Steps

Method 1 of 2: Daily solutions

1. 

   Use hair removal cream. Hair removal creams are hair removal products by dissolving hair at the surface of the skin. Usually, these products come in a lotion-like form or a shampoo-like form, and can be found in pharmacies at relatively low prices. If you want to use this method, you should carefully read the product label when buying to make sure you are not sensitive to the ingredients in it, and remember to use exactly as directed.
   • Advantages: No pain. Easy to use.
   • Defect: Must be used regularly (hairs will regrow at a normal rate). There may be an unpleasant odor.
   • Note: For best results, use depilatory cream after bathing, when the hair is softest. Do not use body products that are applied to your face, as these may contain stronger chemicals. Read our article on using depilatory cream for more information.

2. 

   
   
   Try a hair removal pad. Another product that is also useful is the "hair removal pad". This product basically works like a polishing tool: you rub the rough surface of the hair removal pad against your skin with short, quick movements with moderate pressure, and the hair is gently removed. Hair removal pads can "polish" small areas of skin, so this method is best when used to remove small patches of hair.
   • Advantages: Doesn't cause pain when used properly. Do not burn your skin if you use lotions, lotions, etc. after waxing.
   • Defect: Waste of time.
   • Note: This product will erode the skin, causing it to look rough after waxing. You may then need to apply lotion to compensate for the moisture. Wash and dry the wax after use.

   Se fur with thread. This method of hair removal originated in Turkey for centuries and is popular all over the world. When twisting with thread, people will use a cotton thread to gather hair, twist the thread and pull up.

   • Advantages: Better for skin than waxing. Suitable for sensitive skin. The effect lasts for weeks.
   • Defect: Can cause pain. Effective mostly only on flat (no joints) surfaces. Can not be done at home.
   • Note: Take the time to find a groom with a good judgment. An astringent can make the astringent process less painful much.

4. 

   
   
   
   
   Try tweezers. Tweezers are a traditional and effective hair removal tool that you can use to pinch and pluck out unwanted hairs. This method is relatively painful and usually only involves plucking a few hairs, as it will be very uncomfortable to pull out a lot.
   • Advantages: Exactly; allows you to pluck each correct hair to remove.
   • Defect: Pain. Time consuming, unless just plucking a few hairs. May cause mild irritation in some people.
   • Note: Wash tweezers before and after use. See the article "Avoiding grain when plucking" to reduce skin irritation when using tweezers.

5. 

   
   
   Wax removal. This popular hair removal method has a reputation for being quite intimidating, but usually not as bad as you might think. Wax waxing is a great way to treat stubborn hairs on your legs, armpits, bikini area and face (when used carefully and gently). This method is also suitable for people with rough, dark hair, in contrast to skin color. You can buy wax hair removers at a cosmetic store or through a beauty salon.
   • Advantages: Removes a lot of hair relatively quickly. Results last for weeks.
   • Defect: Pain, though it will be less painful after the first hair removal. Difficult to do at home; quite expensive if using professional services.

6. 

   
   
   Try sugar waxing. "Sugar hair removal" is a hair removal method just like waxing - a thick liquid is applied to the skin, left on for a while and pulled out from the same cloth. The difference here is the ingredients: unlike wax, the sugar wax uses natural ingredients (usually a honey-like mixture of sugar, lemon juice and water). This mixture is milder for some people (especially those with allergies).
   • Advantages: Removes a lot of hair relatively quickly. The effect lasts for weeks. Low risk of allergy / irritation. It can be done at home (with caution).
   • Defect: The pain is similar to wax waxing, although it should be less painful after the first time. Difficult to do at home. It is quite expensive to use a professional service.
   • Note: See our sugar hair removal guide for recipes and how to apply it.

7. 

   Try a depilator. The epilator is an instrument that works almost like an automatic tweezers to pluck the hair. However, unlike tweezers, this machine only plucks hair without pulling the surrounding skin, which will reduce pain. This is a convenient tool, because it is able to pluck hair quickly, can be used for many parts of the body and relatively less painful.
   • Advantages: Removes a lot of hair relatively quickly. The effect lasts for weeks. Faster than plucking hair by hand. It is milder on the skin for some people.
   • Advantages: It hurts a bit, although it will decrease after first use. Less need for cleaning / care.

Method 2 of 2: Permanent solutions

1. 

   Consider laser therapy. Laser hair removal is one of the most popular beauty treatments in use today. In the process, highly concentrated rays of light target each hair follicle and destroy them. Usually hairs will not regrow almost permanently after 3-7 treatments.
   • Advantages: Fast, relatively painless. Ease of access thanks to popularity.
   • Defect: Pain and redness similar to sunburn for many days. Temporary blistering, discoloration of the skin. The pain may be more painful with side effects, but is rare.
   • Note: Treated hair will fall out in about a month, not immediately. Customers are often advised to use sunscreen to protect the depilatory area.
   • Cost: Oscillate; about 235 USD for one treatment.

2. 

   Consider electrotherapy. During electrocautery, a small and very thin probe is used to destroy individual hair follicles with shortwave radiofrequency, then the hair is removed with tweezers. This technique will cause the hair to fall off almost permanently after several treatments. Electrocautery is the right method for most people.
   • Advantages: Overall very little discomfort. Treatment is fast and only requires a few treatments.
   • Defect: May cause temporary pain and redness.
   • Note: Make sure to choose a qualified and reputable specialist. Poor technique can cause more pain.
   • Cost: Ranging, about 25-150 USD / hour.

3. 

   Understand that a small amount of hair can regrow hair even with these methods. Unfortunately, there is currently no "permanent" hair removal method. Despite the above methods may causes hair to stop growing permanently, but is not 100% guaranteed. After a few years, a small amount of hair may regrow, so you may need additional therapy. You should keep this in mind when deciding to use hair removal treatments.

4. 

   Talk to your doctor before pursuing any "permanent" solution. Although both laser and electrocautery are certified by the US Food and Drug Administration as safe when performed by a specialist, there is still a very small risk ratio (but still happening). For example, in a few isolated cases, life-threatening symptoms have been reported that occurred in some people who used excessive facial anesthetic creams in laser therapy.
   • For this reason, it is extremely important to discuss these procedures with your doctor before you agree to them. Only your doctor can know for sure which method (if used) is safe and right for you.
