Types of Permanent Hair Removal

Permanent hair removal is a perfect solution for those with excess body hair. While no clinical study clearly indicates a completely successful method guaranteeing permanent hair removal, many effective choices exist for permanent hair removal of the back, chest, legs, pubic area and face. Permanent hair removal includes depilatory creams, waxing, electrolysis, and laser hair removal.

Waxing requires applying cold or hot wax to body hair and then stripping it off to remove hair from below the skin. Depilatory creams are applied above the skin. Waxing and depilatory creams can be inexpensive in the short-term, but these permanent hair removal methods have disadvantages. It can be difficult to apply depilatory cream to the back every few days and waxing can be painful.

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal practice using electrified needles to remove hair from underneath the skin. Laser hair removal can cover large areas of body hair in a short amount of time. While several visits might be required, permanent hair removal by laser can be the least expensive and most effective.
