Which Hair Removal Method Is Less Invasive?

By Cindy Craig


Hair. We are covered with it. Some have more than an ample growth while others grow them only in tufts or patches. Hair had different useful roles in those times when our prehistoric predecessors still lived in caves and slept on the soil. Hair furnished them with warmth, shade, and a fence to prevent insects from crawling and accessing body cavities.

At present, when most of us are now living indoors, an excessive growth of hair in parts of the body such as the face, legs, underarms, and bikini line are considered unsanitary. Women suffer all the more with this taboo, as unwanted hair may easily become a reflection of how well they take care of themselves.

Because of the the cultural opinion of the unacttractiveness of overbundant hair in women, many hair removal methods have been manufactured for this particular case.

Shaving cuts the hair off at the skin surface. It is the most practical of all hair elimination methods and also the most temporary way of keeping hair away.

Plucking - normally with the use of a pair of tweezers - is another hair removal process. Plucking hair off is painful for most people. Further, removing hair through this method takes so much time because one has to pull out the hair one strand at a time. Still one more thing: Anecdotal evidence pinpoints plucking as one of the main causes of infected sebum glands.

Another hair removal procedure is waxing. Waxing strips are warmed and then set on the legs. The hair strands adhere to the soft warm wax. Once cool enough, the strips are pulled off (ideally in the opposite direction of hair growth); the hairs are pulled up from their follicles.

A pain-free and more long-lasting procedure of hair removal uses laser technology. Laser hair eradication targets melanin within the hair gland. A high concentration of laser beam is aimed at the hair follicles; the beam vaporizes the melanin, thus discouraging hair growth.

If planning to have laser hair eradication, confer with a certified dermatologic medical practitioner to learn more about the advantages and risks of this technology. You need to do this for your own safety and protection.
