Sooth skin with cold water to reduce redness and to ease pain. Use moisturizing creams with as natural ingredients as possible. Cheap creams you can find in every store are pretty much dangerous to the treated skin.
January 3rd, 2012 admin A depilatory, more precisely chemical depilatory is a cosmetic preparation, which is used to remove hair form the skin. A common active ingredient used is calcium thioglycolate, which helps to weaken the hair so it is easily scraped off from where it emerges.
As the preparation is also rich in keratin, it may irritate the skin and make it more sensitive if it’s left on for too long. Depilatories are mostly used for the arms and legs. You shouldn’t be using it on the face unless it is specifically listed for that purpose on the product’s label.
Chemical depilatories are available in many forms like in gel, lotion, cream, aerosol, roll-on, and powder forms. Common brands include Nair, Magic Shave and Veet.
Pros: Simple method, completely painless and appropriate for all parts of the body. Depilatory cream almost dissolves hair and at next growth hair are not as hard as after shaving. It can easily be done at comfort of your home. Available over-the-counter.
Cons: The effects only last for a short time. Re-growth of hair appear within 2-5 days. Depilatory creams are not suited for individuals with very sensitive skin. A lot of people are allergic to them, that is why it is smart to do a test beforehand. Creams can have unpleasant smell so you may consider buying new ones with added scent.
First tip would be don’t decide for this method at all as creams contain too much chemicals which have negative effect on your skin and health. If however you insist in using depilatories be careful to use appropriate cream for appropriate part, for example cream for legs is not suitable for facial hair removal. Because of aggressiveness it should not come in contact with mucous membrane.
January 3rd, 2012 admin The practice of electrical epilating to remove human hair permanently is called electrology. The actual process of removing the hair is called electrolysis hair removal.
The practitioner smoothly puts a solid thin metal probe into every follicle of the hair.If inserted properly it does not puncture the skin.
Electricity is through the probe delivered to the follicle, which causes localized damage to the areas that generate hairs.
Three methods are used in electrology. First one is galvanic. This method as electrolytic cell uses a body itself. Power supply delivers 0 to 3 milliamperes trough the body. The probe is the cathode of an electrolytic cell. With the process of chemical electrolysis kills the hair matrix cells.
The second method is thermolysis also known as RF, shortwave or diathermy. Thermolysis works by heating the hair matrix cells to about 118°F (48°C), causing electrocoagulation.
The last method is called blend and it is a combination of galvanic and thermolysis, which uses both RF and direct current, combining many of the advantages of both mentioned procedures.
The practitioner selects a probe that slides easily into the hair follicle. When inserting the probe a great care is given to insert it at the same angle as hair growing out of the skin.
Process starts with lowest setting of the electricity and is increased as the process continues. If patient is experiencing significant discomfort, the settings can be lowered. Complete removal of facial hair takes between 1 to 4 years, with an average treatment length of 2 years.
Pros: You can remove annoying hair once for always. Regardless of color of the hair, with needle and electrical current each hair is removed separately – forever. Pain is short and is more unpleasant than painful.
Cons: Electrolysis hair removal is long and expensive procedure. It is recommended for smaller areas. For one leg only 50 hours of treatment would be required. Sometimes already removed hair appears again, due to a new hair which was already growing underneath and wasn’t reached by a needle. For the permanent hair removal more treatments are required in a period of one month.
Before procedure have a talk with a specialist because skin needs to be prepared – it needs to be cleaned and softened. Demand and make sure that NEW needle is used for your procedure.

January 3rd, 2012 admin Dark coarse hairs respond best to laser hair removal. Dark hair and light skin are best combination, although newer lasers are capable of treating patients with dark hair on dark skin as well.
This procedure has become very popular to remove hair permanently, mainly because of its speed and efficiency.
The success of the treatment depends on the skill and experience of the practitioner, and the choice and availability of laser technology.
There are typically 6-8 treatments required for laser hair removal, spaced 8-12 weeks apart for long-term reduction of hair. Number of sessions depends on the type of hair and skin color of the patient, as well various parameters, including the area of the body treated, coarseness of hair, reason for hirsutism, and sex.
Laser does not work on light-colored hairs and most fine hair of any color. In this case you should consider electrolysis removal of hair. Patient should wait to see enough hair come in after the hair-free period to have another treatment.
Normal side effects that may occur after procedure include itching, redness and swelling around the area treated. Some pain will also follow the treatment. Side effects of laser hair removal should not last more than three days.
If some of the unwanted side effects occur like hyper- or hypo pigmentation or burning of the skin it is required to adjust laser settings immediately. Some of the other risks include discoloration of the skin, flare of acne, swelling around the follicle, purpura, and infection.
Pros: After sixth repetition of procedure at 80 percent of women with average hair, hairs don’t appear again and experts ensure smooth skin from one to ten years. This method only takes few seconds with little pain.
Cons: At individuals with very light hair, results are not so good because laser don’t senses them. Laser hair removal is permanent hair removal system but very expensive one which needs to be repeated several times. With one visit we don’t achieve anything yet.
When you decide to undergo laser treatment, you must remove hair only with shaving 1 month prior to procedure. On the day of treatment do not apply anything onto the skin (lotions, creams,…). Between one and another visit you must take care of depilation yourself. Most suitable is depilatory cream, because after waxing, laser don’t operate properly. In that period too much exposure to the sun, visiting solarium and using chemical products for tanning is not advised.
January 3rd, 2012 admin One of the oldest methods of hair removal is plucking – a process of removing hair by pulling either with fingers or with tweezers. This process is usually used for eyebrows and other facial hair and effects can last up to three weeks. This is cheap method and can be done at your home. It is useful to remove small number of stray hairs.
When using tweezers be sure to sterilize them beforehand to avoid any possible infections. Common side effects that can arise from this method are ingrown hairs, pitting and scarring.
Pros. A fast and easy method that costs close to nothing. Effects of plucking can last up to three weeks which is, compared to shaving for example, one of the longest lasting treatments of short-term hair removal.
Cons. It can be very painful process. If done improperly some side effects like ingrown hairs or pitting or scarring can arise. When only starting with this procedure, skin around the place where hairs were plucked can sometimes form small red swelled dots. As skin will get used to it, those side effects will go away.
It is always a good idea to sterilize tweezers before using them. Plucking should not be used on nose hairs in order to avoid dangerous infections.
January 3rd, 2012 admin Women are concerned if they have excess facial hair and fight against it with various methods. Some do not even consider facial hair removal due to many different reasons. Men can have problems with constant shaving as well and decide to undergo waxing or some of the more permanent solutions.
Many methods exist to successfully remove hairs from face. You may consider permanent laser or electrolysis procedure, waxing, sugaring, threading or simply using tweezers. It is up to you to wage between price, lasting and pain.
Women mostly use tweezers to pluck hairs from face and shape eyebrows. It can be a long process pulling out one hair at a time. A better, some say a much better approach for facial hair removal is by threading technique – an ancient method originating in Persian world, still very popular to this day, which recently started to gain on popularity in Western countries as well.
It is a simple method using only a 24 inches (60 cm) of good quality thread. Tied together and rolled around 10 times to create a wound part in the middle is ready to remove even the strongest hair from the upper lip or eyebrows. Read more about threading in article found on the right side of our website.
For those with small hairs hair bleaching or waxing is also recommended. First one does not really remove hairs but merely hide them. Waxing on the other hand may be very painful and is not women’s first choice for facial hair removal.
For medium size hairs depilatory may be appropriate, but it is well known fact that depilatory creams contain strong chemicals that potentially harm your skin and health.
For those with rough hairs laser treatment may be their best option. It will reduce hairs for 80 – 90% and those will not grow back for another 3 to 5 years.
January 3rd, 2012 admin Nowadays it is somewhat inappropriate for a woman to leave hairs grow freely on her legs. There is no rule as to what a woman should do about this, so it is simply up to the individual whether to follow social norms or not.
Women usually decide to practice leg hair removal as teenagers and after awhile they might get to the point where shaving almost every day starts to bother them. They either leave legs alone for few more days before shaving or start looking for alternative ways like waxing or depilatory creams.
For those who swear on shaving, few important rules should be noted, if you are not already familiar with them by now. For starters, a best time to shave your legs is right after you shower while still being under shower. Your skin will be warm and soft and your hairs more willing to be removed.
To avoid some of the side effects often being the case with leg hair removal use a lot of shaving cream, which will prevent too much friction.
If looking for alternative ways to deal with unwanted hairs you may consider waxing or sugaring your legs or using more permanent ways like electrolysis hair treatment or laser procedure. Depilatory creams may be used as well but we do not recommend them simply because of too much aggressive chemicals used in them.
Both waxing and sugaring use pretty much the same techniques, the difference being in the paste or spread that is used to remove hair. After applying paste over the skin, a paper strip or cloth is used to remove wax along with hair. This usually results in a lot of pain, which is the main reason a lot of women steer away from such leg hair removal method.
Finally, you can save a lot of money, head to a good cosmetic saloon in your area and undergo laser hair removal. It is a treatment consisting of 5 to 8 visits separated by month or two with biggest downside being heavy cost. Depending on the size of the area treated it can cost you from few hundred up to few thousand.
