Faster Ways to Remove Unwanted Body Hair
Most people are spending a lot of money on the latest techniques
to remove unwanted hair on their faces, legs, arms, chests,
backs and private areas. Is it possible to remove hair from such
large surface areas? And more importantly, is doing so safe? The
answer to both questions is, yes. Removing body hair is possible
and if done correctly, and in some cases by a licensed
professional, it is also safe.
1. Hair Removal by Laser Treatments. One of the fastest ways to
remove unwanted body hair is by undergoing laser treatments.
Although this is the most expensive approach, laser hair removal
is the most effective at permanently eliminating body hair.
Unlike electrolysis, where each hair follicle must be dealt with
individually making the process extremely time-consuming and
painful, laser therapy can impact several follicles
simultaneously, which greatly speeds up the process. It's great
for removing hair from the back and chest, arms and legs.
As stated already however, the costs are extreme. To do an area
as large as the back will cost several thousand dollars, and
that's per treatment. Several treatments are necessary because
the laser technique can only impact hair that is currently in a
growing stage. Also, there will be places where hair will regrow
and although it will regrow finer and lighter, in order to be
permanent, the hair follicle needs to be rendered incapable of
growing new hair.
2. Hair Removal by Waxing The next best method of removing body
hair is waxing. Far less expensive than laser treatments and
even electrolysis, waxing works by extracting
hairs out of their
shafts. Because the hair follicle is not specifically and
purposely damaged, hair will regrow, but it will take several
weeks for it to reappear. Repetitive application of this hair
removal process may ultimately affect the follicle and cause
hair growth to cease, however, this is not guaranteed which is
why waxing cannot be considered a permanent hair removal method.
Waxing, or sugaring if you're sensitive to wax or prefer an
organic solution, works by applying a layer of cold or hot wax
or a sugar-based mixture directly on the area where hair is to
be removed. After allowing to harden it is very quickly peeled
away from the skin, in the opposite direction of the hair growth
and viola - the body hair is pulled free from that area. The
process is repeated until the entire body surface is free of
hair. It is possible to do this at home, but since most of us
have a low tolerance to self-inflicted pain, you'll get better
and faster results if you leave this type of work to someone
else, at least for the first few times.
If you think it's time to remove unwanted body hair, whether for
cosmetic reasons, sports-related competitions or any other
reason, go with laser therapy if you can afford it or waxing.
They're the best for removing large expanses of body hair.
