The excess of unwanted hair on the body as well as the face can cause quite a concern for many women. Fortunately, there are ways of getting rid of such unwanted body and facial hair, on a temporary or permanent basis. Based on which part of the body the hair needs to be removed from, options like shaving, waxing, threading, using creams, epilating, electrolysis or even laser procedures can be considered. Women who are comfortable with waxing for temporary hair removal can choose to undergo hard wax hair removal, sugar wax hair removal or hot wax hair removal, as they are some of the most common options. For a more permanent hair removal option, laser surgery is quite popular.
Hard wax hair removal
Hard wax hair removal is one of the most widely used methods to get rid of excess hair. This method of waxing is offered by most spas and salons but can be used at home too. One of benefits of hard wax hair removal is that waxing strips are not required in this technique. The hard wax needs to be heated in a warmer till it has a thick consistency. The area on the skin needs to be cleaned, before a thick coat of the wax is applied, with the help of a wax applicator. Then the wax needs to be left on the skin, till it cools down and hardens again. The wax can then be pulled off the skin, taking the unwanted hair with it.
Using laser surgery
The laser surgery hair removal procedure can be described as a medical process, where a powerful light beam, which basically is a laser, is used to get rid of the excess hair from the skin. When the laser beam is passed on to a single hair follicle on the skin, it causes permanent damage to the follicle, which halts the growth of hair. People who have thick hair, dark hair or light skin are usually benefited the most by the laser surgery hair removal technique. In some people the laser surgery only slows down the growth of hair. Therefore this procedure does not guarantee that the hair will be removed on a permanent basis.
However, the use of certain hair removal techniques may have an adverse effect on the body. Therefore, it is best to test a waxing technique like hard wax hair removal on a small patch of skin that is usually hidden, before using it on the entire skin. Laser surgery should also be considered, only after getting an approval from a medical health caregiver.
