All methods of removing hair from the skin are divided into 2 large groups - this is epilation and depilation. All variants of the latter provide only an "external" result when the hair is cut off: a similar result is given by various chemical creams and a razor. If we talk about different types of hair removal, then “forever” is about them. Or, at least, “for a long time”, since during the course of this procedure, the follicle is affected, which in some cases allows not only to seriously delay the date of the next epilation, but also to prevent hair growth. To find out how realistic this is, we suggest considering all existing technologies for such hair removal.
QUICK ARTICLE NAVIGATION
Bioepilation: wax and sugaring
This technique is rooted in antiquity, since the “progenitor” of the current bioepilation appeared back in the time of Cleopatra, when, in order to achieve smooth skin without a single hair, women made a sticky mixture that uprooted unwanted vegetation. Of course, this mass had nothing to do with wax (in terms of its components), and even with shugaring it could only be in a very distant and vague relationship, but the principle itself formed the basis of precisely these technologies, which were called "bioepilation".
- The essence of such hair removal is as follows: after the skin is steamed and cleaned with a fine-grained scrub, it is treated with an antiseptic, thereby not only disinfecting, but also degreasing, and then a prepared warm composition is applied. When it cools down, it is removed with a sharp movement, using either a special paper tape for this, or prying the sticky strip itself over the edge.
- The main disadvantages of this technique are that it is accompanied by severe discomfort, and for some even painful. In addition, owners of sensitive skin often complain about the appearance of abrasions and bruises that form during the removal of a frozen product.
- At the same time, bioepilation is valued for its versatility: the procedure can be performed on any part of the body, including the face, and also at any time of the year, while salon hair removal techniques are undesirable in spring and summer, as they can provoke an increase in uneven pigmentation.
Will it be possible to get rid of hair forever with the help of wax or sugaring? No. 4-5 weeks is the maximum interval between procedures, since there is no effect on the root. At the same time, the result is much more serious and long term than when shaving with a machine or when using depilatory creams, and the procedure itself is considered very budgetary, as a result of which it is very popular with women.
It should be noted that waxing can involve the use of a cold, warm or hot mixture. The latter is prohibited for persons with sensitive, thin skin, as well as those with a tendency to bleeding, problems with blood vessels and their proximity (especially on the legs). It is also unacceptable to work with a bikini line with hot wax.
Warm and cold in this case are safer and more convenient, but even with them care must be taken and not applied to damaged skin.
As for shugaring, which not so long ago women began to practice even at home, using different sugar paste recipes, instead of the original one, which you can buy in the store, it has the same contraindications as hot wax. Since this mixture cannot be applied cold, it becomes very hard and almost does not stick to the skin.
This technology is also classified as bioepilation, but it should be considered separately, since it differs significantly from wax and sugaring, although it also involves the effect of a chemical composition on the skin. But at the same time, here they strike a “blow” and by follicles, and in the procedure at one of the stages there is a place to be wax. So what is this technique?
Before the session, a skin test is taken, which allows you to determine whether it is permissible to use this technology on a particular person. Then, with a positive answer, a special composition is applied to the fat-free surface, covered with a film and rubber bandages. After that, infrared radiation is heated, the bandage is removed, the enzymatic composition is removed, the hairs are removed with wax and the skin is moisturized.
Is it possible to forget about it and any other types of hair removal after such a procedure? Alas, despite the fact that it is very effective, it is required to pass at least 5 sessions(between them - no more than 28-30 days) to get smooth skin for 3-4 months, after which you will have to repeat the visit to the beautician. But here the probability of getting ingrown hairs is minimized, although the skin itself requires more attention than after wax or sugar paste.
This procedure is forbidden to be carried out on the face, since it can lead to burns, and, in addition, it is not performed when infectious diseases(including colds) and inflammatory processes, hypertension, at any stage of pregnancy, with oncology and work disorders of cardio-vascular system and hematopoietic functions. It cannot be done at home.
In a way, this is the unsafe a kind of hair removal due to such an extensive list of restrictions, but it is also the most painless and does not provoke allergic reactions, it works well even in areas with increased stiffness and density of hair.
Hardware cosmetology in the fight for skin smoothness
Of course, if a woman wants to get rid of body hair forever and have maximum confidence in the result, she goes to the salon, where the masters most often offer to immediately resort to hardware technologies, assuring that today such hair removal is the most effective, since there is already a whole blow directed not at the outer part of the hair, but on the bulb. Is it true? And which of the hardware methods has minimal risks?
Laser
The principle of its work is to heat cells with melanin, which leads to the destruction of the follicle, and the skin itself is not damaged, but retains heat for some time. The effect is only on the hair in active growth phase, i.e. when its length is at least 3 mm. The beam does not leave damage, the procedure does not last long.
Such a procedure has many disadvantages, the main of which is the impossibility of its implementation in girls with low contrast: the Nordic type with blond hair and skin, or African-American women with dark ones. The reason lies in the fact that the beam affects any areas with an excess of melanin, so it can also harm the skin.
It should be borne in mind that there is no effect on the “sleeping” bulbs, therefore, to remove absolutely everyone, you have to go through several procedures. But you can forget about "extra" hair forever, although more often this period is still limited to 5-6 years.
It can be considered a subspecies of the previous one, since they are similar in principle of action. But unlike laser, it does not set restrictions on the combination of skin and hair tones, with the exception of the lack of results on gray or very light (lack of melanin). The duration of the procedure is even shorter (maximum time - 20 minutes), discomfort is possible only for people with sensitive skin, burns and scars do not remain.
But, as with a conventional laser, complete hair removal requires multiple sessions, while it is impossible to say for sure whether it will be possible to get rid of them forever. However, the minimum interval between procedures is 5-6 months: only after that new hairs can begin to break through.
After the session, it is forbidden to use care products containing alcohol, since the skin is in an overdried state and may even peel off.
Electrolysis
The budget version of the hardware technique, quite old, but still relevant, despite the development of cosmetology. Discharges of current that are aimed directly at the hair shaft with the help of high temperature destroy the bulb, which allows you to get rid of "excess vegetation". The length of the hair must be not less than 4 mm, but the thickness and color do not play a role.
By analogy with previous methods, such hair removal is also carried out in several stages, and there are many options for its implementation, differing in both the type of needles and the type of current, which allows you to choose the best method for a particular person.
Electrolysis is prohibited for infectious diseases, inflammation, tumors, epilepsy, varicose veins, pregnancy, problems with the heart and blood vessels, as well as disorders of the endocrine system.
At the same time, the technology is painful, it has many features in skin care after the procedure, but the result is really impressive: the destroyed bulbs are not restored, so it can be argued that they are destroyed forever.
I would also like to mention relatively new and expensive techniques - ELOS,Cool, AFT, which are recognized as extremely safe, effective and efficient, but have a huge number of contraindications. All of them also involve the operation of a laser, but with certain features and limitations.
We have considered the main types of hardware hair removal methods, and now it is worth deciding which of the methods is the safest and gives a really lasting result or allows you to get rid of hair forever? Professionals assure that it is impossible to give an exact answer without seeing a person. In order to say which hair removal is right for you and will work best with your hair, you need to consult a qualified specialist.
Modern to varying degrees allow you to deal with unwanted body hair. What hair removal is the most effective? Often the choice of method depends on many conditions (temporary or complete hair removal, skin type, body area, pain threshold).
Epilation methods are divided into 2 groups:
- the hair follicle is completely destroyed;
- hair is removed only temporarily.
The first method refers to hardware cosmetology. The hair follicle is destroyed by the energy. These are the following methods of epilation:
- Laser.
- Photo and electrolysis.
- Elos, Qool, AFT varieties.
The second method includes the following types:
- Shaving.
- Plucking.
- Chemical depilation.
- Bioepilation - shugaring (sugar method), wax method.
Comparative characteristics of hair removal methods
The optimal type of hair removal for most people who want to get rid of unwanted vegetation is selected taking into account the pain of the procedure. The less discomfort, pain and discomfort in a given area of the body, the better. In this case, it is worth considering not only the features of the procedure, but also the area of the skin on which the treatment is being carried out. The area of the arms and legs in terms of pain is significantly different from the bikini area and armpits. The latter, of course, are more sensitive.
Painful methods - wax, shugaring, Elos, electrolysis. Wax (hot, cold, warm) removes hair well and quickly. With each session, the amount of hair is noticeably reduced. But the procedure has a short effect. Shugaring attracts with its low cost and even the possibility of doing it yourself at home with certain skills and the necessary ingredients. There is no lasting effect. Affordable electrolysis is suitable for everyone, regardless of skin type and hair structure. But sometimes it requires local anesthesia. Elos combines light, laser and electrical procedures. A little painful, but safe, not damaging the skin way. Can be quite expensive and require a full course to get rid of hair permanently.
Absolutely painless methods include ultrasonic or laser hair removal (Qool, AFT). Laser radiation is effective, the result lasts for several years. But there are numerous contraindications, as well as in ultrasonic varieties of hair removal. This method is quite safe, selectively affects the hairs, does not affect the skin. This procedure is costly.
Photoepilation is the most effective epilation. Results are noticeable immediately after the first session. The procedure eliminates hair for several years, but causes discomfort. The high cost and a number of contraindications somewhat reduce its popularity.
Chemical methods in the form of an epilator cream can be used at home, but the problem of excess hair will be solved only for a few days. Allergic reactions are possible. Applying the cream is a fairly quick and easy process.
Shaving and plucking are the simplest and most economical methods that have a short effect and often lead to skin irritation and ingrown hairs. But you can do hair removal at home without resorting to the services of professionals.
Choice of epilation method
Which method to use should be decided in advance, taking into account personal characteristics. You may need the help of a specialist to determine the state of health, skin and hair type. Based on these data, the most effective one is selected from the body. It is recommended to determine the contraindications that may appear when choosing one or another method. Particular attention should be paid to cases where there are metal prostheses or electronic devices in the body.
Some types of hair removal do not accept this. Allergy is also taken into account when choosing the type of procedure. Some cosmetic preparations can cause severe allergic reactions.
Which epilation is better to give preference?
The effectiveness of any of the epilation methods is expressed in the duration of the result itself, that is, the duration of the absence of hair.
Hardware procedures are carried out in courses in several sessions. It is very important to observe the regimen and intervals between sessions. It is necessary to follow all the recommendations of the cosmetologist and take care of the skin as recommended by the specialist.
Sometimes even a full course can make you wait a bit for a sustainable result, since hair follicles grow even after the most powerful removal course. Some methods have a gradual effect. Hair begins to grow more slowly, change structure, become thinner. Only with regular exposure completely disappear. Therefore, any hair removal requires perseverance and patience.
Smooth legs are the dream of every woman. However, in order for the legs to always look perfect, it is necessary to constantly use epilators, razors, or other means to remove annoying hairs. Any of the methods of hair removal gives a woman discomfort and takes precious time. But modern cosmetology allows you to remove unwanted vegetation forever and guarantee a woman impeccable smoothness of her legs for several years.
Today there are several ways to hair removal forever , or at least for the long term. Each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages, let's consider each of them in more detail.
1. Epilation elos (elos)
Elos hair removal - one of the most effective methods permanent hair removal. The procedure is practically painless and safe for the body. With the help of elos epilation, many women have significantly reduced hair growth or got rid of them forever. The results of this epilation method depend on individual characteristics organism - hormonal background, genetic predisposition, hairline structure.
When epilating elos, a double action is performed on the hair follicle - using the energy of a high-frequency light pulse and current. In fact, Elos is a combination of laser and electrolysis. Therefore, the results are more stable than other types of hair removal.
The elos epilation procedure is quite comfortable. You are in a comfortable chair, in dark light-protective glasses, the doctor applies a cooling gel to the skin and treats the surface of the skin with flashes of light. You can feel only a slight tingling sensation, which will quickly pass.
After epilation, the skin becomes smooth and tender, the result remains for a long time.
In order to get rid of hairs forever, it is necessary to undergo a course of elos epilation from 5 to 10 procedures with an interval between them of 6-8 weeks.
2. Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal allows you to painlessly remove unwanted hairs forever. With the help of a laser, hairs can be removed on any part of the face and body. The hair pigment melanin absorbs laser light, resulting in selective instantaneous heating of the entire hair, followed by destruction of the hair follicle. As a result, hair growth stops.
The laser hair removal procedure is virtually painless. It does not injure the skin, so it can be used on any part of the body. Laser hair removal can remove up to 90 percent of hairs. In order to get rid of unwanted hair forever, it is enough to take a course of 6-8 procedures with an interval of 2 months. The only disadvantage of laser hair removal is the high cost.

3. AFT hair removal
AFT - hair removal (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) is an advanced fluorescent hair removal technology.
This is the most modern and effective method of hair removal today. It allows you to permanently get rid of unwanted hairs in any part of the body in just a few sessions. In addition, this is the most painless type of hair removal.
AFT-epilation - combines laser and photoepilation. The combination of these methods gives the most permanent results, as dark and coarse hair on light skin is easier to remove with a laser beam, and lighter and finer hair with light energy. In the process of epilation, the hair becomes thinner, their structure and density change, the hair follicle is destroyed.
4. Photoepilation
A significant advantage of photoepilation is its low cost. With photoepilation, hairs are removed according to the same principle as with laser hair removal, the difference is only in the physical properties of the light beam. The surface of the skin is treated with short flashes of light. Compared to a laser, photoepilation is much slower.
The procedure is painless, the skin is not injured, only a slight burning sensation can be felt during outbreaks.
After a few sessions, the remaining hair becomes thin and invisible. To get rid of hair forever will require 5 to 10 procedures with an interval of 2 months.
There are no contraindications for photoepilation, except for general ones - colds, herpes, inflammatory processes, pregnancy. The method of photoepilation is especially often used for the bikini area.
5. Electrolysis
Electrolysis - a very reliable and effective way to permanently remove hair. The process of hair removal occurs with the help of an electric discharge. Special needles contain the thinnest electrode, which is injected into the hair follicle. This is followed by a discharge of electric current - and the hair is destroyed along with the root. After a few weeks, the hair grows from nearby follicles, so the electrolysis procedure must be repeated several times to get rid of the hairs forever.
Electrolysis is the most painful type of hair removal, injures the skin, can cause complications in the form of scars and inflammation. This method is not suitable for epilation of a large area of skin.
6. Thermolysis
Thermolysis It is a type of electrolysis. Hair follicles are destroyed forever due to the short-term heating that is obtained when exposed to alternating current. Current is applied to each hair through a thin needle. The movement of cells in the follicles is accelerated, as a result, heat is released, which destroys the hair follicle.
Epilation by thermolysis is painful, causes small burns on the skin. In addition, this is a rather expensive undertaking.

Thick, shiny and healthy hair on the head is the dream of any girl and a reason for pride. Only not if all this is firmly fixed on your body. There are many ways to deal with unwanted hair growth: from salon and expensive to budget, folk, made at home.
Causes of unwanted hair and doctor's indications for their removal
There are several places on the human body where hair does not grow. These are palms, feet and lips. On all other areas of the body, hair is considered our "gift from the ancestors." But if excessive vegetation, as a rule, does not cause inconvenience to men, then for women this is a real problem.
Some hormones in men are stimulants for hair growth on the body and face and at the same time retarders of their growth on the head. Female hormones work in the opposite direction. In the fair sex, the ovarian appendages and adrenal glands produce female hormone estrogen. He is responsible for femininity - the emotional state, figure, condition of the skin and hair. If a woman's body has a low level of this hormone, then she may experience excessive development of vegetation on the face, arms, legs and other parts of the body, as well as early skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles.
The female body produces the ovaries and adrenal glands and the male hormone - testosterone. Its excess in the female body leads to hair loss on the head and excessive hair growth in other parts of the body.
The thyroid gland produces another hormone responsible for the condition of the hair - somatropin (growth hormone). Its excess leads to excessive hair growth. Endocrine diseases, stress, puberty, pregnancy, menopause, etc. can provoke hormonal disruptions. The presence of unwanted facial hair is a fairly common problem among women
The degree of intensity of hair growth may depend on genetics, nationality, locality and climate of the ancestors. For example, in women of Caucasian nationality, unlike Slavs, the hair is darker, thicker and covers the body over a larger area.
However, it is possible to fight unwanted vegetation, but it is worth remembering that the opinions of doctors on this matter are ambiguous. Employees of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Great Britain spoke about the dangers of getting rid of hair. In their opinion, both epilation and depilation are harmful to the body. But the second they consider more dangerous.
When you use a razor (depilation), you cause irritation of the skin. Which, in combination with a warm, humid environment in the genital area, becomes an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens.
Dr. Vanessa McKay, Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Body hair has a protective function, for example, pubic hair prevents bacteria from entering the vagina. In addition, hair removal leads to open microscopic wounds. A strong argument in favor of the arguments of scientists from the King's College is the fact that hair helps to regulate moisture on the genitals.
And yet, most medical professionals consider getting rid of hair as one of the components of hygiene, if excessive hair is not caused by diseases. In this case, it is simply necessary to deal with hair.
permanent hair removal methods
There are two ways to remove hair: depilation and epilation. The first will not get rid of the hair forever, as it only removes the upper part of the hair and does not touch the follicle. This is shaving, sugaring, waxing, the use of special creams, etc. The second method slows down hair growth and destroys their roots. It should be entrusted to a professional. Epilation is divided into laser hair removal, electro-, elos- and photoepilation. Let's examine these methods in more detail:
In order not to disturb pigmentation, a contrast between skin tone and hair color is necessary.

Safety Precautions When Removing Unwanted Hair
Even before you start epilation, you need to find out if you have any contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation,
- allergic reactions,
- diabetes,
- oncology,
- flu,
- SARS,
- herpes.
And you should also postpone the trip to hair removal during menstruation, since the pain during this period is exacerbated.
In addition, laser hair removal, in addition to the general ones, has its own contraindications:
- skin diseases;
- moles;
- other violations of the integrity of the skin.
- The skin should be free from creams, sweat and surface dirt. The master must carry out all work in gloves. No matter how he argues against using them, he should protect you from infection.
- If hair removal is carried out at home on your own, then you must use special goggles and follow the instructions. In this case, it is forbidden to direct the beam to moles and hairs growing from them. They just need to be cut off. Removing hair from moles is fraught with the degeneration of such neoplasms into malignant ones.
- To reduce pain, the use of special painkillers is acceptable.
- After epilation, you can use anti-ingrown hair products and a soothing cream.
- A few days before and after the procedure, you can not sunbathe, visit the bathhouse and pool.
Smooth, hairless skin is one of the unconditional criteria of modern ideas about the beauty of the body. Cosmetology provides women and men with a rich arsenal of methods to combat "extra" vegetation, as required by fashion. Their types of hair removal are selected based on the individual characteristics of a person: skin type and hair color, skin reaction to chemical and mechanical influences, sensitivity to pain are taken into account.
Types of epilation and differences from depilation
What types of hair removal are there and what type of hair removal is the most effective - these questions concern those who first decided to change their razor to salon procedure. We will try to answer them.
Waxing (waxing)
Wax can be used on any part of the body without restrictions. It is used to remove hair on the legs, bikini area, armpits, back, abdomen. Types of hair removal on the face upper lip, under the eyebrows, on the cheeks are also carried out using wax. Cold wax in the form of paper strips is good and handy for emergencies.
Liquid hot or warm wax is applied to the body with a roller or a special spatula, after hardening it is removed. The hairs are removed from the root along with the wax layer, so new ones appear on the surface in about a month. The use of hair growth retardants during the procedure increases the duration of the cosmetic effect by about a week. Natural components of wax compositions - hemp oil, pine wax, lavender, oil tea tree- protect the skin from irritation and soothe it.
For a successful vaccination:
- - make sure that the length of the hairs is at least 5 mm;
- - apply wax to cleansed, dried and talcum-treated skin;
- - to reduce pain, treat the depilated area with a cooling spray or gel;
- - after the session, do not sunbathe, do not swim or go to the sauna for several days, do not use deodorant and do not wear synthetic tight underwear, so as not to cause skin irritation;
- – with a tendency to allergies, wax only in the salon.
Sugaring
Sugaring or caramel hair removal is carried out by applying a thick sugar paste to the treated area. You can make your own sugar mixture or use ready-made pasta.
The paste is kneaded in the hands to the state of soft putty, applied to the skin stretched and treated with powder or talc in the opposite direction to hair growth, then torn off with a sharp movement in the direction of hair growth. After shugaring, you should not take a bath and go to the gym, so as not to cause skin irritation. After a couple of days, it is recommended to treat the skin with a scrub to prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs.
It must be remembered that sugaring and waxing are not used for skin diseases, the presence of neoplasms, moles and warts, inflammatory processes, varicose veins, and a tendency to allergies.
Electrolysis
Vegetation from the body has been removed by electric current for many decades. Weak discharges are sent to the area of the hair follicle to destroy it. The current passes through a needle up to 0.1 mm thick, inserted under the skin at the base of the hair. Current discharges destroy hair that is in the active stage of growth. It will not be possible to achieve complete destruction of vegetation on the hairy area at a time, you will have to spend several sessions.
The advantage of electrolysis is that it successfully copes with blond and gray hair, the removal of which is difficult by other hardware methods. In modern cosmetology are used:
- thermolysis - the destruction of the hair follicle by high-frequency alternating current. Under the influence of current, the follicle is very hot and “melts”. This is a rather painful method, but it allows you to destroy hair on a large surface of the skin at a time. If it turns out that there are hairs with curved follicles on the treated area, then thermolysis will not cope with them. The operation can leave atrophic scars on sensitive areas, so before stopping at thermolysis, you should consult a cosmetologist;
- electrolysis, which successfully destroys twisted follicles by starting, under the influence of direct current, the electrochemical process of formation and instantaneous decomposition of acid with the formation of alkali. The current enters under the skin through a needle inserted along the hair shaft. Damaged hairs are removed with tweezers. Electrolysis is less painful compared to thermolysis, but its sessions are longer;
- a kind of thermolysis, types of hair removal that have appeared in the arsenal of cosmetologists in recent decades - a flash method (flash (English) - flash). The hairline is destroyed by exposure to alternating current, its strength is greater than during thermolysis, and the exposure time is shorter, hence the name of the method. The success of the operation is very dependent on the qualifications of the master, the more accurately the needle is inserted, the less likely it is to cause a scar or burn. It is better to use it for epilation of arms and legs, and to remove hair from the face and in the bikini area in other ways.
is a blend method that combines thermolysis with the possibilities of electrolysis. The follicle is first heated as in thermolysis, and then destroyed during a chemical reaction. Alkali acts faster due to high temperature. Modern blend devices allow you to choose an individual program for the patient.
It is recommended to conduct sessions of electrolysis in courses with an interval of 4 to 6 weeks. For a complete cleansing of one area, an average of 5-10 sessions is required. The exposure time ranges from a quarter of an hour to an hour. An individual program of electrolysis in salons is selected by a qualified specialist.
The destruction of hair follicles occurs under the influence of directed flashes of a laser beam penetrating the skin. After the session, the damaged hair remains on the surface and falls out on its own after about two weeks. The laser copes with hairs ranging in size from 3 to 5 mm.
For the complete removal of vegetation on the body, repeated repetition of the procedure is required. Laser beams are not harmless to the skin, so the operation is painless and does not threaten with complications. It is used mainly in small areas, in particular on the face. However, a distinctive feature of laser hair removal is its use only when removing melanin-colored hair. In other words, the action of the laser will be useless for white-skinned fair-haired people or dark-skinned people with dark hair.
Photoepilation
The principle of operation of photoepilation is similar to the effect of a laser, only hair removal occurs with short-term light flashes of strong power.
The rays of light emanating from a special apparatus equipped with filters are absorbed by the hair pigment melanin, while a large amount of thermal energy is released, heating the follicles to a high temperature and thereby destroying them. The treated areas are cleared of vegetation within ten to twelve days, no need to try to speed up this process.
The advantages of photoepilation include its painlessness and visible results after the first session. However, like other types, it acts only on actively growing hair. So for a complete cleansing of the body area, you will have to return to the salon several times.
When completing a full course, you can forget about excess vegetation on the body for at least 5 months. This method is suitable, as well as laser hair removal only for people with dark hair. Redheads, gray hairs and blonde hair cannot be removed by photoepilation.
It is difficult to say which types of hair removal are the most effective, since the success of a particular method depends on the individual condition of the person and on the qualifications of the specialist conducting the procedure. All hardware methods for removing hair from the body have contraindications, so a cosmetologist will help you choose the most suitable option.
