Hair
Removal Treatment Options There
are a number of options for people looking into hair removal
possibilities. With hair removal becoming more and more
popular as years go by, there have been a number of advancements
made and new products created that have given hair removal
customers a variety of options. However, since there are
now so many different types of hair removal methods available,
it can sometimes be difficult for people to determine which
hair removal method is best for them.
The
newest hair removal method to be put on the market
is laser hair removal. Since advancements of all types
of procedures using lasers have become more and more advanced
in recent years, it is no surprise that lasers are now
being used to remove hair. A wavelength of energy is omitted
by the laser, working to kill the hair from its base. The
most appealing characteristic of laser hair removal is
that after a small number of treatments your hair should
be completely dead and you will never have to worry about
hair on that specific portion of your body again. Laser
hair removal treatments can be spread out farther than
other types of hair removal treatment since the laser hair
removal process slows the growth of hair. Laser hair removal
may seem like the most appealing hair removal procedure
but there is a downside. Since laser hair removal is a
relatively new procedure and can be high in demand compared
to the number of specialists licensed to practice the procedure,
the cost of laser hair treatments can be relatively high.
In comparison to the other methods of hair removal, laser
hair removal is by far the most costly.
A
method similar to laser hair removal but that has been
around much longer is that of electrolysis. When removing
hair by electrolysis, the technician uses a needle that
projects an electric current into the hair follicle, killing
it at the root. By sending the current directly to the
root of the hair follicle it prevents hair from growing
back in the same spot. Although it may take longer than
laser hair removal, electrolysis is another way to permanently
remove hair in a certain area. Like laser hair removal,
this takes a number of repeat appointments for treatment.
Electrolysis often requires treatment for anywhere up to
a year to a year and a half for the hair to be completely
removed. Like laser hair treatment, electrolysis can cause
some discomfort and pain during treatment when the electric
current is killing the hair follicle but it should not
last longer than a few minutes after the treatment has
ended.
A
long used method of hair removal is the process of
removing hair using depilatories. Depilatories are made up of a
chemical mixture that is applied to a region of unwanted
hair. Once applied, the depilatory is left on the hair
from anywhere from three to fifteen minutes depending on
the size of the area and the amount of hair being removed.
Once the chemicals have had time to kill the hair, the
depilatory is removed and the area of skin is smooth and
free from hair. Unlike laser hair removal and electrolysis,
using a depilatory is completely pain free and can be done
in the privacy of your own home. A number of depilatories
are sold at local supermarkets. However, for people with
sensitive skin depilatories may not be the right way to
go about removing unwanted hair. Since depilatories contain
such strong chemicals in order to kill the hair, they often
cause skin irritation for people who are prone to having
sensitive skin. Depilatories also typically require repeat
treatments considerably sooner than both electrolysis and
laser hair removal.
Another
hair removal treatment that has been popular for years
is that of waxing. Waxing can be done by professionals
in a salon or can be done in your own home with one of
many self-waxing kits sold in stores. Waxing requires hot
wax to be poured on the area and then removed by having
strips stuck on and pulled off along with unwanted hair.
Although this method is often painful, it is cost effective
and can last a while, which keeps many customers coming
back for more. #
