What is the best way to get rid of unwanted hair?
Getting rid of unsightly, stubborn hair on the body and face is such an annoyance! Why can’t someone just come out with a safe, permanent solution that works for everyone? Since that hasn’t happened yet we will just have to suffer with the methods that are currently available: waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, laser, IPL, and electrolysis. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each method:
Waxing ($$) The process of pulling out multiple hairs by the roots using cool or warm wax
Shaving ($) Cutting the hair off at the surface of the skin
Depilatory Cream ($) Chemically dissolving the hair to just below the surface of the skin
Laser ($$$) Damaging the hair follicle with laser resulting in semi-permanent to permanent hair reduction
Tip – Ensure that your laser technician has the proper experience and credentials with a long standing, good reputation
IPL Therapy: Intense Pulsed Light ($$$) Damaging the hair follicle with specific wavelengths of light resulting in semi-permanent to permanent hair reduction
Tip – Ensure that your IPL technician has the proper experience and credentials with a long standing, good reputation
Electrolysis ($$$) Damaging the hair follicle with electric current resulting in semi-permanent to permanent hair reduction
