A Quick Review of Common Hair Removal Methods

There are many methods available to remove unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body. Some are suitable for large areas, while a few are suited for smaller areas. Choosing the best method also requires knowledge about skin type, and of course, available budget as well. The methods listed below are the most common methods in use today.

Threading

This is an extremely delicate method of removing hair. It is applied mainly for facial hair and eyebrows. Basically, threading calls for each hair to be individually and manually removed by a tightened thread. Hence, it is not only quite painful but time-consuming as well.

Laser hair removal

For individuals with sensitive skin, or skin prone to ingrown hairs, the use of laser hair removal method is excellent as the process minimizes the risk of unsightly bumps when supervised by expert therapists. After every laser session, laser-ed hair will grow sparser and thinner, hence making it less likely to cause problems upon removal. But not many people are into laser hair removal because it is relatively very expensive compared to all other methods of hair removal. But with improved technology, a growing worldwide demand, and fierce competition, prices have gone down substantially over the years.

Depilatory cream

This option is effective when done correctly. But more often than not, this method will end up very messy and might leave sensitive skins stinging. One of the disadvantages of using depilatory creams is that the results last only for a couple of days. But on the plus side, it is a less expensive option compared to many other hair removal alternatives.

Shaving

Probably the most well known method of hair removal. It is cheap, easy to use, and a very quick way to remove unwanted hair. But results only last one or two days. Women should take note that they should never use razors to remove facial hair as regrowth tends to occur rapidly.

Epilating devices

These pull out the hairs from the root, hence giving a long-lasting solution. But epilating is painful, though this often lessens over time as the body adapts to the pain level. Another problem with using these devices concerns getting rid of coarse hairs. When pulled, these hairs tend to break rather than come out cleanly.

Sugaring

To some individuals, this method of hair removal is gentler on the skin than waxing, as warmed sugar only sticks to the hairs, rather than the skin. But sugaring is not a do-it-yourself method. It should be performed by a skilled practitioner.

Electrolysis

This hair removal method uses low-level electrical currents to destroy the hair follicle, which translates to mean that the hair no longer grows. Depending on where you get it done, it can be quite expensive and time-consuming. Hence, it is not wise to use it on big areas.

Has anyone ever tried...?

...One of those epilator things for women? They look like an electric razor, but basically it's hundreds of tiny tweezers that pull each hair out.
Anyways, I'm thinking about getting one, and I wanted feedback on whether or not they actually work well, how many times you would have to go over each area, pain level from 1-10, what brand you use, and if it's okay to use on the bikini area.
Thanks for the help!

Yeah...well...okay it still hurt, hey you are pulling out hair! But it had evolved over the years and it is much 'nicer' than it use to be!

I have at home the Silkepil by Braun...and it 's pretty good, it works great for all areas you have to go just a couple of times over the same area, it usualy pick up every hair in 2-3 times. I use it mostly on my bikini area and arm pits and it's perfect...if you plan to wear a bikini use it the day before as if you have sensitive skin it might be a little red for 2-3 hours...but other than that I really like it and use it regularly.
On a pain level of 1 to 10...I would say when you start for the first 3-4 minutes (the time to get use to it) let's say it's a 6 and then goes down to a 3-4 when you get the hang of it...
