Those who decided to get rid of such an undesirable phenomenon instantly, that is, in just one session, it is recommended to try the procedure of photoepilation or electro-epilation. Of course, such sessions cost quite a lot of money, so I want to pay attention to waxing, plucking and other methods of hair removal. Such methods of removing unwanted facial hair are not necessarily performed in the salon, you are quite capable of exercising them yourself at home.
Let's look at the most effective methods of removing unwanted hair from problem areas. Of course, the procedure will need to be repeated on a regular basis to preserve the effect, but the result is worth it.
So, to the fair sex, wishing to forget forever the problem of the appearance of excess hair, I suggest electroepilation and photoepilation, as mentioned above. What is the difference between these methods and their essence?
Electrolysis. In this procedure, individual hairs that form part of the hairline are treated with a special needle that penetrates to the root, into the bulb of the hair follicle and transfers to it a weak discharge of electric current, which destroys the hair follicle and does not allow its growth in the future. By the way, this procedure lasts long enough, because each hair is treated separately. This should be taken into account before enrolling in the procedure. Nevertheless, the electroepilation method is still considered to be the most effective.
Nevertheless, this seemingly good method has its negative aspects. These include the considerable cost and painfulness of this procedure. For example, even a seemingly insignificant procedure for removing hair over the upper lip takes you from a dozen hours of precious time, and hair removal on the chin - a full fifteen. All of course individually and depends on the intensity of hair. In addition, the duration and number of electro-epilation procedures depends on the stiffness and speed of hair growth. On average, the cost of such a procedure varies between 20 - 100 euros per hour.
The next effective option for hair removal is the so-called photoepilation or laser hair removal. He, unlike the first, has a much shorter period of procedure and at the same time is very reliable. In the procedure of laser hair removal, hair follicles are exposed to light beams, which stops the growth of new hair almost forever.
With laser hair removal above the upper lip, the process takes only a minute, and the hair on the chin can be removed in just five minutes. Thus, we can conclude that with photoepilation can significantly save time, but, unfortunately, not money. It is worth noting that laser hair removal will cost you about $ 500 per procedure, and all you need to do about six sessions. The disadvantage of this method of hair removal is that when removing hairs that are lighter than the skin, they can appear again after a few months.
For women who do not have the opportunity to part with so much money, it is possible to try other procedures that will have to be repeated on a regular basis. Among such procedures, depilation with wax or sugar (shugaring), plucking of hair, hair removal with the help of a thread, depilation with the help of chemical agents, application of various inhibitors of hair growth can be distinguished.
But still the most popular among the listed procedures are depilation with sugar and wax. The fact is that it does not require significant monetary investments and is characterized by ease of implementation. In order to make a procedure for depilation at home, you need to purchase a special kit that is sold in any store.
If waxing or sugar depilation is done regularly, you can achieve significant results in combating unwanted hair formations. The essence of this procedure is that the heated warm (but not hot!) Wax is applied to the surface of the skin, and then the wax strip is removed by a sharp movement. It is not recommended to remove the strip slowly, since it is very painful. So, on your wax strip are all your unwanted hairs.
If you use sugar instead of wax, then this procedure is less painful, because such strips do not stick to the skin, unlike wax. Another advantage of depilation with sugar is that the composition of such products does not include the chemical constituents available in wax products. This means that irritation of the skin during depilation with sugar happens much less often.
When depilating with wax or sugar, the skin will remain smooth for about three to six weeks, but only hair that has a length of five millimeters can be eradicated.
The plucking procedure is pretty well known to all women, it involves working with only tweezers. At the same time it is required to stretch the skin and sharply pull out the hair with a forceps. Of course, such actions will take more time, but the skin will remain smooth until two months. It is worth noting that it is best to pull out the hair at a time when the pores are completely open, that is, after taking a shower. This will make the procedure for removing hairs less painful.
Depilation with the help of chemicals, one of the cheaper methods. It often causes irritation on the surface of the skin. Chemical depilation will ensure smoothness of the skin within two weeks, but before performing such a procedure it is necessary to make a sensitivity test in order to avoid an allergic reaction.
With regard to the use of hair retardants, they are used even before the appearance of a magnificent hairline. They affect the hair that is in the bud. Retardants of growth only simplify the process of future depilation due to the fact that make the hairline thinner and lighter. It is best to combine such funds with depilation with the help of wax or sugar, as well as in the procedure of plucking.
As a summary, I want to say that in no case should you shave. This method breaks the structure of the hair, splitting it. This only accelerates the growth of hair and makes them more rigid.
