Permanent Hair Removal - Is it Possible?

When we hear the words "permanent hair removal" we shudder with excitement. How fantastic would it be to rid yourself of unwanted body hair for all of eternity?! Pretty fantastic. But can this be a reality? I'm not convinced.

The fact of the matter is that permanent hair removal is somewhat of a myth. It's only really been in the past decade that people have been getting these kinds of treatments. Most people don't even see complete and permanent hair removal, and the ones who do have no way of knowing if the hair will grow back in twenty years from now.

What does exist, however, is permanent hair reduction. This has to do with getting laser treatments to rid yourself of hair. The way it works is the more you go, the less hair you will have. It removes hair for long periods of time, has it grow back slower and thinner. This is a great start for those of us who are holding our breath for the day when a cheap, over the counter product can deliver on the dream of permanent hair removal.

The two major options we have right now are electrolysis and laser. This is a great start. While electrolysis is said to be stronger and work faster than laser, laser is cheaper and is said to reduce hair from between 40% - 80%. This is great news if you fall around the 80%, but a little disappointing if you're around the 40%. The great thing about laser hair removal is definitely that it's becoming available for home use at a fraction of the cost for treatments in the salon. While this won't help you achieve permanent hair removal, it will stay by your side as long as you need it and overtime you will be able to achieve great results!

In my next article I'll be reviewing at home permanent hair removal products. There are three, specifically, that I will be talking about including the No! No!, Tria, and Silk'n. I have two out of these three products that I have tried at home and will give you a thorough review of both, and I have a sister who used the third so I'll be able to review that one honestly, as well. All of these products are afforable when you compare them to what you would be paying over the years for shaving and waxing, and I think they're all better options than non permaent hair removal.

Thanks for reading and come back soon for more information and reviews and opinions about permanent hair removal.

Permanent Hair Removal

A lot of us shudder at the sight of body hair. In the past, we have had limited hair removal options and permanent hair removal wasn't really one of them. We could shave, we could wax, we could use a hair removal cream, we could Nair, we could thread but the fact remained that none of these were permanent. In fact, they are so temporary that they not only are dissatisfying, they burn a nice hole in our wallet!

Luckily for us, this is the 21st century and temporary hair removal is a thing of the past. Permanent hair removal is what we all want and we now how a lot of options when it comes to achieving this. Whether it's your legs, arms, back, bikini area, underarms, upper lip or any other part of the body, there are ways to get rid of the hair FOREVER (or at least give us a year or two of no worrying) .

Permanent hair removal now comes in different forms and "permanent" doesn't always mean permanent. So it's important to understand what we're talking about! First we have temporary hair removal. By temporary I don't mean shaving. I mean temporary permanent hair removal. This can get confusing, but its simply means that the hair will stay away for a long time. You'll usually get about a month or two of smooth skin with temporary. This is also called semi-permanent hair removal.

Next we have long term hair removal. This can last anywhere from 4 months to a year and a half. And the more often you go in for treatment the longer your hair will generally stay away! You will also find hair reduction. This isn't permanent hair removal, but in most cases it permanently reduces the amount of hair that will grow. And the more you do it, the less hair you will see and eventually you won't have to worry about regrowth at all!

It's important to know that with permanent hair removal, no method works the same on two clients. It might work better for your friend or your sister than it will on you so you shouldn't go into the process with unrealistic expectations. What you should go into a permanent hair removal treatment with is a positive attitude. Most of the time it's not a quick fix and it takes at least a few sessions over a few months to see the full results. Considering the combined time and money most of us will spend in our lives shaving or waxing, permanent hair removal, though expensive, is a wise investment.

Thanks to new technology in the beauty and hair removal industries, we are now able to get permanent hair removal from the comfort of our own homes. Though this method isn't usually as effective and immediate as it would be in the salon, it's cheaper and a great alternative for those who are shy about having a trained technician perform a rather "invasive" procedure on them. Additionally, at home hair removal can and will be just as effective as salon treatments as long as you are persistent, follow directions, and stick with it.

On this site I'll be reviewing all of your permanent hair removal options, from salon laser hair removal treatments, to at home laser hair removal treatments, to electrolysis and other methods. I'll also talk about more temporary hair removal treatments such as waxing, which is a great way to slow down hair growth while you save up to afford a more permanent hair removal solution.
