Hair Removal Options, Including Laser Hair Removal Salt Lake City

By Esme Spence


Methods for hair removal include everything from shaving to laser hair removal Salt Lake City and everything in between. Figuring out what will work best for you can sometimes be quite an endeavor. And both men and women experience this problem because hair is found on various parts of the body for both genders. Hair removal has become increasingly popular whether male or female, so it should be no surprise that both genders can use the same techniques. Shaving has always been the most popular form of hair removal for both sexes, but additional hair removal methods, such as laser hair removal Utah, are also worthy of consideration.

There are many, many available hair removal methods for men and women. Because there are so many choices, it is good to know what options are currently available and the differences between them. To add to the confusion, there are even options within the basic options. A good place to start is identifying the available options and figuring out what you think will work best for your body hair. Then, experiment a little. Try different things until you find something that you are comfortable with that works for you! Regardless of your reasons, there are a few benefits and drawbacks to removing body hair.

No two people are alike; therefore, what works best for hair removal for one person, may not work at all for another. Some people prefer shaving because it is quick and relatively inexpensive, while others find that hair regrowth occurs too quickly thereafter and is not effective for what they are trying to do. Others find that laser hair removal Salt Lake City is an effective solution for their hair removal needs; however, people with very fine hair or very dark skin may find that this method just does not work for them. Still others might try electrology, since it is the only form of hair removal recognized by the FDA as truly permanent. There are many choices for hair removal and the trick is finding what works best for you!

Depilation and epilation are the two basic forms of hair removal. Both techniques effectively remove hair from the body but accomplish this in very different ways. Depilation removes the hair above the skin only, not disrupting the follicle. Examples of depilation include: shaving, using trimmers, and chemical delipatories. Depilation results are often short lived and require almost constant attention; however, they are also generally relatively inexpensive as well. Epliation, on the other hand, removes the entire hair, including the follicle found below the skin. Examples of this method include: tweezing, waxing, sugaring, threading, and electric epilators. Epilation is more costly, but results are generally seen for longer periods of time. There are also options that are not either of these methods: laser hair removal Salt Lake City and electrology. Laser hair removal uses light and pulsation to target the pigment in hair follicles, which removes the hair and follicle simultaneously. Electrology works by destroying the germ cells in the hair follicle responsible for growth, making regrowth almost impossible.

The obvious benefit of hair removal of any type, including laser hair removal Salt Lake City, is smooth skin. This benefit can last for only a day or for up to weeks at a time. Additional benefits to hair removal are less obvious, but equally important. They include religious function, medical necessity, for sports, and social reasons (such as the military). Unfortunately, there are also drawbacks. Hair removal of any kind can cause skin inflammation, minor burns, lesions, scarring, ingrown hairs, bumps and infected hair follicles. In addition, some hair removal methods are not permanent, can cause medical problems and permanent damage, or have very high costs and some of these methods have yet to be clinically proven.

There are many methods for hair removal; from shaving to laser hair removal Salt Lake City (laser hair removal Utah) to electrology. Certainly, if you are looking to remove hair, there is something that will work for you.
