Having a hair-free body is becoming an essential for many women and men. Summer means less clothing, bikini-clad bodies, so the demand for hair removing treatments in the summer months is very high.
Unwanted hair should be a matter of great concern to a woman. There could be many reasons for unwanted hair growth like congenital cause, imbalance of hormones, pregnancy, irregular menses, mental tensions … The unwanted hair grow mostly on the chin, above upper lip, on the forehead, around the nipples. The term “unwanted hair” refers to hair growth in areas on the body that are considered to be either culturally unacceptable or unattractive. The darker the color of the hair is, the more visible it is. The excessive hair around the nipples, on the face (see: excessive facial hair in women), on the torso or back is considered to be abnormal hair growth for women, but unfortunately it is very common, especially for those with dark hair.

There are many ways to get rid of these unwanted hair, albeit, temporarily like plucking, threading, waxing, shaving, IPL treatment.

Plucking
Plucking is a good method to use on your eyebrows, since it may change the shape of your eyebrows from time to time and allow hairs to grow back. Tweezing sparse hairs on the chin, around the nipple, upper lip can give you immediate short-term gratification. Unfortunately the hair removal is temporarily (around two/three weeks) and stimulates the hair follicles to grow stronger hair. About 25 percent of the women have nipple hair. To remove them tweeze the hairs after taking a shower - your pores will be open which will make the removal faster and less painful. Remember: Plucking out a hair by the root through tweezing can lead to an infection of the hair shaft and curling of the hair into the skin. Before using tweezers, apply cold cream to the face so as to soften the roots of the hair.
Never use a razor to remove facial hair – it hardens the root of the hair and there is a rapid re-growth of hair.

Waxing
Waxing is the most useful method for removing unwanted hair. The wax is usually of two types – cold wax and hot wax. Waxing plucks hair from deep beneath the skin surface and the best thing is that it doesn’t need to be done as often as shaving or depilatories. Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax combination thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. Waxing removes hair for long periods of time and hair that is waxed grow back finer.
If you have a mild facial hair problem, waxing will control the situation without causing stubble.
There are different “wax strips” which are good way to remove upper lip hair. The areas to be treated must be wiped over with witch hazel to remove any grease. The temperature should be tested on the inside of your wrist and then applied.

IPL – /intense pulsed light/ for hair removal

In ILP technology a multiple-light wave lengths are pulsed onto the skin through quartz crystal. Pigment in hair covers the light to heat and conducts it to the follicles to destroy growth cells. A single session can reduce hair growth by 45% compared to 23% with laser. IPL treat hair on all body zones including face and bikini line. IPL works best on darker hairs, but fair hair and graying hair needs more sessions, white hair rarely responds.

Depilatories
A chemical depilatory is a cosmetic preparation used to remove the hair from the skin on the human body. A depilatory dissolves hair below the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother, longer-lasting finish. Some people experience some skin irritation after using depilatories, so you should try some on a small area first to see how your skin reacts. There are lotions, creams, mousses, gels, foams depilatories. Some depilatories are intended for the face, others for legs, underarm hair, but I don’t recommend using depilatories for removing underarm hair, because the skin there is very delicate and sensitive. Never use depilatories near the eyes, because the chemicals they contain are very strong and risky. Depilatories tend to have less of the effect on the follicles then methods like waxing or tweezing. They don’t provide a permanent hair removal solution, but the hair does take longer to grow back than it would if you were shaving. The result usually lasts three to four days.

Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the practice of electrical epilation to permanently remove human hair.
Electrolysis destroys hair follicles with the heat generated by an electrolic current. Electrolysis can remove the unwanted hair permanently after five/ six sessions. Hair can be destroyed on the third treatment if the needle is inserted and damage to the tissue around the follicle can leave small scars or red marks.
