8 Best Safe Methods to Remove Unwanted Hair

Are you worried about your body's unwanted hair, then this is a read for you. You can choose any method of hair removal at home using cream, threading, and Permanent treatment Electrolysis, and  Laser Hair removal.

Why Hair Growth?

It's really common to have hairs on your body parts like legs, underarms, and other body parts, these hairs are worrisome but when these hair grow thicker where you don't want them is called hirsutism. Hirsutism is a disorder in women where excessive growth of thick, coarse hairs occurs in areas of the body that are easily activated by androgens.

If you are struggling with excessive or abnormal hair growth, ranging from moderate to severe, or you experience a sudden onset of excessive hair growth, it can be helpful, if not essential, to have a medical evaluation to determine the cause and options for treatment.

Getting rid of hairs in our daily routine is an obsession, if you are worried about these hairs and depending on your budget you can choose one of the methods of hair removal.

Depilatories:

Depilatories are much like shaving hairs that come after 5,6 days because hair is removed just from the skin surface. In depilatories have ingredients like calcium hydroxide and sodium or calcium thioglycolate, which melts and dissolves the hairs. This product is not great for everyone, because it can cause irritation, Patch tests must be done before use.

To get the best results from depilatories:

First, apply warm too hot (but not too hot) compresses, 

• It will help soften the hair and pores (where the hair is growing),
•  Allowing the depilatory to be absorbed better. 
• Then apply an extremely thick, generous layer of the depilatory completely over the entire length and base of the hair shaft area. 
• let it stay on for the full recommended time, but no longer than between 4 and 15 minutes, depending on how fine or coarse the hair is. 
• Because depilatories dissolve the hair, applying pressure can help remove more of the shaft.
•  Instead of simply washing the depilatory away, use a washcloth and wipe the cream off, using a firm back-and-forth motion.

Caution: Should never be used for the eyebrows or other areas around the eyes, or on inflamed or broken skin.

Waxing:

An inexpensive way to remove hair from the body. Waxing leaves the area smoother than shaving does because it pulls the hair out below the top layer of skin, which makes it grow back slower and less uniformly.

Steps to Follow:

• In hot waxing, a thin layer of heated wax is applied to the skin in the direction of the hair growth.
• The hair becomes embedded in the wax as it cools and hardens. 
• The wax is then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth, taking the uprooted hair with it. Cold waxes work similarly.
• Strips pre-coated with wax or a cool, sugar-based substance are pressed onto the skin in the direction of the hair growth and pulled off in the opposite direction.

Sugaring: 

It works like wax, but it has two positive benefits over wax. Here are two main positives to sugaring over waxing. First, sugaring’s mess washes away while wax has to be peeled or scratched off (and that isn’t easy). Plus sugaring doesn’t usually require heating while waxing often does, and adding heat is far more damaging to skin! Easy cleanup and a relatively easier application (no risk of burn) are the incredible benefits of sugaring.

Threading: 

Threading is a Middle Eastern strategy that culls hair from the root by utilizing a contorted piece of string. It is an entrancing cycle to watch. The individual doing the treatment holds the string in her mouth and hands and culls away the hair quicker than you can envision, leaving the region smoother than you could do all alone with a tweezer.

Bleaching: 

Bleaching is an incredible, modest alternative if the issue isn't the thickness of the hair however it's obscurity. This strategy is especially successful for the upper lip or different pieces of the face, neck, and arms. There are numerous alternatives for facial fade items at the pharmacy or on the Internet.

Electrolysis:

Electrolysis is the only permanent form of hair removal, at least so far, but it requires repeated treatments that can take up to a year and it can be pricey, especially when you take into consideration the time commitment. 

There are two types of devices that use electric current to remove hair: the needle epilator and the tweezer epilator. Needle epilators introduce a very fine wire under the skin and into the hair follicle. The major risks of using electrolysis include electrical shock, which can occur if the needle is not properly insulated; infection from a nonsterile needle; and scarring resulting from improper technique.

Laser Hair Removal: 

The laser helps in removing hairs permanently. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after a treatment regime, which may include several sessions. The number of hairs regrowing must be stable over time greater than the duration of the complete growth cycle of hair follicles, which varies from four to twelve months according to body location. Permanent hair reduction does not necessarily imply the elimination of all hairs in the treatment area.” That is a very convoluted way of saying that laser hair removal is not permanent and that there are no studies showing it to be so even after several treatments.

Vaniqa: 

Vaniqa is a topical cream for reducing and inhibiting the growth of unwanted facial hair (it has not been studied for its effect on the hair on other parts of the body). On the surface, Vaniqa might sound like a depilatory, but Vaniqa’s effect on hair and skin is unrelated to the way a depilatory work.

Caution:

All treatments for hair removal are contraindicated after any facial peel or laser procedure. It can take six to eight weeks for the skin to completely heal after a peel. Any trauma to the skin during the recovery period can cause discoloration or even scarring. Hair removal is also extremely problematic if you are using AHAs, BHA, topical retinoids, azelaic acid, or taking Accutane. These treatments can make skin more susceptible to tears, wounds, and irritation, and attempting hair removal at the same time can prove to be uncomfortable as well as damaging.
