- Removing Unwanted Body Hair Permanently
& Safely
- by Balaji B.
Both males and females have unwanted
hairs in their body. Everybody wishes to be fresh and energetic.
It can be done in a many number of ways according the level of
hairs in the body. It is found that around 80% of the women and
around 50% of the men are going for hair removal in some form
or the other. Facial hair removal is more popular among men and
women.

Hair removal in the hands, legs,
arms, underarms, bikini area, face, and eyebrows are commonly
practiced these days. Sports persons go for hair removal since
it will cut down the wind resistance and improve their competitive
speeds. There is a report saying that hair removal salons are
getting more and more men customers for removing hair.
Different devices are used for
hair removal in different parts of the body. Waxing, sugaring,
and electrolysis are the most preferred methods for permanent
body hair removal. Laser treatments are also used for permanent
body hair removal. Waxing is a method of hair removal in which
wax is applied over the hairs and then a cotton strip is rubbed
on the wax in the direction of the hair growth.
Waxing and sugaring are done
for male body hair removal. Waxing removes the hairs from the
roots and hence the regrowth of hairs in the removed area takes
between 6 to 8 weeks. After hair removal through waxing even
if the hair grows it is thinner and is sparser in the area. There
are not many hairs in that area. Upon further hair removal the
hair may go off permanently. Usage of a hair growth inhibitor
after male body hair removal through waxing is usually done to
reduce the growth of hairs in that area. |

Then the cotton strip is removed
in the opposite direction of the hair growth for permanent body
hair removal. Sugaring is also a method that is used for hair
removal permanently. The difference is the sugar paste instead
of wax for removal. Whether a person is using waxing or sugaring
he is advised to use a hair growth inhibitor after the removal
of hairs to prevent hair growth or to slow down the growth of
hairs.
Most of the sports persons who
are involved in the sports like swimming and cycling opt for
permanent body hair removal, since permanent body hair removal
would improve their speeds by reducing the air friction. There
are many devices that are used for permanent body hair removal.
Each device comes with its own functionality and ease of use
with a price tag that is affordable.
Electrolysis and Laser treatments
remove the hairs permanently from the skin. In these methods
the hair follicle is destroyed so that the hair does not grow
again. Electrolysis method uses needles to supply electric current
to the hair follicles. This electric current creates some chemical
changes or generates heat to destroy the hair follicles. In Laser

to destroy it. Laser treatments are costly when compared to other
methods of hair removal. |
