The story of Epilation

Hand plucking
This method is simple and practical way to remove hairs one by one and can be used by most people to remove a small amount of unwanted hair. Hair should protrude above the skin at 3-4 mm, which you could grab them with tweezers and pull.
Plucking often pulls out the hairs that are in active growth phase, the anagen, thereby it stimulates the follicles in the growth of new hair. In addition, it can create irritation, hyperpigmentation, and very rarely, scarring.


Shaving
Despite the fact that shaving can quickly remove hair from large areas, it is the most short-lived method of hair removal because it removes only the hair from the skin, cutting off the hairs. Hair continues to grow, as well as their end "dumb" they are more visible on the surface of the skin than conventional tips with the end in a cone shape.
Disadvantages of this method is possible incision of the skin, the potential pyoderma, folliculitis, ingrown hairs and skin irritation. Many women can not use this method in some parts of the body such as the face and neck, as a few days later the result will be similar to men's stubble.


Wax depilation
The application of hot wax or sugar paste is often used in various beauty salons and spas, or applied to the skin surface, and then frustrated with unwanted hair. This method can be used on large areas of skin (eg hands, legs, back, chest), as well as small areas (nprimer, face, eyebrows, bikini area). New hair appear longer than shaving, because they must grow to the surface of the skin, before they become visible.
Tearing off strips of wax or sugar paste can cause unpleasant or painful and can cause adverse effects such as skin irritation, hyperpigmentation, scarring, or thermal burns from hot wax or inexperienced engineering of procedures.

Preparations for removing hair
Preparations containing sulfіd strontium are the most widely used chemical depilatory. These drugs break disulfide These agents disrupt the disulfide bridge (eg, cysteine), which contains the hair cells together, so the hair simply dissolve. Like shaving, this method provides only short-term relief from hair, and they continue to grow starting from the level surface of the skin
The main side effect, what they can razdrazht the skin and can lead to significant itching or a rash.

Bleaching of hair chemicals
Bleaching with hydrogen peroxide is an effective method of masking the presence of hair, but does not remove the hair, but only makes them white and less zmetnymi for human eyes.
This method is especially effective for people with thin but dark and therefore noticeable hair on arms, face and neck.


Electrolysis
Using the method of electrolysis can successfully get rid of unwanted hair permanently. Electrolysis method uses a low current which passes through the negative electrode (anode), which is inserted into the hair follicle and the positive electrode (cathode), as a conductor, which is attached to the patient's hand. Follicles are destroyed due to the formation of toxic sodium hydroxide solution (namely, its free radicals). Electrolysis uses an alternating current, which causes direct thermal destruction of hair follicles.
Each hair must be treated individually, which means the process of epilation is very slow and the procedure can be painful. Side effects include pain, scarring and hypo-or hyperpigmentation.



Laser Hair Removal
Beginning in 1996, began to use laser hair removal technology, and many successes have consolidated the study physicians, as a result, laser hair removal now available for everyone to remove excessive hair. Laser hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis, in other words, selective destruction of the follicle, which leads to a significant reduction of hair in the treated areas of the body.


Side effects are mainly related to exposure to heat, which is partially absorbed by the skin. This effect is more noticeable on dark skin of the face, because the increased concentration of melanin in the skin entails a greater risk of adverse effects. These negative effects include blisters, hypo-or hyperpigmentation, or even, very rarely leads to scar formation.
