Silky smooth skin is something we all desire, but those ugly and irritating body hair come in between. They need to be removed, and, thankfully, there are several ways to do it. Following are four hair removal treatments that can help you remove your body hair whenever you desire.

• Laser hair removal treatment

  Laser hair removal is a treatment that destroys hair follicles through the use of a laser. You can count on coveted clinics for a laser hair removal treatment or can do self-treatment at home using certain devices. The duration of laser hair removal depends on the area to be treated as it takes lesser time to treat the bikini area and armpits, and more time to treat the legs or back. As laser hair removal reduces hair growth considerably, you can have a nice time without those frustrating body hairs coming back at a fast pace. There were times when lasers used to damage dark skin and didn’t show effective results on light hair. However, the modern laser hair removal suits all skin types and offers desired results on all hair types.

• Eflornithine hydrochloride cream

  If you are fighting that little yet prominent chin hair or thick facial hair, you can treat them with this costly yet extremely effective prescription product. After using this cream twice a day for about two months, you can notice a considerable reduction in hair growth. This product is an expensive one, but is FDA approved and gives freedom from other hair removal methods. It does have some temporary side effects that include a stinging sensation, redness, rash, or inflamed and bumpy hair follicles. Make sure you consult a doctor before using this medication. Talk about your allergies and pay attention to the ingredients beforehand so that you don’t experience any allergic reactions later.

• Electrolysis

  Electrolysis is a face and body hair removal method that destroys the growth center of the hair with chemical or heat energy. This state-of-the-art treatment can be effectively used for treating hair in most areas of the body, including eyebrows, face, thighs, breasts, abdomen, and legs. In addition, electrolysis treatment can be used on all hair types, including fine textures and skin colors like white or blonde. The treatment doesn’t have any permanent side-effects, but it can cause slight temporary redness of the skin.

• Sugaring

  You can also count on sugaring, which an ancient middle-eastern practice, for hair removal. It involves the use of an all-natural paste or gel that is made from ingredients such as sugar, lemon juice, and water; it may also include honey, salt, and essentials oils. It helps remove hair follicles from the root, keeping hair growth at bay for a minimum period of six weeks. The sugar wax can be used at room temperature and is as painful as traditional waxing. However, unlike waxing, it doesn’t cause a burning sensation and redness afterward. Additionally, the ingrown hair is minimal. You can count on sugaring for hair removal from any part of your body.

Now that you have an idea of the different hair removal methods, use the most appropriate one to bid goodbye to unwanted hair effectively.
