Permanent Hair Removing Procedures

Who doesn’t want smooth, flawless, silk-to-touch skin? But hair removing procedures doesn’t really mean “permanent” when they say so. Permanent in case of hair removing means a month or even a year.

But some hair removal procedures destroy the hair follicles completely and hair doesn’t grow again. We give you complete information about the various hair removing procedures, so that you make a wise decision.

Electrolysis:

In this method, a hair-like metal plate, delivering electric current, is inserted in to the skin. The electric current destroys the hair follicles. But the disadvantage of this process is that it is very painful and expensive. One needs to have a lot of patience to undergo this hair removal therapy.

Laser:

Laser hair removal is much in vogue these days. A light of specific wavelength is delivered through the skin. This damages the hair follicles and also the tissues around it. But this is again, a painful process and expensive too.

Flash lamps or intense pulsed light:

This method is cost effective but unsuccessful at times. It doesn’t work on unpigmented hair and hence isn’t very common. In this process, filtered light is made to pass through the skin to damage hair follicles.

Other cheap and quick methods:

Apart from costly, painful and tedious methods of hair removal, there are other less painful, inexpensive and cost effective ways of hair removal. Waxing, threading, hair removal cremes provide hair removal for a short span of time. But these are more common and inexpensive.

Disadvantages of cheap methods:

Hair removing cremes, waxing or threading if continued for a long time can lead to discoloration of the skin and even black patches. It is advisable to use them less.

So, now you know which hair removal process to go for! Remember, most hair removal therapy are temporary (maximum a year). So, make wise decisions.
