Best Hair Removal Blog For Your Hair Removal Problem

So you noticed that you have a few chest hairs sticking out from your turtle neck or your bikini line needs waxing and you have decided to bear some permanent body hair removal. There’s actually only two decisions if you need to get rid of your body hair for good. You can either do electrolysis or you can do laser hair removing. Either way it may cost some money and some pain.
Lasers
Laser hair removal will often run the range between $200-$800 per treatment based totally on many things. These will include the area that you would like treated and the denseness and coarseness of the area. If you are extraordinarily hairy then you should be expecting to endure many treatments. Although there’s no recovery time if the process is done properly you may experience a bit of pain while undergoing the procedure. Even though it’s not deeply distressing.
side effects can include, darkening or lightening of the skin, swelling, redness, and possible infection. Also bare in mind that this process doesn’t work for all skin types and is better for those who have fair skin with dark hair.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is your other option, and although it is considerably cheaper it is also more painful, long and boring. Essentially what you are doing is electrifying each individual hair follicle to damage the root and stop new hairs from growing. If you are terribly hair you’ll see why this may be a time consuming process.
Thermicon Technology
There is another new method, and while it’s not permanent body hair removal it is reasonably long lasting and can considerably reduce the amount of hair that you grow. Also if you consider that this process can be done at home, and is much less expensive than either electrolysis or lasers you will see why you may want to consider a thing by the name of thermicons. This process warms up the hair follicle and retards the expansion of new hair. It then uses a razor to chop the hairs. This technique reduces new hair growth by as much as 65%, implying you can go months without shaving. It also eliminates nicks and cuts, it discomfort free and can be employed on all skin variations.

Laser Hair Removal is NOT PERMANENT, but it can last months to years. It may also cause PATCHINESS and acne. I had 12 treatments on my beard. It has left me with large patches and grid-like regrowth all over my face. Also lots of acne reactions. Please watch my video if you are considering getting laser hair removal anywhere on your body. Before you throw away thousands of dollars, know the facts. This video intertwines my horrible experience with laser hair removal and the facts straight …
Men and i want to have a full beard.
Oooh god, that’s a bad treatment. Those patches are like…hyperpigmentation or something. I’ve had 10 treatments myself to combat dense hair growth and my skin is baby smooth…
Bad luck on that one there
Laser doesn’t cause acne. In fact, these lasers are used to treat acne. It sounds like there is something else going on, i.e. it has to do with ingrowns, your age, hormonal changes, etc. See a dermatologist.
Laser is NOT for a “few hairs” situation. In those cases, it can stimulate the areas around those hairs that don’t have hair or have fine hair. Laser is ONLY for COARSE DENSE growth. Electrolysis is the only permanent solution for fine and sparse hairs.
Laser on a male beard is not a great idea unless it’s really necessary, i.e. it’s so bad you get constant ingrowns etc. Otherwise, the committment is not really worth it. You will never get to a point where you don’t have to shave at all and finding a clinic who really knows how to treat male beards is difficult.
Creams don’t burn. High settings on the laser burn.
You make complete perfect sense. I went to Romeo & Juliet in NYC (extremely highly rated for laser hair removal & its all the do) for my first treatment a week ago and everything went okay. In 5 days i go again for second treatment. I am west indian so they used a yag laser for my darker skin types. Also my technician has 10 years of experience when i did the free consultation. When it comes to laser hair removal the laser itself, the setting & the technicians experience is what counts the most.
You can use these creams but be VERY CAREFUL NOT to leave them on for long or else they can burn your skin. Believe me i know. I got burned. Too risky. Especially for your face.
Im 20 y.o guy, my beard isn’t thick or dense but I wanted to get this done becuase I just hate shaving. Kinda freaked out after seeing this. Question. If my beard isn’t as heavy or thick as older guys, does that mean laser (at my age) might work better?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Email me if you have any more questions about it!
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
hi
the only permanent hair removal systym is electroylosis ,this is where i very needle is slid into a folicle and the heat quaterises the blood supply to the folicle
even then there is 3 stages of hair groth and it is only fully effective at the first stage,2nd and 3rd stages the hair can grow back normally finer and weaker , you need to go to a qualified practioner for this ,
each hair is indivually treated so dependant on the area to be treated as to the time of treatment and length of each treatment ,
a top lip for example could be cleared in one or two sessions with a couple of follow up visits ,where as a full beard groth pattern would take 1 to 2 hours per week for two years ,
the sensation is of slight discomfort and a hotness in the skin if it is too painfull ask the therapist to reduce the setting on the machine ,but a balance has to be foud between your tolerance and a effective treatment,,where to go , a beauty salon with fully trained beauticians should have at least one qualified therapist,
laser treatment i am unsure about as from what i have read the laser is set to a depth and as hair follicles differ slightly in depth you are not going to treat evry hair in that area,
another thing to remember is that with any removal as you age dormant hair follicles can energise so you may get regroth that would need further treatment ,
hope this helps you
