Permanent Hair Removal—Which Method is Right for You?
If you have an excess of unwanted hair, you’ve probably exhausted all means in order to get rid of it. No doubt you’ve already grown tired of shaving or plucking, and you want something that won’t take as much of your time. Something more long lasting, too, if not permanent.
Permanent hair removal is actually within your reach, and there are several options available, whether you’re a man or a woman. Coming up front in the battle against unwanted hair are three contenders: Electrolysis, laser hair removal, and waxing.
While the latter of the three may not actually offer the 100%, full time removal of unwanted hair, it is an option for those who may not be able to afford electrolysis or laser hair removal. The process involves the application of a thin layer of melted wax directly on to the skin, after which a strip of cloth is laid on top of it, then swiftly pulled away, taking the unwanted hair with it.
While some people experience some discomfort after the process (reddening of skin, etc.), these side effects often vanish in a matter of hours. After the process is completed, the waxed area will stay hair free for a period of four to six. Over time, hair grows back finer and softer as the treatment is continued.
Meanwhile, if you can afford it, electrolysis and laser hair removal by far remain the best options for permanent hair removal. Electrolysis involves a process wherein a an electrical impulse is applied directly onto the hair follicle by inserting a needle directly into it. For the hair removal to be permanent, several 30-minute sessions (depending on the area) administered over a period of two weeks are needed.
Some of those who have undergone this hair removal method have reported experiencing pain during the actual electrolysis, as well as some skin. Overall, however, the side effects of this particular hair removal method remain to be just that.
Laser hair removal, on the other hand is touted to be a more non-invasive way to get rid of unwanted hair. In this method, laser light is used to penetrate the fair follicle, killing it at the root itself. Sessions last for approximately 10-minutes, spaced out over a period of two weeks as well, depending on the area and amount of hair to be removed. While generally quicker, and more pain-free, this method however, works best on those with light skin and dark hair.
Whatever method of permanent hair removal you may opt to use, remember that making an informed decision will always be the best thing to do. Do your research well—ask questions. In that way, you will determine with ease which method is right for you.
