Hair Removal Solutions

One of the more interesting hair-removal solutions was practiced by Greek women in 400 BC. These women got rid of unwanted follicles on their legs by singeing it off with the aid of very hot lamps. Today, of course, there are other hair-removal solutions that don't require quite as much risk of personal injury.

A popular approach taken by many women and men seeking to bid adieu to unwanted fuzz is electrolysis. In this process, a very thin metal needle is inserted into the hair follicle. The needle discharges an electrical current, which is said to stop hair growth permanently. Results vary, depending on factors like the quantity of hair being treated, its structure and its growth cycle. Side effects of electrolysis include:

  • Redness
  • Whiteheads
  • Tiny scabs in the area that has been treated

How well you tolerate electrolysis depends on your own personal pain threshold, as well as on the area of the body being treated. Some undergo this procedure with minimum discomfort while for others, the process is considerably more arduous. This hair-removal solution tends to work best in removing unwanted follicles from moderately sensitive areas, such as the eyebrow region and upper lip. Though electrolysis can and has been performed on the genital region, many report that the pain involved in having this procedure performed on this area of the body can be excruciating.
