3 hair removal techniques

Ready to bare a little more skin? Thinking about hair removal? These are the top hair removal techniques you might want to try.

1. Shaving is easy, inexpensive and can be done in the comfort of your own home. The drawbacks include the possibility of getting ingrown hairs and the fact that hair grows back quickly. You’ll need to shave every three to five days to stay smooth.

2. Waxing and sugaring are very similar, and only differ in the product used, not in technique. Hair is removed at the root ensuring that the effects last for up to a month. Hair also tends to grow back thinner. The main drawback is that these techniques can be painful. However, some people say sugaring hurts less because it doesn’t adhere to live skin cells like waxing does.

3. Laser treatment is the most expensive hair removal technique but can remove unwanted hair for good. Laser treatments work best for people with pale to medium skin and dark hair, so people with dark skin or pale hair may be out of luck.

No matter what technique you choose, protect your skin by using clean materials and visiting qualified technicians.
