Facial Hair Removal For Women
By James RankinOur bodies are covered with hair, mostly vellus hair (which is soft nearly invisible hair) and to a lesser extent coarser hair in specific areas of our bodies. Women generally have less visible body hair and facial hair (except for the eyebrows).
Some women do have noticeable hair growing on their faces however facial hair in a women is not unusual and will usually be:
Hair on the cheeks which can be from one to a few that begin to grow or even a shadow down the side. Some women, specially if they have dark hair, can get a slight growth on the upper lip and occasional the stray hair on the chin.
The eyebrows. We all have eyebrows but they are all different and it is quite common for women to beautify them and reshape them, including removing a bit.
A greater amount of facial hair can be quite normal due to ethnic or hereditary factors and most women will seek a way to remove the excess facial hair. But it can also be due to other causes - especially if this happens in a short period of time. If this is the case you should consult a doctor.
Ways of Removing Facial Hair
There are a few alternatives for facial hair removal, however the actual choice or the best choice for you will depend on a few things like: the amount of hair that needs removing, the frequency, how you feel about it (for example lathering your face and shaving doesn't sound very appetizing), how easy or difficult it can be and yes, the price.
One of the disadvantages of unwanted hair is that, quite simply it grows back at regular intervals. A lot of women, and men for that matter, who practice regular hair removal want to find a permanent solution. Most methods are temporary though some can be for a day or two, while others are longer lasting. Electrolysis is the only hair removal method that the FDA has recognized as a permanent removal method. Lasering hasn't quite reached that stage because more studies need to be registered. The FDA therefore allows it to be presented as a permanent hair reduction (not removal) system. In other countries lasering is allowed to be sold as a permanent hair removal method.
The main facial hair removal systems available are:
Shaving.
There are two basic methods used for shaving - by means of an electric razor or with what is known as a wet razor. Both are easily available over the counter. Shaving does not promote hair growth. When someone shaves, what happens is that the hair is cut above the follicle. This cut leaves the hair, just above the skin, at an edge and this in turn makes it feel harder as it is pointed. It doesn't make hair grow either quicker or force more hairs out.
Plucking.
This is the same as pulling out the hair. A very handy method for eliminating (until it regrows) small amounts of hair - perhaps the lone ranger on the chin. For larger areas it will be much more painful and the surrounding skin may swell.
- Tweezing. You pluck out the hair using a pair of tweezers. Catch the individual hair and pull out, preferably against the growth direction. Regrowth will take a few days as the hair has been pulled out with roots included.
- Another plucking method is by threading. This is an ancient method used for plucking greater amount of hairs. The hairs are twisted onto a thread and then pulled out. Some people find it to be a very efficient method but as it is pulling out a group of hairs you may want to try it out over small amounts so you can adjust to your pain threshold.
Wax Hair Removal.
This is another option many women use and in fact is a variation on the plucking option. One of the advantages of the waxing method is that the hair grows back over a more extended period of time as it has been pulled out by the roots and also because regular use tends to weaken the hair due to follicle damage.
Lasering.
This is a hair removal method that destroys hair through heat. A ray of light is targeted at the hair and the hair is zapped. Any observation on lasering has to mention that this is a safe method if applied by an expert. Just about every negative feedback you may get is because a truly qualified professional was not used. This then suggests that your do a bit of research and very importantly get personal references. Lasering cannot be classified (according to the FDA) as a permanent "removal" system but can be presented as a permanent "reduction" method in the US.
Electrolysis.
This is the other method (see lasering) that has to be applied by a properly qualified professional. The principle behind electrolysis is that a needle is gently inserted onto the individual hair follicle and then an electrical current is released. The end result is that the hair follicle is destroyed. Thus it is a permanent hair removal method.
