Shaving, Plucking, Waxing, Laser: Which Is The Best Hair Removal Method?


By James Carter

A superfluous growth of hair all over the body served quite different uses for human during prehistoric times. Hair provided protection from the elements and barrier against crawling insects keen to enter body crevices.

At this time, when humans are now living indoors, an excessive growth of hair in parts of the body such as the face, legs, armpits, and bikini line are considered unsanitary. Women suffer all the more with this taboo, as excess hair may easily become a reflection of how well they take care of themselves.

The repulsiveness of overabundant body hair has become a major issue for many women; thus, a number of hair removal products and methods are out in the market to solve this "hairy" issue.

Shaving cuts the hair off at the skin surface. It is the most convenient of all hair elimination methods and also the most short-term manner of keeping hair away.

Tweezing is another hair removal technique seen to be better at keeping hair regrowth to a minimum. Nevertheless, it is thought to be very time-consuming because one needs to pluck out the hair strand one at a time.

Waxing is another hair removal method. It involves softening up up strips coated with wax and placing them on the leg. After several minutes, the strips are pulled out.

Laser is a painless and permanent process for removing unwanted hair. It works by seeking out melanin, which is responsible for the dark pigment of the hair. Once melanin is zapped, dark hair regrowth is nearly impossible.

If considering laser hair eradication, consult a certified dermatologic doctor to learn more about the pros and risks of this technology.
