Waxing, Tweezing, Threading, Laser Hair Removal or Depilatory?

by Beyond Beauty Basics

spa-waxing.jpgMany women (and even some men) have excess hair on there face, arms, back, bikini area or other body parts that they would like to have either permanently or periodically removed.If you don’t want a major expense all at once, and the area is large (such as your arms or legs) go for the wax or depilatory. The wax will (more than likely) hurt, but unless the person performing the waxing uses too hot of wax, most people are pink in the area for a few hours and that’s it. Depilatories, as they are a cream, usually don’t hurt (unless you have an allergic reaction) and can also remove large areas of unwanted hair quickly and efficiently.

Tweezing and threading are traditionally used for the eye area and most skin specialists will agree that waxing in the eye area may cause (over time) the skin to have less elasticity and become “crapey”.

Permanent removal of hair anywhere is not a one time and you’re done deal. Laser hair removal usually takes at least three sessions, can be quite painful and is of considerable cost. It is, however (once finished) permanent and you won’t need to pay for waxing or tweezing again and the pain’s over.

    If you decide to opt for a laser hair removal treatment you don’t have to worry about looking like a plucked chicken just a day after your waxing or worry about your shaved legs looking like you have been running down with a lawn mower. :roll:

    Laser hair removal is the best thing ever! I never have to shave my legs or bikini area again.
