will be more noticeable because as it grows out, it has a blunt tip.

PLUCKING

Plucking hair using tweezers is one effective way of hair removal but can be time consuming. The hair shaft should be long enough to grasp with tweezers.

WAXING

Waxing is good for removing large amounts of hair in one time. Wax is warmed so that it can be easily spread over the skin in the direction of the hair growth. The hair then becomes embedded in the wax, which then cools and firms. The wax will then be quickly pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.

HAIR REMOVAL ELECTROLYSIS

This method involves inserting a fine needle in the hair follicle, and then applying an electrical current to the follicle root. It burns the root theoretically thus preventing hair growth. It may take several treatments to really destroy the follicle. This is a permanent hair removal method however it has several drawbacks. First, it is really hard to find an effective technician because there is no standardized licensing guideline for electrolysis. Second, electrolysis requires repeated sessions for 12 to 18 months. Finally, the side effects can include pain, infection, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation, and keloid formation.

HAIR REMOVAL WITH LASER

The laser works by emitting light different wavelengths, pulse widths, and energy output. The wavelengths that are used determine the skin structure it will affect such as melanin, veins or water. Laser treatments must be repeated because it does not cause permanent destruction of hair follicles but just retards the regrowth of hair.How To Naturally Regrow Lost Hair Click Here!
