Guide To Popular Hair Removal Techniques

Waxing

Waxing provides longer-lasting results than shaving, and it can be performed at home or a spa. This technique involves spreading warm wax on the skin and covering the area with thin strips of cloth. Once the wax dries, the strips are quickly pulled off the skin, removing the wax and underlying hair. Certain types of wax are suitable for use without cloth strips. Waxing kits designed for home use typically include strips that already have wax applied to them. Waxing is a suitable hair removal technique for any part of the body. The face, underarms, legs, and bikini area are some of the areas that are most commonly waxed. 

Waxing keeps areas free of hair for between three to six weeks. Since hair needs to be at least 0.25 inches long for effective waxing, patients should let their hair grow for a few weeks before using this technique. Occasionally, waxing could result in infection around the patient's hair follicles. This is more likely to occur for patients who wax infrequently. Bumps and redness in the waxed area could develop as well, and these side effects are usually minor and temporary.
