What are the hair removal methods for female?

Through these root hair removal methods, women can eradicate body hair. It takes several weeks for the hair to grow back, and after it grows, the hair is usually softer and thinner than before. The best part is that root hair removal allows you to enjoy smooth skin for a long time-up to 4 weeks.

 

 

Epilating

Working principle:

Using a handheld hair removal device, it has a rotating tweezers head that you can move along the surface of the skin to remove hair while moving.

 

Application:

All parts of the body: legs, underarms, arms and bikini area.

 

Advantage:

The super smooth effect lasts for four weeks. This product will not stain the hair, and the new model is also equipped with additional accessories that can remove unwanted hair from specific areas such as the face.

 

Shortcoming:

It may be uncomfortable in more sensitive places.

 

Beauty rating:

The epilator can remove 0.5 mm short hair, unlike depilatory wax which requires 2 mm long hair to achieve the best results, so there is no need to wait for unsightly hair to regenerate.

 

Note from dermatologists:

Because during hair removal, the hair falls off from the roots, and when it grows back, the top of the hair tends to be tapered, which leads to a better appearance. In addition, regular hair removal can reduce the number of growing hairs.

 

 

Waxing

Working principle:

Apply hot or cold wax to the skin along the direction of hair growth. Then, once the hair has solidified, the fabric strips are smoothed and then quickly peeled off in the direction of hair growth while pulling the hair out. Another option is a pre-made wax strip.

 

Application:

Legs, bikini, eyebrows, underarms and upper lip.

 

Advantage:

Wax can keep the skin and hair free for several weeks, so you don't need to think about hair removal for a period of time.

 

Shortcoming:

It can be painful. In addition, you have to wait until the hair is long enough before you can shed it again, which may be a problem if you want to bare your legs or hate the feeling of hair regrowth. If you do it yourself, it may be messy, and if you go to a beauty salon, it may be expensive. Finally, wax may miss very short hairs.

 

Beauty rating:

If you feel that home hair removal every day is "troublesome" and you are ready to spend money on professional treatment, that would be great.

 

Note from dermatologists:

After waxing, the skin will remain dry. Then use a soothing lotion, preferably containing aloe vera.

 

 

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) method

IPL hair removal at home is a newer method of hair removal. It works with the flash that affects the regeneration of body hair. It is derived from professional methods used by dermatologists. Read on to find out what is special about this method and what to pay attention to when you consider using it.

 

 

Intense pulsed light

Working principle:

Focus a concentrated beam of light on a small part of the skin. The light will be absorbed by the pigments in the hair follicles under the skin surface, thereby heating the hair follicles, making the hair unable to grow according to the growth cycle. The whiter your skin and the darker your hair, the better the treatment effect.

 

Application:

Bikini, underarms, upper lip and legs

 

Advantage:

It's much faster than before, and the pain is less, because now large areas of skin can be treated at once. In many cases, hair is not encouraged to grow out, or even if it grows out, the hair will be very thin. With IPL at home, you can easily remove unwanted hair and treat it as needed, without the need for an appointment or additional costs.

 

Shortcoming:

The skin needs to be shaved before each treatment. The results are not permanent, so you need multiple treatments, and if you use IPL hair removal in a salon, it can be very expensive. You must also be careful about treatment in the sun for up to six weeks, because changes in skin pigmentation can increase the risk of sunburn. Hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause can also cause hair to grow back.

 

Beauty rating:

This is great for your real painful areas, such as the upper lip, but it is quite extreme as a normal hair removal option.

 

Note for dermatologists:

The working principle of the laser is to “target” the pigment in the hair, so the closer your hair color and skin color are, the higher the risk of burns and potential scars. Therefore, the ideal combination is dark hair with fair skin. If you Has darker skin, so be careful before using this method.
