Hair-Removal Products

Hair-removal products have come of age from being applied in the comfort of a person’s bathroom to requiring a visit to a professional facility for laser treatments. Before the advancement of hair-removal lasers, a variety of home-use removal products filled the pharmaceutical industry. The most popular forms included:

  • Shaving creams and foams
  • Waxes
  • Chemical depilatories
  • Electrolysis systems

Professionals at beauty and skincare facilities provide waxing, electrolysis, and, somewhat more recently, laser treatments to remove hair. The FDA cleared the first laser for this use in the early 1990s, opening up a wide marketplace for the hair-removal product lines and professional services.

Hair-Removal Products and Services Contain a Mix of New and Old

With advancements in the medical field, consumers have numerous options for obtaining safe and straightforward hair-removal products and services. Many spas offer treatments to complement the laser process and overall skin treatments. Hydro-cool serums have been designed to offer enhanced cooling properties to the skin and aid in more hydration.

Patients should evaluate the techniques and products used in a skincare facility to see whether they are currently rated and up to date. Basically, a person should take the same approach to choosing a laser-treatment professional as she would in selecting a health-care provider. One thing to look for is whether a hair-removal specialist is member of a professional organization and has a certificate prominently displayed.
