Hair Removal Choices

Thursday, July 28, 2011


Hair Removal is one of the leading cosmetic industries. Leg hair, underarm hair, and even facial hair is being permanently removed in order to keep a constant, smooth skin layer. Technological advances have changed the world of hair removal into a battle ground of the best and the worst. The choices for hair removal today include using lasers, waxing, electrolysis, and hair removal creams.

Laser hair removal, a non permanent form of hair removal, uses a laser to penetrate the skin and temporarily stop the hair follicle from growing hair. This method of hair removal is expensive and will need to be repeated at least twice a year. The darker your hair color the more successful the laser hair removal will be.

Waxing, one of the most inexpensive hair removal techniques, is another that is not permanent. Waxing requires heating a wax, applying to the skin and then,using a special waxing paper, ripping the hairs from the follicle. There is no damage done to the follicle and the hair will return within a few weeks time.
Waxing tends to work best when used on smaller parts of the body, such as, the eyebrows and bikini line.
Electrolysis, the only permanent form of hair removal, is quite a time consuming event. Each hair follicle is killed with an electronic jolt. This means that a small needle will have to be placed inside each of the hair follicles separately. Electrolysis also tends to be more effective in smaller areas.

Hair removal creams, the worst solution available for hair removal, consists of an acid style cream that burns the hair away. The cream tends to burn the skin in the process and rarely works the way it claims. Without a doubt, hair removal creams are the products to avoid when searching through the hair removal choices.

Hair removal is all about beauty, style and grace. The longer a woman’s legs can stay smooth, the less she will have to deal with the upkeep and chance of cuts and razor burn. While many hair removal products and treatments are available, few truly offer a permanent solution.

Ways to Rid Underarm Hair at Home

Monday, July 25, 2011


Underarm hair is one of the most annoying places to have hair, and you can rightly say ‘it’s the pits’. There are a couple different ways to take care of it right in your own home, and one that is more than just temporary. We help give you some advice for getting the best results and safety tips for each method.
1. Laser or IPL Hair Removal
Pulsed light is used to impair the hair follicle. While you can also get laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) done professionally, Tria and Silk’n are both FDA cleared for home use.
For Best Results: Each company will give you specific instructions on how many sessions to use on yourself, and how many weeks to wait between each session.
(Example: Use once every four weeks for six months).
Safety Tips: You must fall within a light skin tone range to safely use either of these models at home. Darker skin can burn or blister. These are high-tech devices, so read over all instructions and safety tips very carefully.
2. Depilatories (hair removal creams)
The depilatory basically breaks down the hair above the skin’s surface, so that you can wipe it off.
For Best Results: Wipe off a small area to see if it’s removing hair before taking off the cream from the entire area (without going over suggested maximum time).
Safety Tips: Do a patch test first before using, hair removal creams are a strong product. Don’t leave on longer than suggested in directions, and take off immediately if you feel burning.
3. Shaving
No doubt it’s the easiest and most common way to rid the hair, shaving cuts hair off at skin level.
For Best Results: Shave after at least five minutes into a shower or bath so the warm water and steam has time to soften skin and hair. Lightly exfoliate area right before shaving to rid dead skin cells and allow a closer shave. Use a good quality razor and shaving cream. For women, my picks are Art of Shaving, Shaving Cream for Women (compare prices) and Schick Quattro for Women (compare prices).
Safety Tips: Hair can grow in various directions, but make sure to shave in the opposite direction of hair growth to get a closer shave.
