Various ways to remove hair on the body

1. Shaving

  • Ways of working: A razor will trim the hair shaft that sticks out from the surface of the skin. Shavers are available in single-use variants, refill knives, or electric. In men, this method of removing hair is used to shave a beard and mustache. Whereas women to remove hair on the armpits, legs and their bikini area.
  • Long stay: 1-3 days
  • Pro: Razors are relatively inexpensive and you can do it yourself. All you need is warm water, a shaver, and if you like, a cream or shaving gel.
  • Counter: Hot skin, bumps, scratches, and ingrown hair, i.e. hair that tends to grow back around the tissue, not from inside the gland, and then grows opposite to the skin so that it can cause irritation. In many cases ingrown hair can occur due to regular shaving.

2. Unplug the Fur

  • Ways of working: Expand the area of ​​the desired skin, pinch the strands of hair with a pair of tweezers, and pull them out to the roots.
  • Long stay: 3-8 weeks
  • Pro: Cheap. You only need a pair of tweezers, but it takes a lot of time because you have to pull the hair one by one. But using an epilator can be an alternative because you can pull out a lot of hair for a single pin.
  • Counter: Sick. Just like the shaving technique, hair that is pulled down under the skin can cause ingrown hair. You may also experience red bumps on the skin caused by swollen and irritated hair glands after removing hair. Epilator is not a good idea to use in areas such as eyebrows because it can cause a lot of hair to be pulled at once so it is rather difficult to control how much hair we want to pull.
  • Tips: Make sure you sterilize tweezers or other removal devices with alcohol before and after use to reduce the risk of infection.

3. Depilatory

  • Ways of working: Depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the surface of the skin by giving a chemical reaction to the structure of the protein from the hair, so that the hair will loose itself and stay washed.
  • Long stay: several days to 2 weeks
  • Pro: Depilatory provides results that are fast enough, inexpensive, and sold freely at pharmacies or minimarkets. Depilatory is very good for use on the legs, armpits, and bikini area. Special formulations may be needed for the face and chin.
  • Counter: The use of depilatory can be messy and many people don't like the smell. Sensitive skin can experience allergies from depilatory use and cause a rash or inflammation. Depilatory may also not be very effective for coarser hair.

4. Waxing

  • Ways of working: Liquid wax is applied to the desired area of ​​the skin, then covered with a piece of cloth and immediately removed immediately. The goal is to pull the roots of the hair together with dead skin cells. Waxing can be used in warm or cooled conditions. Waxing can also be done in a beauty clinic or at home.
  • Long stay: 3-6 weeks
  • Pro: The results of waxing are quite durable and make the skin area smooth. Waxing equipment is easily found in pharmacies or minimarkets. Hair that grows back will be less frequent and not too visible compared to other methods, such as shaving.
  • Counter: Pain, redness, bumps and inflammation may also occur after waxing. This treatment is also quite expensive if done at a beauty clinic. Not recommended for owners of sensitive skin.

5. Electrolysis

  • Ways of working: Through light-scale electricity that is channeled from a special device. Electricity is enough to "surprise" the hair roots so that they will detach themselves. Small areas such as the upper lip can take 4 to 10 hours while for a wider area such as a bikini area can take 8 to 16 hours.
  • Long stay: Permanent, even though some people experience back hair growth.
  • Pro: Some people get permanent results.
  • Counter: Electrolysis costs a lot and time, so it is usually only used for small areas such as the upper lip, eyebrows, and armpits. Many people describe the process as painful and the skin becomes dry, scars arise, and inflammation after treatment. The risk of infection may also occur if the needles and other devices are not sterile cleaned first.

6. Laser

  • Ways of working: The laser beam will be fired into the skin towards the hair gland, to stop its growth. Works very well in people with pale skin and dark hair because the melanin content (color pigment) in dark hair will absorb more light, so the process will be more effective.
  • Long timen: Maybe it's permanent, but you need to go back every 6 months for treatment.
  • Pro: This method lasts very long and can be applied to large areas of the skin simultaneously.
  • Counter: One session can cost quite a lot. Side effects of treatment can be inflammation and reddish skin.

Deciding to remove hair on the body is a personal choice. Removing hair from the body doesn't make a person healthier, and you don't have to do it if you really don't want to.
