Unwanted Facial Hair Removal - A Review
For women, facial hair is often a great embarrassment and results in emotional concerns as well. There are several ways to remove facial hair. For men this is usually done with shaving using a cream to soften the hair. For women this is not usually an option because their skin is softer and easily damaged.
So what are the various ways to remove unwanted facial hair? There are mild depilatory creams, plucking, waxing, laser surgery, threading, epilators and transdermal electrolysis.
When using a mild hair removal cream it is important to try some on a small area of your skin to determine if you will have an allergic reaction to the cream. Choose an area that will not show in case you do have a reaction - such as the upper underside of one of your arms. The creams will need to be used on a regular basis so, again, be aware that reactions to the chemicals it contains can occur later on.
Plucking and waxing are fine for small amounts of unwanted hair but are time-consuming and can be painful for many women.
Laser surgery is the method many people prefer, however, it can be expensive. There are different ways to apply the laser surgery so it is important to first consult with a dermatologist who can determine what is best for your skin type. Laser hair removal is gentler to the face than the above methods and lasts longer about 4 to 6 weeks.
Before treatment it is advisable to shield your face from the sun for at least a week prior to treatment. And, as with the depilatory creams, it is important that you first test for allergic reaction to the treatment and that the laser is set correctly for your skin type.
Some precautions have to be taken before you go for a laser facial hair removal treatment. The patient is advised to stay away from sun light for at least a week prior to the laser hair removal session. The laser device has to be set correctly for the skin color of the person. For this a patch test is done in a small area before implementing the entire procedure.
Epilators are a new invention for facial hair removal. They are easy to use and the effects last for about 4 to 6 weeks. There are many different designs and various price levels but you can find one for around $50. Epilators have tweezer discs that gently pull the hair out, including the follicle. It holds the skin tight and smooth so even the smallest hairs can be removed with little discomfort.
There are many different epilator designs. You can search online for the style and price that suits you.
Electrolysis is not a new treatment but a new procedure has been devised - transdermal electrolysis. With this new electrolysis procedure the operator can administer electrolysis to larger areas of skin to remove the unwanted hair by the follicles. It eliminates the need to use needles (pain) and is less costly than laser surgery. Kits are available to purchase for professional use or to use at home. Cost around $299.
