Permanent Hair Removal
13 August 2009
Many people are very interested in not ever having to shave, wax or pluck again. There are several different processes that can greatly reduce the amount of hair on your body.
Electrolysis is the most effective way to achieve this. Electrolysis is a process where a wire or probe is placed into the hair folicle. The hair is then damaged by electricity that is passed through the wire. The damaged hair then does not grow as it did before. Each hair folicle needs to be treated, if the hair is to be reduced. The process should be performed by a trained professional and is sometimes painful.
Laser Hair treatment is another option. In this process, a laser handpiece is used to damage the hair folicle from the skin surface. The hair growth is then hindered. This is more effective as a hair reduction as opposed to hair removal. The results also depend on the color of the hair to be treated. There may be some restrictions as to which areas can be treated, particularly around the eye. There may also be some pain associated with these treatments. This process should also be performed by a trained professional and there are some restrictions with people who tan regularly.
There are also some prescriptions that have shown to reduce hair growth. If this option interests you, make an appointment with a dermatologist or your family doctor to discuss options. Some prescriptions will need to be taken for a lengthy period of time for any results to be seen, and the presciptions usually needs to be continued.
You have probably seen many different do-it-yourself options than you can do at home for permanent hair removal. Take caution when using these products. The above listed options are the most effective ways to remove hair.
It is important to note that all of the processes can vary with different people. Hair courseness, color, and skin condition and type make a difference in results. The options for hair removal can be expensive, especially if repeat sessions are needed. However, if the result is satisfactory, many people may consider the expense well worth it.
