Removing Hair- What is the Best Way?

Depending on the amount of hair, location and personal choice will depend which method will work best for you.

1.Shaving

A fast and instant option for eliminating a large surface area of hair, shaving is the instant hair removal option, but not also the method with which will need to be repeated on a daily or twice daily method. Some other disadvantages include cuts, ingrown hairs and razor rash/burn.

2. Manual Plucking

This is the best method for removing 1 or 2 hairs or perhaps for a small area. But manual plucking shouldn’t be the resource for legs or back hair. Not only is manual pluck a painful process, it is also very slow.

3. Waxing

Waxing is an application of a warmed wax to areas of hair-bearing skin and then removing it all in one go. It is a very common and popular method for removing hair on the arms, legs, eyebrows and bikini line. But it is also another temporary option for removing hair as the hair will slowly make it’s way back, but far slower than shaving. Some disadvantages include burns or scaring if the technician is not properly trained and removing that much hair in one pull from the roots is painful.

4. Electrolytic Therapy

Electrothermolysis uses an alternating current that causes direct thermal destruction of the hair follicle. Hair removal is almost completely guaranteed. Each hair must be treated individually and the process is slow and may be painful. Adverse effects include pain, scarring

5. Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis, or selective destruction of the follicular unit, resulting in significant hair reduction in treated areas. Very few risks are involved, depending on your skin tone, their could be minor skin discoloration.

Whether you choose to wax or shave or prefer the laser treatment, depending on how much hair you want to remove is the most important issue involved. Look to great health spas or skin laser and hair removal businesses with high creditials from leading hair and skin laser schools for the best results.
