There is a variety of methods and at-home devices becoming available for hair removal. From hair removal creams to clinical lasers. Hair removal is a personal choice, whether you’re searching for a long-lasting solution or just a quick fix here’s the top treatments.
Hair Removal Methods:
Waxing
When it comes to wax, many people think of the pain of the hair follicles being ripped out of the skin! If it’s your first time using wax then you could opt for a smaller area that is less sensitive, such as the underarms or lower legs. However, everyone’s pain threshold is different. Waxing is suitable for all body areas and it’s important to carry this out with a trained professional to ensure your skin is not damaged.
If you’re after continual treatments you would look to see hair regrowth after 4 weeks for your next treatment. You must grow your hair enough to allow the wax to grip the hair and pull it out. After your waxing treatment, there are aftercare instructions that should be provided by your beautician to ensure there is no reaction.

Shaving
Shaving is one of the most popular, as it is affordable, simple, and quick to reach for. If you’re constantly on the go you will be taking a razor with you. Razors can be used on all body areas but they must be used with attention and accuracy. Intimate areas can be harder to reach as you would need to pull the skin for a precise shave. Shaving is not a permanent or long-term hair removal method and you can anticipate the hair to grow back within a day or so.
