The best options for permanent hair removal

So if you are anything like the rest of us, you go through your daily beauty regimen which might look something like this. You wake up, cleanse your face, jump in the shower, depending on the day shave, moisturize, makeup, get dressed grab your coffee and off to work. If you are anything like me, then the shaving part is a real pain to consistently deal with. When considering the world of hair removal there are a ton of options, some more tedious, painful or permanent than others. In addition, there are DIY, at-home and professional in-office hair removal treatments available. So how do you determine what will be the best option for you with so many choices?

First decide if you want a permanent solution to the daily shave or something that requires maintenance. If you don't mind the maintenance and have a knack for DIY living there are a ton of fantastic DIY hair removal methods that are safe and effective. Hair removal methods for women date back to the ancient Egyptians. For years, women successfully removed their hair without the use of razors. If you are up for the challenge you can try body sugaring for hair removal.

If DIY beauty treatments are not your strong suit there are a host of other at-home hair removal options that can help rid you of your unwanted hair. Hair removal creams work by dissolving the hair just below the skin's surface. Since hair removal creams are not a permanent solution, you may find yourself using the creams more often than waxing, but unlike waxing, it is virtually painless. Hair removal creams are tried and true and a good at-home solution. I recommend a cream like Veet or Nair which you can purchase here or at your local drugstore.

Personally, I have hair in places that I refuse to shave, like my face, or hair that is painful to shave like my bikini area. So for me having a permanent solution is liberating! The only permanent solution is electrolysis. Electrolysis targets individual hair follicles with an electrical current that kills the hair where it grows. In Florida, electrolysis must be performed by a licensed professional. Although a time consuming process depending on the size of the area you are targeting, electrolysis can take months or years to complete, but once its gone, its gone for good. In Orlando, FL, VIP Salon & Medspa is an excellent choice as their licensed electrologists have over 15 years experience in hair removal techniques and are experienced in all hair and skin types.

At on time, because of my dark skin, electrolysis was the only option I had for permanent hair removal. But now, with all of the advances in aesthetic technology, there are lasers that can safely and effectively remove hair for all skin types and colors. As long as the hair is not white or blond there are lasers that can safely remove unwanted hair on all skin types! I had always been told that laser hair removal would only work if you have light skin and dark hair. It is important to make sure you have an experienced licensed laser hair removal specialist who knows what laser to use for your skin type. Because of the knowledge, expertise and variety of lasers at VIP Salon & Medspa they can determine what laser will be the most effective for you.
