For centuries men and women alike have been searching for the easiest ways of hair removal. Long, dark and thick hair can be a pain to get rid of, but even light fuzz has caused problems. Hair removal treatments are most popularly used on the legs, underarms, bikini area and face. Luckily, thanks to revolutionary designs, there are many ways to get rid of unwanted hair. Unfortunately, however, there are many hair removal products that might be well advertised, but don’t work at all. Here are some popular methods of hair removal that are proven to actually work.

Laser or Pulsed Light Hair Removal

One of the easiest and most popular ways of hair removal is laser hair removal or pulsed light hair removal. Both of these methods ultimately do the same thing; they send energy down the hair follicle to destroy the hair at its root. During the treatment, hair loss is not immediate. Instead it weakens and falls out soon after. Silk’n Flash and Go is one of the products that use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to destroy the hair, and prevent future hair growth. The Flash and Go system is unique because most laser treatments take place in a salon, but with this at home treatment, you could get even more sessions for less money with Flash and Go’s replicable cartridges. Laser or IPL treatments are best used on people with dark hair. These treatments are so popular because they can be used all over the body, and the hair will not grow back for months at a time. This takes away the hassle of shaving constantly.

Waxing

Waxing has been around for ages. Luckily, however, we have advanced from the sticky treatments that used honey in the past. Now the waxing techniques hurt a lot less because of specially formulated cream that sticks only to the hair and doesn’t stick to the skin. There are many at home wax kits, but experts suggest that getting waxed at a salon is better because it’s more sanitary.

Vaniqa

Vaniqa is different from other popular hair removal methods because it is a prescription topical cream. Vaniqa contains eflornithine which actually blocks the enzyme responsible for hair growth. Blocking the enzyme makes the hair growth in the area of application slow and stops. Vaniqa can be used on its own, but is mostly recommended to slow hair growth for even longer after laser hair removal. On its own, Vaniqa is usually applied twice a day and needs to be applied for about 8 weeks before results are seen. Vaniqa is usually used for those struggling with excess hair on the face.

Electrolysis

Another effective method of hair removal is electrolysis. Although electrolysis is effective, unfortunately it is an uncomfortable process. This hair removal method inserts a small needle into your hair follicle and shoots an electrical charge through the hair to kill the hair at its root. This treatment is permanent but requires many sessions.

Excess hair or very dark hair can impede confidence and make us feel self-conscious about our bodies. Thankfully there are many options of hair removal that are painless and easy. If you’re unsure of which hair removal treatment is best for you, talk to your doctor or dermatologist for recommendations.

Flash and Go is a beauty tool that both women and men can use to remove hair from many locations on the body. It is one of the most successful hair removal tool currently on the market.
