Unwanted hair
Most Popular Procedures
Shaving: This is the most common and affordable method of removing hair. However, hair grows back quickly, and the skin can become irritated.
Waxing: This involves applying hot wax to the skin and then pulling the hair out with a strip of cloth. It can be painful, but the hair takes longer to grow back than with shaving.
Depilatory creams: These creams dissolve the hair at the skin’s surface. They are easy to use but can cause skin irritation and allergies.
Electrolysis: This is a permanent method of hair removal that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and sending an electric current to destroy the follicle. It can be time-consuming and expensive.
Laser hair removal: This is another permanent method of hair removal that uses a laser to destroy the hair follicle. It can be expensive but is generally less painful than electrolysis.
