Hair Removal
Unwanted hair in areas of your body
affects both men and women. It can be embarrassing as well as
interfere with relationships and your career. It can be
hereditary or simply body changes including pregnancy and
menopause. If you develop sudden hair growth, it is important
to contact your doctor because it could be a sign of a medical
condition.
Hair grows in follicles in different
colors and sizes. Hair can grow close to the skin or loosely.
These factors make the process of hair removal difficult and
often painful. Tweezing and shaving is the most often used
removal method. It is painful and time consuming. More than
likely the hairs will grow back. Shaving is another often used
method, but again it is very likely the hairs will grow
back.
There are various other types of hair
removal available. The type that is right for each person
varies depending on the type of hair, where the hair is, how
deep in the skin the hair is, and the sensitivity of the
person’s skin. Prescription creams must be used at least twice
a day to be effective. They can be effective, but often
irritate the skin causing redness and the possibility of a
rash. The hair is going to grow back, so you will need to
continue using the cream.
Waxing is a popular option, mainly
used by women. While the hair will grow back, waxing generally
keeps the area free of hair for up to six weeks. Many find this
process to be painful. Waxing can cause skin irritation and
ingrown hairs. It is important to be sure the person doing the
waxing is trained in the process. Serious burns can occur if
waxing is not done correctly.
Electrolysis is a method that sends an
electric current through a needle to the root of each hair.
This process takes several procedures to remove the hair. It is
commonly used by women to remove hair from the upper lip. This
process is generally painful, time consuming, and very
expensive.
While unwanted hair can make us feel
unattractive, the options for removing it sound painful. I
guess a person will have to decide if vanity is more important
that a few minutes of pain every few weeks!
