Facial Hair Removal
Having hairless
facial skin that comes out
smoother and silkier must be the dream of every man and woman in every decade.
Over the
years, many methods were introduced in getting rid of unwanted hair on the face area especially the eyebrow and
upper lip area for the women and on the mustache and beard areas for the men.
They are now both seeking newer alternatives in getting rid of unsightly facial hair.
“Facial Hair Removal is one of the most wanted beauty
treatments, from both men and women.”
While there are already quite a number who turns to
cosmetic procedures such as laser treatment or electrolysis, there are still many who are using the more
conventional methods like shaving, tweezing, waxing or using depilatory creams.
Shaving is an easy way to get
rid of facial hair. It provides only temporary results though and is not a recommended type of facial hair
removal for women who might also have unwanted h air problems
especially on the upper lip.
Hair regrowth with shaving tends
to come as rapidly as they were shaved.
Tweezing is a good alternative
in getting that bothersome facial hair off your face as the method calls for
plucking the hair out by the root resulting in the hair taking longer to grow back. It is a somewhat painful
procedure though and is only commonly used along the eyebrow area.
 Another painful but effective method of getting rid of unwanted facial hair is
waxing. This method, that is usually done at every four to six weeks, is performed by applying hot or cold wax
to that part of the skin where there is unwanted hair. The hair is taken away after the wax, to which the
hairs have already been appended to, is pulled off. You should test the wax for possible allergic reaction on
a small patch of skin before you use it. Wax should also not be used on skin that has been burned by the sun
or irritated.
If you want a gentler way to get rid of that unwanted hair, using depilatory products could be the answer for
you. These products that come in gel, cream and lotion forms has a formulation that contains a hair
structure-altering chemical that results in the easy removal of the hairs.
You must use a specially-formulated facial depilatory product as the chemical could be an irritant to the skin.
Before product use, it is best to always perform a skin test on a small patch of facial skin. Directions for the
use of the product should be followed for chemical burns and irritation avoidance. Its results will only last up to
several days.
If you want to use a method that would ensure permanent facial hair removal, then you could go by using
electrolysis. It is a type of hair removal that uses an electric current to destroy the roots of hairs. This may
require several treatments though as because the process calls for the destruction of each hair follicle one at a
time. Hair removal through electrolysis is not advised to be done for more than 15 minutes per session.
Another method that could result in the permanent removal of hair after a number of treatments is the hair
removal through laser. A licensed professional should be the one to perform this procedure. There are also a lot of
things to consider before going for this process, which calls for disabling patches of hair follicles at a time
through the use of laser energy, as it has a number of benefits and risks. It is also expensive and time-consuming.
The length of treatment usually depends on the size of the area where the hair should be get rid of. Doing a full
face would take as long as 20 minutes though. Only one session will also not do the trick as at least 6 expensive
sessions are needed to get the desired result of a hairless face.
Before trying on any of these facial hair removal methods, it is best to consult your doctor first on what
should be the best for you especially the process that you have chosen is not conventional. You should try using a
lotion with alpha-hydroxy acid after performing any of the treatments. This is a skin-exfoliant that aids in the
prevention of hairs growing inwards.
If none of these methods prove beneficial to you, you could opt for hair bleaching. This is not only an easy
method but it is safe as well. And, as most if not all of these types of hair removal methods cause irritation of
the skin or discomfort, it is best that utmost consideration be put on the benefits and risks involved in doing the
procedures.
