Cosmetic Hair Removal

Cosmetic hair removal has long been a pursuit of men and women alike. Because it is typically an elective process, it is labeled as "cosmetic." However, there are many ways you can remove hair with or without a professional cosmetic procedure.

Types of Cosmetic Hair Removal

There are two basic forms of cosmetic hair removal: depilation and epilation. Depilation involves those processes that only remove hair at the epidermis and above. Shaving is the most basic of these methods. Chemical creams and solutions are also popular options. The results are immediate, but last only a day or two before regrowth occurs.

Epilation processes are those that remove the entire hair above and below the skin's surface. These methods are longer lasting, as a rule, and are therefore typically more expensive. A professional must perform some, while others may be done at home. Home remedies include waxing strips, sugar strips, and plucking or tweezing. You can use the services of a cosmetic hair removal expert for other methods, including waxing, threading, electrolysis, and IPL (Intense Pulse Light) or laser hair removal.

Generally, there is little to no pain involved with depilation techniques. Epilation methods can be quite uncomfortableâ€"especially waxing processes. However, laser hair removal can present a virtually painless option for those seeking permanent results.
