Permanent Hair Removal

Don’t you feel like hiding away that ‘hair-there-everywhere’? Having more hair than that on the body of a bear could be a genetic or hormonal imbalance. This could be caused by medications like steroids or hormones, polycystic ovarian syndrome or even higher androgen levels.

It is really embarrassing to have hair at all unwanted places like cheeks, neck, upper-lip, stomach, back, back of your hands, feet, and other prominent areas of your body. Waxing them off, shaving them, applying irritating crèmes, using epilators, and what not is a big hassle.

The worst thing is that hair comes back within days of its removal and you have to repeat the cycle. Is there something like permanent hair removal? Not really, as it is advertised on national daily’s and magazines. Though they call it permanent hair removal, but the fact is that no treatment is a complete guarantee. The hair is removed to a certain extent, but not forever, not permanently as it is advertised.

There are different techniques of “permanent hair removal”. Use of chemicals, electricity, and lasers is done. It could be a combination of one or two. Electrolysis is considered a good way of permanent hair removal. In the process a hair-thin metal probe is put into the follicle of a hair without damaging the skin and an electric pulse is given to that. In this way, the follicle is made inept of producing any more hair.The problem with this permanent hair removal system is that it is done on every hair follicle and takes a lot of sittings. This way it becomes a very expensive method. It may also cause a lot of discomfort to the skin. You can save money  and do it in privacy with at home electrolysis equipment, but be notified that it takes time, commitment and some skills. Use Silk’n SensEpil (around 500$) or Clean + Easy Deluxe Electrolysis Home.

Laser is another permanent hair removal method. A laser is used in the process where beams of light treat a larger area of hairy skin. The process is less painful than thermolysis, but is more expensive. It is not permanent and not for everyone. Lasers work by emitting light at various wavelengths, energy output, and pulse widths. Most lasers used for hair removal target melanin and are therefore designed to burn structures that contain melanin. In general, laser facial hair removal works best in those with dark hair on lighter skin; blonde, red, or gray hairs are generally less responsive to laser hair removal treatment. It appears that laser treatment, while not causing permanent destruction of all hair follicles, does retard the regrowth of new hair. Most people require a series of 4-6 laser hair removal treatments over time to gradually remove unwanted facial hair. Some people may experience some re-growth, even after multiple treatments. Laser hair removal can be done on almost every part of the body. Nevertheless the common areas which are generally treated are the underarms, tummy line, arms, necks, legs and even on the upper lips.

For unwanted facial hair, try Vaniqa, the only prescription topical cream approved by the FDA and clinically proven to reduce the growth of unwanted facial hair in women. Vaniqa works by inhibiting an enzyme that is needed for cell reproduction and other cell functions necessary for hair growth. Using Vaniqa doesn’t mean you don’t have to deal with unwanted facial hair anymore. Vaniqa works by slowing the growth of hair rather than just removing it. Vaniqa complements your current method of hair removal by reducing the rate of hair growth, so over time you should be removing UFH less frequently.

Whatever choice you make, just be sure that you’ve consulted a doctor before getting permanent hair removal.
