How To Remove Body Hair

By Christian Lewis

Most people have at some point or the other had to face the problem of unwanted hair and have tried a number of techniques for hair removal. A number of factors such as the area and density of hair growth, your skin sensitivity and your skin type can determine the hair removal method most appropriate for you.

Shaving is the most common method of removing hair. Even though shaving is effective and cheap, the problem is that it is only short-term and you have to keep on shaving on a regular basis in order to ensure hair-free skin. For instance, men shave their beards every day. People also use shaving to get rid of unwanted hair from areas like chest or legs.

Waxing hair off the body is another alternative. It is a messy process, which generally cannot conveniently be done at home on your own. The benefit of waxing is that the hair is extracted from the root, and it takes a couple of weeks to grow back, providing freedom from unwanted hair for a longer time. However, you must keep in mind that waxing hurts and therefore, it is not appropriate for sensitive parts.

The third option is to apply a hair removal cream, which is simple to use and can be done by yourself. These creams do not hurt, but they are not as effective as waxing and hair grows back faster. There is another risk that your skin may react to the chemicals in the cream, resulting in a rash.

Those who have unbalanced hair growth over their bodies can opt for hair transplant from the areas with more growth to the areas with lesser growth. Such a procedure is usually complex and must be avoided if possible.

The last technique, also the most expensive, is laser hair removal treatment. The primary advantage of laser treatment is its everlasting nature. However, in order to prevent skin injury and scars, the treatment should be carried out only by skilled experts. - 29882
