Treatments For Unwanted Body Hair

There are many treatments for getting rid of unwanted body hair, but few come with a history as old as that of sugaring. This treatment for hair removal has been in existence for thousands of years and reportedly played an integral part in the beauty routines practiced by the ancient Egyptians.

In some ways, sugaring is similar to waxing. A strip is applied to the treatment area, and it is yanked off moments later, taking unwanted body hair with it. Still, there are significant differences between the two. First of all, unlike waxing, sugaring utilizes only natural ingredients--typically sugar, lemons and water. Secondly, sugaring is said to involve less pain, since the mixture used is designed to adhere only to the follicles being removed. With waxing, the mixture sticks to the skin.

Sugaring paste may be made at home with items from your cupboard. Perfecting the consistency requires some skill and practice. The treatment area is typically given a light dusting of powder just prior to application. The sugaring solution is then spread on a spatula or a similarly flat applicator and layered onto the skin.

Next, a strip of paper or cloth is pressed into the paste, and then it is yanked back in a direction opposite that of the hair's growth pattern. With this step, the unwanted body hair is removed.

Banish Unwanted Body Hair with Laser Removal Services

With sugaring, the results last only as long as the unwanted body hair's next growth cycle. Laser removal services are excellent for those seeking more permanent solutions. With laser technology, the hair follicle is destroyed, aborting future growth. NuU Medspa offers skilled laser removal services.
