IPL Hair Removal

IPL hair removal, or intense pulsed light hair removal, is widely known to be more effective at skin rejuvenation than hair removal. This is because IPL lasers emit different light wavelengths that can’t be refined to a single wavelength.

Electrolysis

Hair electrolysis has been used for years and was a revolution when it was first used for permanent hair removal. Electrolysis involves sticking a needle into the hair follicle and running an electric current into that follicle to remove hair.

Alexandrite Hair Removal

Alexandrite laser hair removal provides the most effective hair removal available in the world today. This is because the alexandrite laser emits the perfect wavelength of light (755 nanometres) to attach to the melanin in the hair and damage hair follicles.

Waxing

Many people use wax for hair removal. There are many different brands and types of waxing products and waxing services, including eyebrow waxing, waxing for men, facial waxing, underarm waxing, Brazilian waxing, sphinx waxing and much more!

Brazilian Wax

There are many different brands and types of Brazilian or ‘brazillian’ wax and services. This includes Brazilian bikini waxes (where all hair is removed from the genitals and bum leaving a strip of hair on the pubic bone), the professional job at Brazilian wax salons; there’s the do it yourself Brazilian wax, Brazilian waxing at home, sphinx waxing (also known as the full Brazilian wax where all the hair from the navel to the bum is removed), male Brazilian waxing and much more!

Bikini waxing

There are many different types of bikini waxing. There’s DIY waxing, home waxing, full brazilians or bikini treatments, shaping, salon waxing and french waxing, all using hot liquid wax or strips.

Shaving

Shaving has to be done daily. Permanent laser hair removal is quick and only needs to be repeated once or twice a year once your treatment course is complete.

Hair Removal Products

Unwanted hair is annoying, but you do not have to suffer in embarrassed silence when laser is the latest and most effective of all the unwanted hair treatments around today.

Hair Removal Creams

There are many different brands of hair removal cream and various types, including in shower hair removal cream, hair removal cream for men, facial hair removal cream, and creams which claim to be the ‘best’ hair removal cream, ‘gentle’, ‘natural’ or for sensitive skin.

Facial Hair Removal Creams

There are many different brands of facial hair removal cream and various types, including creams that claim to be ‘gentle’, ‘natural’ or for sensitive skin.

Men’s Hair Removal Creams

Many men use hair removal creams as an alternative to shaving, particularly on their arms, legs, back and chest. Hair removal cream for men is ok for hair removal…so long as you can avoid the dreaded rashes, ingrowns and burns!

Hair Removal Sprays

There are many different brands of hair removal sprays and various types, including in shower hair removal spray, and sprays that claim to be ‘gentle’, ‘natural’ or for sensitive skin.

Hair Removal Lotions

There are many different brands of hair removal lotion. Regardless of the brand or the type of lotion, all of these depilatory lotions, creams and sprays work using a strong, alkaline based chemical, which, when applied slowly breaks down the hair, turning it to jelly.

Hair Removers

There are many ‘no no’s’ when it comes to hair removers. Older types of hair removers have some major drawbacks. Waxing, shaving and plucking do not permanently remove hair and often cause ingrown hairs.

Epilators

Many people use epilators for hair removal. There are many different brands and types of epilators: some that have metal ‘coils’, and some that have mass tweezing arms. Regardless of the type, the epilation method is still the same: the machine grips the hair and pulls it out by the roots.

Hair Removal Machines

There are many different types of home hair removal. Along with the common waxing, plucking, bleaches, shaving and creams, there is also home electrolysis and now, even the home laser hair removal machine. Despite claims to the contrary, none of these methods result in permanent hair removal at home.

Plucking Hair

Plucking has been used for years and involves grabbing individual hairs with tweezers and pulling it out by the roots. Plucking has some major drawbacks. Plucking can be painful and is SO SLOW! This is because you can only remove ONE HAIR AT A TIME.

Sugaring

Sugaring hair removal originated in ancient Egypt and the Middle East. Many women prefer to use this method as it is marketed as being ‘natural’ – unlike waxing and creams that can use many different chemicals.

Bleaching

There are many different brands of hair bleach that can be used for bleaching facial hair, eyebrow bleaching, bleaching arm hair, there’s even bleach for the upper lip! While facial hair bleaching is fairly quick, it becomes very time consuming when you start considering using bleach on your arm or leg hair! Plus, regardless of the brand or the type of cream, none of these creams actually remove any hair at all!

Natural Hair Removal

There are many different types of advertised natural hair removal, including waxing, or ‘sensitive’ depilatory creams for ‘natural’ facial hair removal, general natural hair removal gels and natural hair removal creams.

Home Hair Removal

There are many different types of home hair removal. Along with the common waxing, plucking, bleaches, shaving and creams, there is also home electrolysis and even home laser hair removal.
