There are several options for body hair removal.
Temporary hair reduction:
- Shave it. Shaving is a popular way to remove unwanted body hair, although hair tends to grow back quickly.
- Use a depilatory product, which temporarily removes hair by chemically dissolving it. When purchasing a depilatory product, be sure it is formulated for the area of the body on which you intend to use it. Does sensitivity test before using it on large areas, and follow directions carefully.
- Waxing. Consider waxing every 4 to 6 weeks, in which you apply hot or cold wax to an area of the skin with unwanted hair. The hair adheres to the wax and is removed when the wax is peeled off. Because waxing removes hair at the root, regrowth occurs slowly.
- Tweeze. Tweezing removes hair at the root, but is not practical for large areas of hair.
Permanent hair removal:
- Electrolysis. Using an electrical current, this process can remove some hair permanently by destroying the hair follicle. Home electrolysis devices are available, but most people opt for professional treatment. Large areas of unwanted hair may require several sessions.
- Laser Hair Removal. Laser treatment destroys hair follicles, but may not result in permanent hair removal. Laser treatments should be performed by a licensed professional.
