Body Hair Removal - Your Choices
Hair Removal Methods
By Oliver Turner
Most people need and want to remove some (or all?) their hair from their bodies, at one time or another. Some people do it regularily while others do it occasionally. Whatever your situation may be, this article serves as an introduction to some of the methods involved.
The first body hair removal option that is available to both men and women is shaving. Shaving is a very popular method of removing unwanted body hair but the downside is that hair can grow back very quickly.
Using a depilatory product is another form of body hair removal. This process chemically dissolves the hair but as with shaving the hair will return. Another downside to using a depilatory product is that many of these creams can cause irritations and skin tests are always recommended prior to use.
Waxing is another very popular method of body hair removal but as with shaving this is not a permanent hair removal solution. Waxing is also very painful but re-growth is slower.
Electrolysis as a form of body hair removal can in some cases prove to be a permanent hair removal solution. An electrical current is used to destroy hair follicles but several sessions are required and the results are not guaranteed. Electrolysis can also be very painful and only small areas can be treated at a time.
The last choice available for body hair removal is lazer hair removal. Using a laser hair removal treatment destroys hair follicles and results in permanent hair removal. A laser hair removal treatment can be used all over the body and large areas can be treated at a time. The only drawback with this body hair removal solution is the cost of laser hair removal which can be quite expensive. With lazer hair removal there is minimal pain unlike electrolysis which can be very painful and after a laser hair removal treatment the skin will heal quite quickly, usually within 20 minutes.
One helpful way of identifying the different methods available for hair removal is based on whether it is temporal, from hours to weeks; or permanent. Electrolysis is the only method that can rightly be classified as permanent hair removal. Sometimes laser hair removal is mistakenly identified as permanent but the FDA has not accepted this statement. Laser can be classified as a permanent reduction of hair growth.
1. Temporary Methods include: Shaving, Plucking, Waxing, Threading, Lasering.
2. Permanent Methods: Electrolysis.
