See, I used this hair-removal product the other day. I’d heard that they ruin your skin and burn a lot, but that didn’t happen to me. I thought it was really good. Anyone else think the same as me??

i agree! i use veet & it doesn’t burn on me, it works, & i get good results!

answer mine?

I mean what is the science behind it and how does it actually remove the hair? I don’t want to wax because I always end up having ingrowing hair. Will hair removal cream also cause ingrowing hair? What are the negative side effects that hair removal cream has because I read that it screws up your skin?

First the science bit!

hair removal creams (or depilatories) contain chemicals that break down keratin, the principal protein that forms hair strands. Any hair exposed to it will effectively disintergrate so it can be wiped away. It doesn’t get rid of hair below the skin, so is not as long-lasting as waxing, but the new growth is softer than if you shave.

It is unlikely to cause ingrowing hairs, because the hair is only removed to skin level.

Always do a patch test first if you are worried about sensitivity and do not leave on for longer than recommended.

As long as you don’t have an allergy to it it will actually leave your skin very soft because they contain moisturisers.

I get ezcema so not all creams suit me but I find Veet In Shower works great and is faster than waxing or shaving. Give it a go!

I have very sensitive skin, so I can’t put on any hair removal creams or wax, as i’ll get serious break-outs and irritations.

I cannot do threading because I simply CAN’T handle the pain, so what other options are there available to me to remove facial hair? I have "peach-fuzz" on the side of my face, and underneath my chin. It’s really annoying, and I hate the look of it. I’m a female, so it isn’t too attractive.

Any other products out there?

nair sensitive…idk that sucks im really sorry but i bet people dont even notice it if it is peach fuzz

When there are people with hypertrichosis (wolfboy) that can’t hold down a job because they have hair on their face they can’t get rid of.

Good point. Perhaps the question better to ask is, why those with this condition don’t have the treatment to remove the hair by killing the follicles growing hair? Honestly, as a hairstylist that knows there are solutions for this issue, but for those who have no hair it’s not so easy.

Which lasts longer? Which is most sure to get rid of my hair? Which takes a shorter amount of time/sessions? Which is less expensive?

Electrolysis is FDA approved for permanent hair removal while Laser hair removal is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal will remove 90% of your hair +/- 10% so you can reasonably expect 80% of your hair to be removed. The percentage of hair removed is dependent upon hair color, density, and skin tone. Depending on your skin tone and hair color/coarseness I cant tell you how effective LHR would be for you, but Electrolysis will get rid of all the hair treated. I do not know the exact time for each session but I would assume LHR is faster than electrolysis. I’m not sure of the costs of electrolysis but LHR breaks down like this per treatment:

Full face – $250-650
Upper lip – $100-300
Chin – $100-300
Underarms (both) – $150-250
Regular bikini – $150-450 (definition at each clinic is different – ask!)
Brazilian bikini – $250-500
Half legs (both) – $250-650
Half arms (both) – $250-650
Butt – $200-400
Back – $300-800
Chest – $150-450 (ask for definition)
Abdomen – $150-400 (ask for definition)

Im looking for a permanent hairhair removal product that is not much money, any ideas?

walgreens honey

Thinking about getting laser hair removal on my back hair.

Whenever I shave with a razor now, it’s like my t-shirts get stuck to my skin. I guess it makes my skin kind of like sand paper and the shirt can’t sit right. I wouldn’t want t shirts to permanently be like that because it’s annoying. Will laser hair removal do that too or will it make my skin smooth?

laser hair removal removes the hair completely from the follicle.. so there should be no stubs.. some people have hair that grow back but it most cases it’s very smooth

I’m considering buying a lazer hair removal device but as they are a lot of money, i really don’t want to waste it when i find that they are no good, has anyone ever used one before and what are the best models/brands to consider?

Risks of Laser Hair Removal Device (Kits) at Home

Slower than professional treatments
Not all Laser hair removal device at home are as effective as professional hair removal. So they are slower than professional treatments. It work best in small areas like lower legs, underarms and bikini lines rather than big areas like hairy men’s backs.

Risk of burns
African-Americans and other dark-skinned people can’t use laser hair removal device at home because of a risk of burns.

Risk of infection
Laser not only remove the hair, but also kill the root. So you must have a good home in the sanitary conditions to use laser hair removal device to avoid risk of infection.

Risk of scar
You must have the basic skills required to use the laser hair removal device at home to avoid accidents do happen and avoid to risk of scar.

In summary, I recommend that prudent to pay a laser hair removal device at home though home laser hair removal machines are improving every day and are more user-friendly and safe.

need suggestions or recommendations on any hair removal products from upper lip hair removal to hair removal for the legs. When you say the product please mention what you used it for. I heard Nair was good but not as Good as Veet. Somebody tell me please. I need help. thank you

i don’t like epilatories, they can damage the skin, i use simple shaving, with the 5 bladed razor, it does good. now for the face, waxing hurts but can be effective, or sally’s carries gaurded razors for the face. they are yellow pink and mint green in the package. in a salon they refer to it as waxless hair remover and charge a fortune, but its just a special razor that keeps the hair from growing back thick.

I am really tired of having to shave all the time, what is the best form of hair removal that lasts a long time?

Waxing lasts longer than shaving or hair creme remover.
