No Pain Hair Removal Treatments

It seems as if mankind has been trying to find a method of no-pain hair removal for centuries. Cave paintings from prehistoric times reveal that early man removed follicles from his face by using two seashells as tweezers. To this very day, tweezers--albeit those of a more sophisticated variety--remain far and away the most popular choice for those seeking to get rid of unwanted facial hair.

In 30,000 BC, early man made a remarkable discovery in the area of follicle removal: flint blades. These blades could become scalpel-sharp when properly prepared and were quite effective tools in the quest for efficient hair removal. The blades dulled quite quickly, making these implements, in effect, the world's first disposable razor blades. Flint blades didn't exactly offer a no-pain approach to hair removal. Fortunately, the pain threshold seemed to be much higher back then. Early man used these blades to carve interesting and ornate designs into his skin. Oftentimes, colorful inks and dyes were added, with the end result being brightly hued tattoos.

Around 4000 to 3000 BC, things got even more interesting. Women began utilizing all sorts of unusual approaches when it came to the removal of body hair. Depilatory creams become all the rage with these ladies. Alas, many of these depilatories were made using ingredients that were inadvisable or downright dangerous. Popular choices included arsenic, quicklime and starch.
