Hair Removal
Hair removal usually begins in adolescence and seems to continue
until the day we die. Whether it is hair on the face, armpits, legs & arms,
bikini line, or other body parts, many women and men are intent upon
having the hair on their scalp be the only visible hair on their
bodies. With the emphasis on smooth, hairless skin, it is interesting
to note that excess hair, especially in women, is still a taboo subject.
You've got it, you know you don't want it, and it can appear anywhere.
Unwanted hair is common on the upper lip, chin, cheeks, on the
back, legs, fingers, feet or toes. It can be caused by a variety of
factors, including genetics, certain medications such as hormones or
steroids, or even medical abnormalities, such as higher androgen (male
hormone) levels or conditions of the endocrine system, such as
polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Have you already tried plucking? Most people can get used to this
painful method, but it won't work effectively on large areas covered
with unwanted hair. There are several hair removal strategies, but be
warned: None is 100% permanent.
Temporary vs. Permanent Hair Removal
Surveys indicate that 80% of women and over 50% of men have unwanted hair in various body areas. Much of this unwanted hair is genetic, but sometimes it is the result of other causes, for example, testosterone treatments. Humans have lost most of their body fur over the past few millions of years. Today, many still seek the "longest-lasting", "least painful", and "least expensive" methods for getting rid of unwanted hair. Hair removal salons report that men are increasingly interested in hair removal and that their male clientele ranges between 35% and 60% today.

Waxing Hair Removal Tips
To avoid the skin appearing darker after waxing, be careful not to expose the treated area to the sun for 48 hours after treatment. Alternatively use a good sun blocker cream on newly treated areas.
