Both men and women hate the hair that grows on their bodies. Women dislike their legs, face or underarms from growing hair and men may have problems with hair growth on their backs, stomachs or face. Whether you live in Cincinnati, OH or anywhere else, you may decide to consider the different types of hair removal possible through technology and age-old favorites.
Shaving
The most common way to remove hair is to shave it off. This is the removal process that most men and women use though it is a temporary method and the hair will grow back. While the benefit of shaving is that it is less expensive than other options, there are a few drawbacks.
First, you must be careful with the razor you use as it could prick the skin and cause slight pain and discomfort. You will also find that, over time, the hair may grow back quicker, thicker and darker. This means that after years of shaving your underarms, legs and other areas, the hair will start to look darker and will become thicker, causing you to need to shave more often.
Another problem with shaving is that when hair starts to grow back, the “stubble” can be extremely annoying or itchy, depending on your body. Most men and women need to shave daily in order to keep a smooth, fresh-looking area.
Waxing
Another common way to remove hair from certain areas of the body is to wax. While there are home varieties, most people prefer to go to a waxing salon to have a professional do the job. Warm wax is placed on the area in the opposite direction of hair growth and then a clean cloth is placed over the wax. The cloth is pulled off in the opposite direction, pulling out the hairs, as well.
This option is painful and can cause swelling, so it should be done a few days before you go out. However, your hair will stay gone a little longer.
Laser Removal
Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular in Cincinnati, OH and other areas because it is very long-lasting. Light is emitted from the laser system at different wavelengths. Hair follicles are “burned” away, which allows a lot of time before you must have the treatment done again. Follicles can grow back, so this option is not considered permanent.
There can be slight discomfort with this treatment, but there is no downtime.
Hair removal in Cincinnati, OH has come a long way from regular shaving and waxing. Consider a laser treatment today through Anderson Cosmetic & Vein Institute.
