Finding Natural Permanent Hair Removal
Category: Permanent Hair Removal | Jan 27, 2010 |
Unfortunately, there are not any natural permanent hair removal methods on the market today, unless you count light and electricity as natural means of hair removal since they occur in nature. The only methods of removing hair permanently are to use electrolysis or to use lasers to kill the roots of the hairs and get rid of unsightly hair. These methods of hair removal are very costly, with laser hair removal costing about five hundred dollars per session, with four sessions being required, and electrolysis costing up to one hundred dollars per hour, with sessions taking at least an hour and about four total being required to achieve good results.
Natural Methods
Although there is not natural permanent hair removal, there are some methods that are natural and allow individuals to achieve semi-permanent results. One popular method of natural, semi-permanent hair removal for facial hair removal is sugar waxing. In this method the wax is all natural and is applied in a heated state to the problem area. It is allowed to cool slightly which allows it to bind to the hairs of that area before being removed quickly, pulling out the hairs by the roots.
This method usually lasts about two weeks before requiring it to be repeated as other hairs grow into the area, since hairs grow in cycles. The reason this method of natural hair removal is semi-permanent is because the hairs of that area thin out over time as some of the roots are killed from being pulled and do not grow back.
Plucking is another method of semi-permanent natural hair removal that is used on the face, sometimes in conjunction with sugar waxing. Plucking works the same way as sugar waxing, pulling out the hair by the root. It is a much more tedious version of semi-permanent natural hair removal because it requires individuals to pull out hairs one at a time rather than being able to remove many at once. Neither of these methods is especially good to use on the legs since it is painful and the leg area has so much area to cover.
There are some other natural hair removal methods such as using a pumice stone or other rough stone to use friction and rub off the hair in a certain area. This is not really a viable option for the face, but can be used on the legs. In addition, the results do not last as long as waxing or plucking since it only rubs off the tops of the hairs rather than pulling by the roots.

Help answer the question aboutpermanent hair removal
I really need to know what PERMANENT hair removal system is best to invest in, with effective results?I have tried, foolishly, the Finally Free ''Permanent'' Hair Removal Kit. It was a load of rubbish, didnt work (not one hair was removed after several attempts), and feel angry about spending a lot of money on a scam. Please advise me what other techniques are permament, reliable and effective without having to pay for it professionally. Thanks.
Lasers which are really expensive.
They have some home lasers but I've never used them so I don't know if they work.
for PERMANENT hair removal laser treatment is all that is permanent babe.
how much it costs?????
Congrats on the mention in todays New York Times! June 26th Styles section.

You probably can’t, sorry.
And if you can I’m sure you don’t want to be playing with that stuff. Since the part of the follicle that grows is so deep in the skin to do enough damage to it would require a very powerful and possibly caustic substance that may very well give you second and third degree chemical burns on the skin surrounding the follicle.
Electrolysis, laser and scaring are the only things I know of that permanently remove hair and they do so by destroying the root irreparably. Any cream that can destroy a root irreparably is kind of a scary thought.
Ok, let me try to help you =)
I bought a Tria about a year ago and used it twice on my bikini area then sold it. I saw a loss of about 10% of the hair, which is still awesome because it's permanent. It hurts not that bad but it seems worse because you have to do it to yourself. It only runs about 20 minutes on a single charge and takes 4 hours to charge back up. I found it very hard to cover my bikini area in 20 minutes because you have to pick it up and set it down for every light pulse, which is about the size of a dime. The lasers at the clinic pulse repetitively as they glide it over your skin quickly, it is MUCH faster. Also, the Tria is a class 1 laser, the ones in the salons are a class 4, so they are 4 times more powerful, effective, and painful. I ended up going to a medspa and I've really enjoyed it so far. The tria cost me $1,000 And to get 6 sessions of my legs, underarms, and bikini area, for permanent smoothness cost me a total of $4,000… And it's definitely worth 4 times the price. The tria will be a flop because of the kinks that make it difficult to use. I recommend saving up and getting it done at your dermatologist, clinic, or medspa. OK! Here's my standard laser hair removal answer if it help you any, I just wanted to add a little to it! =)
Okay… science answer:
You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage.
Okay…
Personal Experience:
I've had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! I've had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips spart to laser all the cracks… It's sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I've had so far I've lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It's because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works.
I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area:
Bikini-$750
Underarms-$750
Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

walgreens honey
besides laser hair removal, which yes might take 7 month to see full results but will give you results right away, you can wax, it is not permanent but it takes forever for it to grow back, howeverr, if you wax the area you are get lasered you ruin the progress of the laser
this is not ture…
god why ppl keep lying about this???
i’ve asked contacted a laser hair removal center around my area (they are high tech) and they said its not permanent hair removal!! just the permanenet hair reduction procedure…
it will just gonna help u to have “less hair, less coarse”
Ive been getting my eyebrows and lip waxed for about 10 years now, and while the pain stings, it hurts a whole heck of a lot less than tweezing each individual hair. If I shave its back the next day, waxing new hairs start a few days later, but about 2-3 weeks before its back like it was before.
I have REALLY dark thick hairs on my arms and legs. I finally decided to get my arms waxed, and my goodness I wish I had done it a long time ago! The arm hairs did start growing back within a week, but very few and they were much finer. I had tried all those do it at home wax strips and they had never worked before, now they do as long as I do it weekly to get the light new growth. The arm waxing really did not hurt very much. Once they rip it off you'll sting for about 10 seconds, and its gone! No more pain than like a belly flop in a pool.
Sadly I have found nothing for doing it at home that works permanently. I've tried so many things, so if you find something that works, Id love to hear it!!
Good luck
Permanent hair removal should be done by a professional. Any home kit cannot promise you permanent removal.
There are two home options that will gradually decrease hair growth:
1. Waxing – It is way easier to visit a pro for this, but it's totally possible to do on your own. Visit a beauty supply store that sells to the public for the equipment. GiGi supplies work best in my opinion. Waxing pulls hair by the bulb. Once the bulb is pulled out hair will not grow back. But, you don't always get the bulbs pulled out, so it may take years before the area is completely hairless, if ever.
2. Depilatories – Nair or Veet-like products. Not good for everyone, it burns my skin. The coarser the hair, the longer it has to stay on, and the higher the risk for burns. Depilatories turn the hair into a jelly-like mass and then it is wiped away. Again, it may take years to rid completely of the hair, if ever.
Professional methods include electrolysis and laser removal. Both might take a few visits and the place you choose for your services should have a good reputation. They are costly, but get the job done.
the reason it takes so long is that there are different hair cycles so some follicles might not even grow out till later in life , but it does reduce the visible amount of hair, it does kill the follicles , and yes it can be expensive. and if done enough time it will completely remove alot of the hair and then you would just go in for occasional touch ups , for example once every 4-5 years.
