A Realistic View of Hair Removal and How To PrioritizeIt is important to have a realistic view when considering the subject of hair removal. Numerous methods are available and a bewildering array of products claim to be THE answer.
To avoid disappointment, it is important to realize that results from hair removal methods can vary considerably from person to person.Every individual is different when it comes to rate of hair growth, texture of hair, skin condition and pain toleration level. What works well on some does not work well on others. One visitor to a hair removal message board gave a summary of her efforts:-
"I have had electrolysis, laser (when it first came out), epil pro (another form of hair removal) . . . and have had problems with all.
Laser - when it first came out I was very eager so I had a patch test done on my arm which cost $600 and it left me with 2nd degree burns on my arm. I am scarred for life not being able to wear sleeveless T-shirts any more.
I have had Epil-Pro done for over a year about 2 hours a month @ $2.5 per minute but my hair is growing much stronger than before.This experience emphasizes the importance of going to professionals for electrolysis and laser treatment.
While this will not be everyone's experience it does highlight that finding an acceptable hair removal method which works for you may involve:
• Experimentation
• Time
• Discomfort
• Expense

A depilatory is a preparation in the form of a liquid or cream that is used to remove unwanted hair from the body. The word depilatory, pronounced "di-pila-toree", literally means "to deprive of hair" (Latin pilus, hair).
What is the difference between a depilatory and an epilatory?
A depilatory removes hair on the skin's surface.
How does a depilatory work?
Depilatories contain chemicals with a high degree of acidity (low pH) such as sodium thioglycolate, or calcium thioglycolate.
They react with the protein structure of hair breaking it down.
Depending on the coarseness of hair, within 5 to 15 minutes, the hair is dissolved into a gloopy mass which can then be washed away.
Hair that is dark and coarse appears to be more resistant to chemical depilatories than hair that is light and fine.
Why does skin feel so smooth after applying a depilatory?
A depilatory acts as an exfolient which means it removes dead skin cells on the surface of the skin.
These dead skin cells accumulate every day and they often feel rough. After removal the skin feels softer and smoother.
Many depilatories contain moisturizers such as Baby Oil, Almond Oil, Green Tea Extract and Aloe which contribute to softer smoother skin.
Which is best - a depilatory cream or liquid?
A depilatory lotion or liquid is designed for larger areas of the body such as the legs, underarms and bikini area.
A depilatory cream has a thicker consistency so it can be applied to specific areas without the risk of it running onto skin you don't want treated. A cream is therefore ideal for the face.
What are the pros and cons of depilatories?
PROS: Easy to apply, widely available over the counter, quick.

• A depilatory is best used after a warm bath or shower when the hair is softer and the pores of the skin are open.
• Never use a depilatory where there are wounds on the skin such as cuts or abrasions or on skin sensitive from sunburn.
• Apply the depilatory in a generous, smooth, thick layer. Do not rub it in.
• Always test a small area of skin first. A small patch on the inner arm below the elbow is a good place.
• Keep the application on the skin for the time recommended in the instructions and remove. Wait 24 hours. If there are no signs of irritation or allergic reaction such as redness or broken skin then proceed over a larger area.
• Follow the timing instructions very closely by setting a timer and removing the chemical immediately the timer signal goes off. Do not exceed the time recommended to avoid burning or damaging the skin.
• If the skin becomes itchy or irritated discontinue use of the depilatory and apply a soothing gel such as Aloe Vera or an anti-inflammatory skin cream.• To minimize irritation, try not to exfoliate (through scrubbing, or using a mask or cleansing agent) beforehand and be sure to follow up with a thorough rinsing and moisture-rich cream.
• After using a depilatory, apply sunscreen to areas that will be exposed to the sun.• To avoid damaging underlying layers of skin, some recommend not using a depilatory more than every 28 days. Generally, a new outer layer of skin is formed every 28 days.

Electrolysis: Fact SheetElectrolysis refers to the destruction of hair roots with an electric current. Three types of electrolysis are:
Galvanic Method: A DC current passing through the needle causes a chemical reaction in the hair follicle which produces sodium hydroxide, also know as lye, which destroys the hair follicle.
Thermolysis Method: An AC current passing through the needle causes vibration in the water molecules surrounding the hair follicle which produces heat. (Similar to the principle behind a microwave oven.) The heat damages the hair follicle.
This method is much faster but less reliable than galvanic electrolysis. Thermolysis is also known as 'short-wave radio frequency diathermy'.Blend Method: This method tries to combine the benefits of the galvanic and thermolysis methods by passing an AC and a DC current through the needle at the same time. It is much quicker than the galvanic method.
How does it work?Very fine metal probes are inserted into the hair follicle. A small electric current is then applied which destroys the hair root.
Each hair has to be treated individually.
How much does it cost?
Usually there is a rate per hour. Get an estimate of how many hours are required for your particular problem and then multiply it by the rate per hour.
A cheap hourly rate does not necessarily mean lower cost if the procedure takes longer than it should!
Quotations can vary from $25 to $100 per hour.
Is it painful?
This depends on the individual's level of sensitivity.
Some describe the discomfort as being similar to using tweezers.
Others complain of excessive pain during the treatment.
A qualified electrologist will be able to suggest methods for minimizing the discomfort.
This varies greatly from person to person. The following factors all have an effect:
• Size of the area to be treated
• Curvature of the hair follicle level of skin
• Sensitivity
• Hormonal balance
• Heredity
• Upper Lip: 4-10 hours
• Chin: 2-12 hours
• Sideburns: 4-8 hours
• Eyebrows: 3-8 hours
• Underarms: 4-12 hours
• Arms 5-10 hours
• Bikini Line: 8-16 hours
What is the effect on the skin?
If the procedure is performed by a fully qualified electrologist, the tissue surrounding the hair follicle should not be damaged.
It should therefore be safe when performed at a reputable clinic by trained personnel. Obvious precautions such as the electrologist wearing gloves and the use of disposable, presterilized needles also minimize the risk of infection.
Temporary side effects may include some redness and swelling, dryness and scabs. If the procedure is not carried out by professionals, there is the risk of permanent skin damage resulting in a scarring or pitting of the skin.
How long does it last?
Electrolysis is often viewed as a permanent hair removal method. Once the hair root is destroyed, the hair will not grow back.
There are exceptions however. In some cases hair does regrow in places and clients need to return once or twice a year for a cleanup.
Hair can continue to grow in the underarms, pubic area and around the nipples during a woman's reproductive years.
Where can you get it done?
Ask your local physician for a recommendation, or follow the recommendations of family and friends who have received the treatment.
(For U.S.A. residents, check the Directory of Electrologists listed below.)
As level of expertise and qualifications vary greatly in different countries and in some states in the U.S.A., it is extremely important to check the credentials of the electrologist beforehand.
Are do-it-yourself home kits effective?
Proceed with extreme caution. Some of these kits are fraudulent, they simply do not work. Others do not work very well.
As they are in the hands of home users who obviously have not had professional training, there is a real danger of scarring from overtreatment.
Undertreatment is another problem resulting in high regrowth of hair.

Kalo: The Effective Hair Inhibitor
Kalo made its debut in 1997 and has brought relief to thousands. Review the product information sheet here. It could be the answer your looking for! Make Sure You’re Online And Click Here For 1BodyCare.com
Hair growth inhibitors are clear odorless topical solutions made from a mixture of plant enzymes. They are completely natural and gentle on the skin.
How do they work?
By changing the structure of the hair follicle the hair gradually becomes finer and softer until it finally disappears.
The enzymes and other ingredients in hair inhibitors actually interrupt the body's normal process of producing new hair cells.
How do you use them?
The solution is best applied to the skin after using a hair removal method such as shaving or waxing.
When used after waxing or any method that removes the hair by the root, the results seem better than with other methods.
The solution is rubbed or sprayed onto the skin so it penetrates the pores and reaches the hair follicle.
Where can they be used?
They can be used all over the body including:
Back, shoulder, face, arms, chest, forearms, legs, upper lip, abdomen, bikini line, underarms. How soon can you expect results?
What about Vaniqa?
Vaniqa is a prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a topical prescription treatment for women with unwanted facial hair.
It takes about two months to work and is used in conjunction with other hair removal methods. Because Vaniqa is a prescription cream, a doctor or dermatologist's approval is required before it can be obtained. A consultation form can be submitted online when ordering through the internet. Do they really work?
They do not work 100% for everyone. That’s why there is a money back guarantee. Although a few find they result in permanent hair removal, the majority of
