Hair Removal

Hair removal has recently become a larger part of westernised beauty regimes and expectations. Brought on by the perceived expectations and social norms created by the media, body hair removal is considered part of every day life for men and women alike. While in the past it was mainly women that were concerned with getting rid of unwanted hair, changing times have seen men jump on the band wagon and take an interest in unwanted hair removal technique.

Both men and women remove many different types of body hair, from facial, to head and bodily using an array of different methods of body and facial hair removal.

While some unwanted hair removal is simply fitted into every day life, some people suffer from excess amounts of unwanted hair in places like the face, bikini line and underarm. Women who struggle with too much hair in these areas often look for more advanced and more permanent methods of hair loss.

A new product, which is slightly different to common processes of hair removal like laser hair treatment or electrolysis, is the no!no! Hair. This revolutionary new product uses Thermicon technology to heat and burn hair and hair follicles in an effort to permanently destroy them, preventing regrowth. If women prefer to stick to more common methods, like laser hair removal, advanced products like the Rio Laser Hair Removal can do the job, from the comfort of your own home rather than a salon or beautician.

Hair Removal Methods

Shaving : shaving is the most widely used form of hair removal, mostly due to its convenience and its instant results. It only removes the hair above the skin though, so regrowth is very quick, it can take as little as a day for regrowth to start showing. Another downfall of shaving is that is can irritate the skin and cause rashes and ingrown hairs.

Plucking : plucking is mainly used on smaller areas where there is unwanted hair, and works particularly well if you are trying to shape something, like you eyebrows for example. It is quite painful and a time consuming method, but works effectively in areas with less hair. As it plucks hair from the follicle, it takes longer to grow back.

Depilation : apart from shaving, the most common form of depilation is hair removal creams. If you have a history of allergic reactions, seek the advice of your doctor before trying any hair removing creams though, as they can irritate sensitive skins. . Many hair remover creams are effective and also inhibit future hair growth.

Hot Waxing : waxing is a very effective, common method of hair removal. If done correctly, hair can take up to two months to grow back, as hair is removed from the follicle. It is considered the most painful method of removing hair however, and is prone to infections and ingrown hairs.

Permanent Laser Hair Removal : laser beam is considered a long-lasting hair removing technique as it generally destroys the hair and the hair follicle in the process. Because of this, hair regrowth can not occur at all, or up to 6 months after treatment. It is available in beauty salons or at home with products like the Rio Scanning Laser.

Electrolysis : electrolysis uses two primary hair removal methods to permanently remove hair. They are: galvanic (chemically destroys hair follicle) and thermolytic (uses heat to destroy hair follicle). It takes several months before any hair regrowth is noted if it grows back at all.

Oral Medications : These can be used if none of the hair removing methods seem to address your particular problem. These are not as common as obvious hair removing methods and products.

no!no! Hair : this new revolutionary hair remover treatment uses special Thermicon technology to remove unwanted hair. It also inhibits future hair regrowth by up to 64%. After regular use hair regrowth will take longer and hopefully cease.

Which Hair Remover Product is Right for you?

When selecting a hair remover product, it is important to consider your hair type, the thickness and colour of your hair, and how much time and money you are willing to spend for removing hair. Some products require regular, consistent use for best results while others are quick fixes, so it really depends on your lifestyle and how dedicated you are to permanently cease hair growth on certain parts of your body.
