Exploring Short-Term and Long-Term Hair Removal Solutions

Unwanted body hair is the cause of embarrassment to many people, mostly because of constant taunts and comments that they get from those they know. Some people even make rude comments and compare hairy people with wild animals like gorillas. Now with that being the case, they want to do away with unwanted body hair specially the ones that are visible to others. What are the choices?

Long-lasting or permanent solution

·       Laser: It is one of the best ways to get permanent hairless skin. You will be happy to know that you can also do laser hair removal at home. It is best for those people who are reluctant to discuss about unwanted hair with others. They can easily order the device online and then use it discretely at their homes. Needless to say, they will need to closely follow the instruction manual.

·       IPL: This permanent hair removal technology is fairly new but it is fast gaining grounds because many people have achieved great results by using these devices. Home hair removal tools are convenient and affordable but need you to follow instructions to avoid skin damage and to get the best results.

·       Electrolysis: You will need to get it done at the clinics by specialists. You will need to be patient if you choose this one because the method eliminates one follicle at a time. It has to be done in small patches and may take months to get to the final session. Go for it only if you can commit to give your time for the treatment.

Short-term quick fixes

·       Shaving: All of us know about this method because we have seen men in our homes use it every other day. Blades or razors are used to cur the follicles from the skin surface. You could get rashes or cuts if you go for close shaves.

·       Creams: If you are looking for a painless and convenient method, this is it. It dissolves the hair at skin surface offering a little longer-lasting solution than shaving. The good thing about this method is that you will not have to go through pain. Some believe that the regrowth after using creams is thicker but there is no scientific basis for that.

·       Waxing: You will need to prepare yourself mentally to bear the pain you get when the follicles are pulled out from their roots. In this method, cloth or plastic strips with organic glue are used. You also get readymade strips. It is better because it gets a little messy when you dip the strips in wax glue.

·       Threading: It is similar to using wax but here the thread is used to pull out hair. Women mostly use them on facial hair like upper lips.

As you can see, there are many methods to choose from, but it is more important to choose the one that is really feasible for you. What works for your friend need not necessarily work on you, so learn more about the methods and make informed choices. Don’t just get carried away by the tall claims that they make on advertisements. Dig deeper to find the pros and cons.
