Once I have used anne french but it doesnot suit my skin. I want to use some better hair removal cream. It will be better if anyone tell me the name and also if there is any alternative way to remove the hairs permanently. Please help.
Jolen or Veet are good brands. I think VLCC also offers some products on this material.
Im a guy, who shaves almost everyother day…IT SUCKS! And if i shave too much "the green spot" appears. And my beard hair never stops growing
Put it this way I hate shaving, is there a surgery that keeps the hair from growing again? Where theirs no more shaving involved?
laser (most expensive) or electrolysis (expensive + ouch factor)
I hate shaving because I have sensitive skin, (yes I use shaving cream designed for sensitive skin) I’ve tried nair, veet, and don’t get me started on home waxing kits :p What should I do?
I have tried everything under the sun pretty much and nothing has been very effective. I would get a wax from a salon but I’m not sure if I could afford it.
smooth away? Pumice Rock? Laser?
I was told that laser hair removal requires about 6 treatments. She also said that the hair will be minimized enough so that you do not have to shave anymore. Can someone please clarify this? Can you still see hair after all your treatments? And is the laser hair reduction permanent after all the treatments?
Laser hair removal has been FDA approved for "permanent hair reduction" This means it is effective 90% of the time give or take 10% so you could reasonably expect that more than 80 of the hairs in the area you are looking to treat will be permanently removed.
Late spring, summer, and early fall are usually the months when fleas and ticks are at their worst. Some areas have nice climates year round, these areas have year round fleas as well. Your dog may be an inside dog; that does not mean that he is immune. Just taking your dog out to use the bathroom can start a flea infestation. A variety of other animals (stray cats and dogs, squirrels, etc) comb neighborhoods, these can very easily drop unwanted visitors at your door, literally.
There are products on the market to help control the pests that get on your animal as well as those that get in your yard, your vet can recommend the best products for you to use for your dog’s safety.
You also need to do some other ‘home maintenance’ things. Some of these include:
1. Anything your pet spends much time on should be cleaned as best it can. For instance, if he uses his own bed, wash it in hot water and dry on high heat. If he spends time on the couch, vacuum it regularly (your vet may recommend a mild pesticide be use on the couch (and other places your dog uses a lot), depending on infestation and severity.
2. Vacuum your entire house, washing any throw rugs. Often flea eggs are dropped from the pet into the carpet through shedding. Just because they are no longer on your dog doesn’t mean that they are not viable. These eggs will hatch and grow just as they would if they were on your dog.
3. Brush your dog frequently. Combs designed for lice removal in humans make excellent combs for flea and flea egg removal in short-haired dogs. Longer hair is more difficult unless you have a very passive dog that will allow you to comb down to the skin with the tiny combs but are better done with flea combs designed for dogs. Bathing should be done at least bi-weekly and a good conditioner (oatmeal-based is great) should be applied to help sooth your dog’s skin.
4. Keep your lawn mowed, believe it or not, this helps with flea infestation.
I Can’t Get My Dog’s Liquid Medicine Down
Face it; there are times that we have to medicate our dogs. Usually it’s just not much fun; flailing legs, squirming bodies, and twisting heads are not a joyful experience for either one of you. These tips should help you accomplish this feat. Remember to follow all medication instructions and dosage requirements.
1. Have a treat ready if the medication doesn’t have to be taken on an empty stomach.
2. Measure the medicine into the dropper.
3. Sooth your dog through calm movements and soft words.
4. Wrap one arm around the dog’s neck, between your thumb and first finger, take hold of the lower jaw.
5. Tilt the nose up, but not straight up.
6. Insert the dropper’s tip toward the back of the cheek without opening the mouth.
7. Slowly squeeze the dropper’s ‘bubble’ letting a constant, slow flow of the medication into your dog’s mouth. He will swallow instinctively.
Extra tips, in case your dog is a bit harder to control:
1. Flailing dogs can be wrapped in towels (or blankets for larger dogs).
2. Give high praise and a treat when the process is over (as long as the medication does not need to be taken on an empty stomach).
3. Keep the dog’s body in front of you.
4. There are new ways to flavor pet medications. Certain pharmacists and veterinarians can perform this service for little cost.
Using these instructions and tips, you should be able to successfully give your dog the medication he needs in a less traumatic experience for both of you. High praise for anything good always reinforces good behavior, so every successful attempt should be treated as an exceptional feat for him. He will continue to improve, eventually making the process quite simple.

Stretch marks have often been a reason for us to be self-conscious. Because of these scars, our confidence level in wearing a string bikini hits rock bottom. Anybody can relate, that is why there are many techniques on how stretch marks can either be entirely removed or reduced and made less noticeable.
According to doctors, stretch marks are not hazardous to one’s health. Having them does not limit the body to function properly. In fact, stretch marks are like scars. And just like scars, stretch marks are damages to the dermis. What makes it difficult to deal with is because they can be too dark and too ugly to look at.
Some people resort to lotion and topical creams. They diligently and religiously apply these on the surface and hope that there will be improvements. In some cases, there are. In others, it does not. At least, not as much as they expected it to work.
There are so many ways on how you can remove or reduce those pesky stretch marks. Here are some of the latest:
1. Retin-A Treatment
This is what doctors normally recommend. You cannot purchase Retin-A without a prescription. However, this solution works best if the stretch marks are less than a year old. For you to know when the perfect time to try this remedy is if your stretch marks still have a pink or reddish color. Problem is, not all stretch marks start off with that color. There are limitations when you can use this. Do not use Retin-A if you are pregnant and breast-feeding because this might have a side effect on the infant. The way for you to know if the solution is working for you is if you feel a burning and peeling sensation on the surface you applied it on. This means that the new generation of collagen is replacing the old damaged one.
2. Micro-Dermabrasion Treatment
In this process, chemical materials containing micro-crystals are sprayed on the skin using a device similar to a vacuum cleaner. This treatment required multiple sessions, normally 10 to 12 sessions in a span of three to four months. Unfortunately, micro-dermabrasion treatment is brutally painful. Some who tried this said that it was similar to being lashed and whipped. The process may also create additional scars. After one session, you are not allowed to go directly under the sun so as to not have further side effects. At the moment, researchers are still looking on the effectiveness of this surgical remedy.
3. Laser Treatment
Laser or Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation has been used in eye surgeries and removal of tattoos. Laser has been proven to be highly effective when it comes to surgeries. With it, wrinkles, scars, acne, facial and body hair have been successfully removed. In removing stretch marks, the procedure can be very painful. There would be bruising, scabbing, peeling and redness after the session. Multiple sessions are required in the treatment. However, just like all remedies, this does not work for everyone.
Technology has been helpful in our lives. Latest discoveries make life easier for us. As it turns out, these discoveries in technology also contribute in enhancing aesthetic appeal. Whether the stretch marks be completely removed or merely reduced, at least the conducted processes are proof that technology assists us in many ways imaginable.

Kalo inhibits hair regrowth, slowing down its regrowth cycle and making hair softer in the process. Softer, finer hair is easier to remove. Some men even use it on their face to make daily shaving easier!
