Tips On Removing Facial Hair

Tips On Removing Facial Hair
by: Angela Myers
Facial hair can be embarrassing for women especially if it is darker than the surrounding skin. You want to always look your best, but it’s tough to put your best face forward when it is covered in facial hair.

How much your facial hair bothers you is a personal choice. You can go all out and reshape the eyebrows, remove hair from inside the nose and remove hair from the chin, lips, and face.

Is shaving truly the best method of removing unwanted facial hair? It is certainly the most used method by men. A whole industry has arisen around shaving; gels, shaving creams, after shave, and the vast array of shavers available, all designed to reduce skin trauma and irritation from shaving. Shaving may work for men, but for women it really isn’t much of an option. In fact, some men are even seeking an alternate method for removing hair from the face.

When women have excess facial hair, it is usually along the upper lip and on the chin. So what is the best method for removal? Plucking is not a good choice because it would take forever and it is painful. Are there any methods of hair removal acceptable for use on the face?

Depilatories are one option although probably not the best. They are however an inexpensive short term hair removal option. The downside is that they contain harsh chemicals which can burn and irritate the skin, so car must be taken when using depilatories. Since only the visible hair is removed by being dissolved, the process is short lived and must be repeated often.

Electrolysis and laser are the best options. These methods remove hair permanently by damaging the base of the hair follicle so the hair just stops growing. The options are quite pricey and are long procedures to undergo.

Waxing combines the best of the two methods above and is quickly becoming the hair removal method of choice by both men and women. Waxing pulls the hair out by the root just like tweezing. The hair will grow back, but it will take quite a long time. Waxing is inexpensive and you can do it yourself at home if you need to.

And there you have it, a few good methods of removing unwanted facial hair. If all else fails, see your doctor for recommendations.

Can You Afford Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Can You Afford Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
by: Tami Cantar
Well, you’ve checked out some local clinics and you know the risks involved. You like the look of everybody’s ‘before and after’ pictures and you’re all set to part with your hard earned cash. But how can you be sure if your local professional isn’t making you pay through the nose? Here’s how. You need a critical overview of the guide price for all laser hair removal treatment, as well as individual prices for some of the best laser clinics out there.

First though – a warning. Every practitioner will tell you they’re the cheapest, just as every form of hair removal will boast its long term cost-effectiveness over its closest rival. This can make it difficult and misleading at the start of your search. The best thing to do if you’re shopping around is to get as many quotes as you can for the same length of treatment. You’ll begin to see the patterns, and you can decide for yourself if lasers fall inside your budget or not. For lengthy hair removal requirements, you may decide that waxing didn’t hurt that much after all.

The other thing to consider is whether or not you’re a good candidate for laser treatment. Light skinned consumers with dark hair have the best results, and grey, red or blonde hair tends to take a lot longer. So consider how many treatments you’re likely to need. How big and how dense is the area requiring treatment? Along with your practitioner and geographical area, these factors will all influence the sale price.

The national average for one basic treatment of laser therapy is about $360. It’s a little cheaper in the South, and getting on for $500 in the Midwest. Of course, most consumers who are serious about hair removal won’t stop at one treatment, so a lifetime’s supply of laserology could set you back many thousands of pounds, depending on the ‘uniqueness of you’, and on the effectiveness of your chosen professional.

Palmer Dermatology of Centerville, OH, charge $200 per treatment, and recommend 3-4 treatments for best results. A 6-treatment package for your bikini line at Aptos Medical Arts, CA is $500. And Sona, the nation’s market leader, don’t even mention the bottom line – money is no object when it comes to your ultimate solution. If all this sounds a little too rich for your taste, just remember a pot of Aussie Nad’s Hair Removal Gel is just $25…

Remember, you shouldn’t necessarily take the price list of your local laserologist as written in stone. Ask for special offers. Explain that you’ll be a regular customer, you’ll be parting with a lot of money and you want to pay for all treatments upfront in exchange for a discount. Beyond this, you can bring a friend along and see if you’ll get a discount for a referral. Ask if they run financing schemes in exchange for buying for multiple areas or ‘packaging’ with another procedure.

Doctors and laserologists are business people too, and they want you as a customer. Think about your options, and don’t be put off at first glance.

Laser Hair Removal - The Only Permanent Choice

Laser Hair Removal - The Only Permanent Choice by: Tamra Cantar


Laser hair removal is the new black for hair removal consumers. In fact it’s been that way since the mid-sixties, if you knew where to look. These days the market is swamped with competing technologies, with physicians, electrologists, beauticians and self-proclaimed ‘laserologists’ all vying for your attention – and your credit card details. But lasers aren’t for everyone, and proper treatment requires some serious training and education. So if you’re considering ‘LHR’ as a solution to your excess hair trouble, you need to know the facts. First off, the science. Laser treatment works by delivering light into your skin. It comes from a hand-piece at a specified wavelength. It targets dark matter, such as the pigment in your hair. So while the tissue surrounding the follicle is ignored, the laser causes thermal and/or mechanical damage to the hair follicle and inhibits its ability to produce hair. Sounds good, right? Well, it is. Done properly, laser hair removal is safe, it’s very useful for large areas (unlike electrolysis), and many consumers report long lasting hair removal or permanent hair reduction. Those with light-skin and dark hair have the best results, and if there is re-growth, it’s often much lighter and softer than the original hair. It’s worth bearing in mind though that there’s nothing long-term about how safe or effective this method of hair removal is. In fact, recent research has raised concerns about the effect of laser irradiation on other skin structures. Low-skilled treatment can result in burns, lesions, temporary skin discoloration, as well as patchy re-growth. Beyond this, laser treatment can be expensive, painful, and sometimes ineffective, even for those who fit the bill completely. The bottom line – it’s a good idea for some, not so much for others. Just don’t trust any claims that sound too good to be true. If a practitioner doesn’t admit to all of the above, he’s more interested in your wallet than in your satisfaction, and if he’s using words like ‘guaranteed’ in his sales pitch, steer clear. Remember that while some users experience permanent hair removal, many don’t. There are also inadequate controls governing the proper application of treatment from state to state. The best thing you can do is shop around. Even the best doctors are salespeople, so there’ll be plenty of hype to read through before you get to the nitty gritty. If you’re really confused, probably the safest person to use is a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, with specific training and qualifications in laser treatment. Don’t be afraid to call first and get all of your awkward questions out of the way. A decent, considerate physician will be more than happy to help. Set up a consultation with the person who will be carrying out the treatment. Talk to some other clients if you can. You should even be able to get some test patches done, somewhere that won’t show too much if something goes wrong. Keep tabs on your findings and take your time. This is an important – and sometimes expensive – procedure. You probably can’t afford to get it wrong.
