Advantages and Disadvantages of the Different Types of Hair Removal Techniques

Posted By: Healthy Life on September 30, 2009 in Hair Loss Treatments - Comments: No Comments »

Blade

Advantages: There are now new types of blades for female hair removal, which is perfectly adapted to the parts of our body and include a lubricant material (usually of aloe) in the base, leaving the skin smooth and moisturized. Furthermore after you remove the hair can apply a post-depilatory cream that will calm you. This typed of hair removal does not remove a lot of time, because only you have to apply to the skin and shave. There are products suitable for sensitive skin and reduce the risk of allergy to this type of hair removal.

Disadvantages: This method does not start from the root hair, but it shaved at skin level. I only recommend this method of hair removal in case of emergency, as the hair comes out more strongly, although not as much is said. Hair grows an average of 6.3 millimeters per month in the armpits and twice as fast, so i do not recommend this as a method of hair removal.

Hair removal cream

Advantages: It is a quick hair removal technique (5-8 minutes), painless and comfortable. There are also special creams for sensitive skin. With this method of hair removal there is no risk of skin cuts and it stays soft for longer as hair growth is softer and the skin is better hydrated. Previously, some creams irritated skin and even had a rather unpleasant odor, which has been fixed to be enriched with soothing and assets using perfumes with hiding power and stability.

Disadvantages: If you exceed the recommended waiting time to fold the cream, you may cause redness. Like the shaving knife, cut the hair but it started to root, although it is less aggressive.

Wax

Advantages: The warm wax leaves the skin red and it is recommended for women with circulatory problems. Requiring a minimum heating, can be done even in the microwave and is soluble in water, it is easy to remove. You can use the bands for your hair removal wax ready to use, you do not need heat. Only rubbing their hands, apply on the skin firmly and remove with a quick movement. They are easy to use, any place and occasion. As they have the same skin temperature, they are very good for people with circulatory problems. This is a very effective, plus durable. And you can wax at home and in professional beauty centers.

Disadvantages: In general, since wax is cold, warm or hot, this method is quite painful because the hair root starts.

Electric razor

Advantages: It is a very effective method of hair removal which removes the hair root through a series of small forceps. As the first models were quite painful, the new hair now employ the new distribution systems such as tweezers, massage or cool accessories.They are fast, comfortable and clean. As extracted from the hair root, if used every four weeks, hair will gradually decline as some call this method as semi-permanent. At present they have accessories like special heads for sensitive areas and to exfoliate the skin beforehand.

Disadvantages: This method does not peel like a wax and a few hairs tend to remain in some areas where the skin is thicker. Can be painful if you have much hair. Currently they are not as advanced to use in sensitive areas, although some include special devices that shave instead of pluck.

Laser

Advantages: It is the revolution that liberates women problems with hair wax, blades, razors…lasting, painless and apparently safe. It was initially advised three to four sessions and now the average is about eight intervals of 2-3 months, although this always depends on the type of hair and the treatment area.

Disadvantages: It is too early to know whether this is truly the definitive hair removal technique. The sessions can last from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the treated area. The biggest difficulty with the laser method is not only that the hair contains melanin, but also the skin. The eyebrow is an area not recommended because of its proximity to the eyes (requiring special protection). The sensation is similar to a burn, but being fast and better tolerated. People with darker skin feel a little tingling or itching. For highly sensitive to pain it is recommended to apply an anesthetic cream two hours before treatment. Immediately after the application of the laser. This is the most expensive method of hair removal.
