Hair Removal Method

You will find information about all hair removal methods on this site and you should explore each method thoroughly and discuss with a qualified medical practitioner or beauty therapist before making your choice. But given that time is short for us all, I thought it would be useful to summarize the questions you need to think about when looking into removing unwanted hair and to see the whole range of hair remover treatments laid out in one place.
Questions to ask yourself when thinking about hair removal

Am I looking for a permanent solution or am I happy with repeating the treatment at intervals?

Some of us are happy to shave our legs every few days - others never want to see a razor again. How regularly are you prepared to deal with your excess hair regrowth?

How much pain can I stand?

Some hair removal methods are more painful than others. Those which remove hair from the surface of the skin are least painful and cause least discomfort while those which have a more lasting effect and take the hair out from the root will challenge your pain threshold. There are ways to minimize the pain and discomfort but it won't go away entirely. If you find pain difficult to bear choose a salon treatment for any procedure such as waxing rather than a home kit - because the beauty therapist will be more experienced at working quickly and effectively and you won't need to continually pluck up the courage to rip off each wax strip.

How much money do I have to spend?

Permanent treatments such as electrolysis and hair removal by laser are expensive and costly and treatments need to be repeated over a period of time. If you don't have the budget for that you might need to consider other methods or restrict permanent treatment to small critical areas such as the face.
