Unwanted Hair Removal: The Variety Of Options

A lot of men and women experience unwanted hair which approximately affects around 50% of men and 80% o women. This situation causes a great interest for unwanted hair removal methods.

We all have different hair color and texture, skin sensitivity and the hair growth cycle also differs. That is why various methods will work differently for different people. That is why there is no one best method for everybody; people have various needs and budgets.

And whether you have look for unwanted facial hair removal or want to get rid of hairs from any other part of your body, look for treatments that may work best for you.

Let's start from

The Permanent Hair Removing Treatments

Electrolysis - some people say that this one is the only permanent way to remove hair. Well, the results can still vary, but the process is quite effective in general. Electrolysis is good for all body areas in general; the process involves inserting a thin metal probe into each follicle through this probe a small amount of electrical current is delivered to the follicle to damage it. This stops hair from growth.

If you go for the unwanted facial hair removal, from 4 to 12 hours of treatment may be required, depending on the particular area. Since you will probably need several treatments, the total cost may go for like between $100 to $1,000 for upper lip, and between $50 and $1,200 for the chin area. But the prices will differ according to the clinic.

Another popular method is laser hair removal. A beam of intense light is directed into the follicle where it heats the follicle and destroys it. So, the process is quite similar to the electrolysis, just the technology is different. Laser hair removing is very effective, almost painless, and rarely there do any side effects. We need to mention, that this method is more effective for light sin and hair, but there some types of laser hair removal equipment that can successfully deal with the dark skin and hair.

This one also requires several treatments, since hair follicles have different growth cycles. Typical cost for facial hair removing will be around $500 for an hour. But actually prices for laser hair removal are difficult to tell, since there are several factors that influence the final price, like clinic, skin type, area to be treated, etc.

These permanent methods are very effective, especially of the facial hair removal, so it is difficult to say what the best unwanted hair removal on upper lip or chin is. Try for yourself to find out!

Actually we need to mention one more way here: LHE (Light Heat Energy) technology which is one of the latest and belongs to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology. The official name of this modern method is Spa Touch LHE. It is the alternative to laser hair removal and electrolysis; the light energy gently penetrates the skin and affects the hair follicle without harming the surrounding skin. The advantage of this system before Laser and Electrolysis is that it can be used on any skin and hair type and color. And also it is ten time faster than the both.

Also there are temporary ways of removing unwanted hair. There are shaving, waxing, sugaring, using hair removal creams, and tweezers, epilators, threading or hair growth inhibitors. All these methods are also effective, usually easy to do, and can be applied at home. Some of them like threading will require some qualification; otherwise you can damage your eyebrow line. These methods can be painful, especially waxing, and their results are very temporary (for shaving you will have to repeat the procedure every week).

So, which method of unwanted hair removal to choose? As we said before, there is no singe answer to that; make a little research, consult with your doctor on your skin and hair type, and try one or other, and then you will know what works best for you. But don’t do it blindly, get advised by the professional and educate yourself a little on the subject.
