Laser Hair Removal - What Method, Where?

Laser Hair Removal

People have been removing hair from the beginning of times. We can easily imagine caveman plucking out stray hairs from his chin or his mate helping him to do so. As history continued cutting with a knife, eventually inventing scissors and sharp blades, tweezers and threading became part of a hair removal experience. Nowadays the number of methods available and the amount of alternative products is truly enormous.

It has become a perfectly normal activity during the ages and takes place more often than not, and with different trends and practices, in every society that has evolved. It is also a large business.You have laser hair removal clinics; different wax hair removal products; an enormous amount of shaving kits over electric and manual, for men and for women.

The actual method you can use will depend on many things:

* Cost and ease of use.
* Tolerance to pain -- for some people waxing is a normal part of their routine while for others it can be an exercise in pain
* How often it has to be done. Shaver example, for most men at least, has to be done daily. Waxing on the other hand can be from 5 to 14 days. Then there is the permanent hair removal and a semi permanent hair removal (electrolysis and laser hair removal)

It is probably safe to say the first hairs that were purposefully removed came from the head. Maybe the next set of hairs were facial hairs. As time went on and different trends appeared in those societies that came before us, hair began to be removed from other places. Chest hair, leg hair, hair from under the arms, hair from the back and definitely pubic. At one time it had religious connotations while at others it was questions of hygiene. Then came fashion.

There are two basic types of methods to remove unwanted hair. One is cutting away the hair that peeks out above the skin. This is a known as depilation. The other is to remove hair from beneath the skin. This is known as epilation.

Depilation - shaving, waxing, plucking, tweezing, and threading.
Epilation -- electrolysis and laser hair removal.

So, which is best, to apply where?
All methods that help you get rid of unwanted hair can be applied anywhere over your body. However having said that the method you use will depend on the body area you need to remove hair from.
For example, shaving back hair, if it is a large amount of hair, can even be dangerous as you cannot see every inch of your back. Plucking facial hair can be an extremely practical method for women who have stray hairs. For a man who has heavy hair growth on his face it is not a practical option.

Electrolysis and laser hair can be used, and in fact are a very good option, to remove hair from any part of your body.

For small amounts of hair, shaving, tweezing and plucking, are excellent option.

For legs, by the side of the mouth or cheeks, under the arms and even the pubic area, waxing is a very good option.

Chest hair can be easily be removed by shaving, waxing, electrolysis and laser hair removal.

At the end of the day the best option is the one that you decide based upon those three definitions you had to make. Cost and ease of use; tolerance to pain; and how often it has to be done.
