Body Hair Removal: Which method do I choose?

Jun 05, 2023Sofia Francès0 comments

Waxing is one of the most demanded services in beauty centers by women.

Which hair removal is best for your skin type?

Strong skin: black wax or strip wax is ideal for this type of skin that does not usually suffer from irritation. It also does not cause problems with pimples on the body.
Delicate skin and sensitive areas: vegetable wax is the most suitable for this type of skin or for applying to the most delicate areas of our body. It is a product with little elasticity and may not be suitable for parts of the body such as the legs.
Healthy and strong skin: hair removal creams are those that do not remove the hair from the root but burn it, so healthy and strong skin that is not prone to irritation or inflammation can use this type of hair removal.
White skin with dark hair: the Alexandrite laser is perfect for women with this type of skin and hair, although it is characterized by being the most painful laser.

Most common skin and hair in Spain: in this case, the diode laser is the most effective and can be applied at any time of the year, but as long as the skin is not tanned. It is also perfect for male hair because it works very well on thick hair.

All skin types: Razors are the quickest method for hair removal and are suitable for all skin types, although sensitive skin may suffer from irritation or ingrown hairs.

Which method best suits your lifestyle?

If you are looking for a thorough hair removal method that is painless and time-saving, you should choose the classic method of shaving the wet area with a razor . However, hair shaved directly on the skin surface grows back in one to three days.

For those who dream of smooth legs for weeks, but are not afraid of a little pain or have sensitive skin, an electric epilator is the best option.

For those who want a cost-effective method of having smooth skin that lasts between one and two months, we recommend waxing. Hot and cold wax kits are very suitable for home treatments.

Do you want to have smooth legs and armpits quickly, but are afraid of hurting yourself with the razor? Try depilatory creams.

And for those who want to get rid of problematic hair permanently, laser treatment is the best option.

Types of Hair Removal

There are currently many types of hair removal, and the type you choose will depend on different aspects such as your skin type, how often you wax, or your lifestyle, and you should choose the one that best suits you and your needs.

1. Shaving with a razor

This is the most commonly used method, the quickest and easiest way to remove hair from any part of the body. You can do it comfortably at home. But it has the disadvantage that the hair is not pulled out by the roots, so it grows back in a short period of time.

2. Waxing

This is one of the most traditional methods. It is still used because it is cheaper and because it is a long-lasting and fast technique. It adapts very well to any part of the body.

There are several types of waxing: cold, hot or warm.

3. Depilation with cream

Like the previous method, its effectiveness is quite poor, since the hair is shaved, not pulled out by the roots, so it grows in 2 or 3 days.

It has the advantage of being completely painless and does not irritate the skin. Its use is very simple: spread the cream on the area to be treated, leave it to act for a while and remove with a spatula.

4. Threading

This method is more recommended for facial areas (moustache, eyebrows, chin...), as it is very suitable for outlining and defining.

It is fast, painless and very effective. But it is not suitable for larger areas, due to a question of time and patience…

5. Hair removal with mechanical devices

Electric razors are a very common type of hair removal, as they are comfortable to use, long-lasting and fast. However, the downside is that they are quite painful and tend to cause problems with ingrown hairs.

6. Laser hair removal

This is the most popular and in-demand type of hair removal currently. Its main advantage is its effectiveness as it is a permanent way to remove hair.

There are several types of lasers depending on the type of hair and skin, but all of them are equally effective and although they are more expensive, their effectiveness and results are unmatched.

7. Pulsed Light Hair Removal

This hair removal is similar to laser in that it is also completely permanent. It has the added advantage of being effective for all skin types (laser works best on darker skin).

The cost is also higher, but it is completely definitive, which is an important advantage.

8. Thermochemical hair removal

Thermochemical hair removal is a painless and very effective type of hair removal. It is relatively unknown. It consists of applying a chemical element that reacts to heat, destroying the hair root.
