Hair removal methods（part Ⅱ）

Wet shaving

Gliding blades over moistened skin to cut hair at the surface.

Best for:

Legs, underarms, bikini area

Advantages:

Fast, effective, painless and also gently exfoliates dry, flaky skin on legs to keep them looking extra-smooth.

Disadvantages:

Whilst shaving does reveal beautifully smooth skin you have to keep on doing it frequently in order to maintain the smooth results.

Beauty rating:

A great option for busy women.

Dermatologist’s note:

“Shaving is a convenient option – but it’s important to do it properly. Just using soap and water is not ideal as it often leaves skin with a dry, scaly appearance. It is better to use a moisturizing shave gel.”

Depilatory Creams

Chemically dissolving the hair at the surface of the skin. Once applied, the cream is left on the skin for up to 10 minutes then removed by gently rubbing away at the hair.

Best for:

Upper lip, bikini area and underarms

Advantages:

Pain-free, inexpensive.

Disadvantages:

Can sometimes be messy and difficult to apply. Traditionally, products have had an unpleasant smell, though some are better than others. Skin irritation can be a problem, too, so it’s best to do a patch test 24 hours before you want to apply.

Beauty rating:

Best for small areas like face and underarms

Dermatologist’s note:

“If you have sensitive skin, depilatory creams may not be the most appropriate option, because the chemicals contained in them can cause both irritant and allergic reactions. Always carry out a patch test, ideally on the inside of the arm and better still on two separate occasions, before using it on an entire leg or face.”

Intense Pulsed Light

Focusing a narrow beam of concentrated light on to small sections of skin. The light is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle underneath the skin surface, thus heating the hair follicle and disabling hair growth depending on growth cycle (anagen only). The paler your skin and the darker your hair, the better the treatment will work.

Best for:

Bikini, underarm, upper lip

Advantages:

Much faster and less painful than it used to be, because larger sections of skin can now be treated in one go. In many cases, hair is discouraged from ever growing back, or if it does, the hair tends to be very fine and thin.

Disadvantages:

Requires shaving of the skin before each treatment. You also have to be careful about going in the sun for up to six weeks either side of your treatment as the changes to pigment in your skin can increase the risk of sunburn. Hormonal changes like pregnancy or the menopause can also cause hair to start growing back again.

Beauty rating:

Great for areas that cause you real distress, like the upper lip, but quite extreme as an ordinary hair removal option.

Dermatologist’s note:

“The laser works by ‘homing in’ on the pigment in the hairs – so the closer your hair colour to your skin colour, the higher the risk of burning and potential scarring. The ideal combination is therefore dark hair on pale skin. If you have dark skin, you should give careful thought before embarking on this technique.”
