It is that time of year when we all start winding down and get ready for the December holidays. Holidays invariably mean time spent at the beach – are you sure you are body ready for the beach? If you feel that your body could do with some extra tender loving care before you decide to don a costume, then consider treating yourself to slimming wraps and hair removal treatments. You still have enough time to get your body looking good!

What hair removal treatments can be used?

There are three main hair removal treatments that are used by most beauty clinics – waxing, threading and pain free hair laser removal.

Threading is commonly used for hair removal on the face. Threading makes use of thin cotton or polyester thread which is doubled and twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking hair at the follicle level. Threading can remove short lines of hair.

Waxing is a form of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks (although this differs from person to person). Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, pubic area (called bikini waxing), legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet. This can be done through strip waxing (soft wax) which is a method of waxing using a cloth or paper strip over the wax or through strip less wax (hard wax) which is basically applying a thicker coat of wax and not using a cloth or paper strip to remove it – this is best for people with sensitive skin.

Pain free laser hair removal can remove unwanted hair, be it from a condition that causes excess hair growth or just the desire for a new look. Most individuals will require a series of treatments over time which will result in the removal of the unwanted hair. Most of the lasers and light sources are FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction, which means reduction over time. Some individuals will see very long term hair removal which may last for many years. Others may require maintenance treatments over time to maintain their degree of hair loss.
