Some people are hairier than others. If you are one such person, then you probably want to get rid of some of it. Unwanted hair can ruin the way that you look, especially if it’s in places like your face, neck, or on your hands. Don’t worry though, because you do have options.

Hair removal can be a complicated subject, so it’s necessary to conduct extensive research in order to understand what your options are. This post will simplify that research for you, by telling you what you need to do to get rid of unwanted hair.
Laser Hair Removal
Out of all of this list’s suggestions and tips, laser hair removal is the most effective. It’s the method of hair removal that most people gravitate towards because it’s easy, painless, and affordable. You shouldn’t have trouble finding laser hair removal available in Vancouver, Toronto, or any Canadian city or province. It is actually possible to perform laser hair removal at home, however, it’s not recommended. Most experts agree it is best to go to a professional clinic. Trying to perform laser hair removal yourself could lead to you scarring or hurting yourself.
Using Tweezers
If you are trying to remove small or fine hairs, then tweezers are the way to go. Using tweezers for body hair probably isn’t a good idea though. They are better suited to fixing your eyebrows, removing nose hair, and eliminating any odd or loose hairs, growing in awkward places. If you are going to use them to remove nose hair, then make sure that you only do so in moderation. Using tweezers to remove nose hair could cause infections, which can be very dangerous as nasal infections can spread to the brain.

Waxing Yourself
Waxing is another of this list’s most effective hair removal strategies. The only downside to waxing is that it hurts. You can wax yourself at home or you can go to a waxing clinic. Again, experts advise seeing an expert. Waxing yourself can be perfectly safe as long as you know what you’re doing. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people have absolutely no idea what they are supposed to be doing. Using bad technique when you are waxing could lead to you irritating your skin, which could result in it becoming red, angry, and very sore.
Topical Medication
There are some prescription medications you can use to remove hair from your skin. You can only get these by making an appointment with your physician. If you pay for your medication, then you should know that these creams can be very expensive. It’s also worth noting that they can be very painful, too. It’s common for people to experience soreness and pain as a side effect of them. If you do get hold of prescription-strength hair removal cream, then make sure that you patch-test it first. It’s common for people to be allergic to these kinds of creams.
Threading
Threading is another effective way of getting rid of small, fine hairs. You do need to be careful when you are threading, though. If you do not do it properly then you could end up seriously irritating your skin. Threading with a bad technique could result in your skin becoming irritated, sore, and inflamed. It could also lead to your skin peeling. It’s very common for people’s skin to peel after they have threaded using bad technique. If you are going to thread then watch an online tutorial first, so you know exactly how you are supposed to do it. Do not be too aggressive.
OTC Creams
In addition to pharmaceutical, prescription-strength creams, you can also buy OTC (over-the-counter) creams. These creams do not tend to be as effective as prescription creams, however, they still work. These creams have a tendency to be more abrasive and a lot harsher, though. This is mainly because they use very aggressive ingredients, incorporated into them so that they effectively eliminate any hair. If you are going to use these creams, then again, make sure that you patch-test them first. This is so you can be confident you are not allergic to any of the ingredients and so you can avoid irritating your skin.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a very effective form of hair removal. It’s something you can have done in a studio or clinic. You can find these clinics all over Canada, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to. This form of treatment tends to be very expensive though, because of the professional equipment that’s used. The good thing about electrolysis is that it permanently removes hair from the areas you target. You can actually buy at-home kits, but again, it’s best to go to a clinic so you can have it performed properly.
Love Yourself
