Hair Removal Options, Including Laser Hair Removal Salt Lake City

By Esme Spence


From shaving to laser hair removal Salt Lake City and everything in between, there are many types of hair removal techniques. It can sometimes be tricky to know what hair removal techniques will work best for your needs. Both genders experience this uncertainty. For both women and men, hair is found on various parts of the body and both genders have the same available techniques available to them. The most popular form of hair removal is shaving, but other forms of hair removal, such as laser hair removal Utah, are worthy of a little closer look.

There are many, many available hair removal methods for men and women. Because there are so many choices, it is good to know what options are currently available and the differences between them. To add to the confusion, there are even options within the basic options. A good place to start is identifying the available options and figuring out what you think will work best for your body hair. Then, experiment a little. Try different things until you find something that you are comfortable with that works for you! Regardless of your reasons, there are a few benefits and drawbacks to removing body hair.

No two people are alike; therefore, hair removal is different for every person as well. For instance, you may have friends that swear by shaving because it is quick and relatively inexpensive. Other friends may tell you that they despise shaving because hair regrowth occurs too quickly for their liking and results last only days at best. Other friends may tout the benefits of laser hair removal Salt Lake City as an effective solution for their hair removal needs; however, they may not recognize that everyone is not a good candidate for laser hair removal. For example, people with very fine hair or very dark skin may find that laser hair removal Utah just does not work for them, which would be time and money wasted. Still other friends might try to steer you towards electrology, since it is recognized by the FDA as the only permanent hair removal technique. And all of your friends would be right, albeit for their own personal needs.

Basically, hair removal falls into two categories: depilation and epilation. Both techniques remove hair from the body; however, both methods are very different in how they accomplish this task. Depilation removes the hair above the skin. Examples of depilation include: shaving, using trimmers, and chemical delipatories. Epliation, on the other hand, removes the entire hair follicle, which includes the hair below the skin. Examples of this method include: tweezing, waxing, sugaring, threading, and electric epilators. Additionally, two options that do not fall into either category are laser hair removal Salt Lake City and electrology. Laser hair removal would most closely resemble epilation because it removes the hair and follicle below the skin. But it goes about it in a vastly different way. Rather than being pulled out, light and pulsation are used to target the pigment in hair follicles to remove hair and follicle simultaneously. Electrology is a completely different beast altogether, as it destroys the germ cells in the hair follicle responsible for growth, making hair unable to grow back.

A desirable benefit of hair removal, which includes laser hair removal Salt Lake City, is smooth, hair free skin. Less often recognized, there are additional benefits to hair removal, including: religious function, medical necessity, for sports, and social reasons (such as the military). Unfortunately, drawbacks do exist too. Hair removal can cause skin inflammation, minor burns, lesions, scarring, ingrown hairs, bumps and infected hair follicles. Additionally, most hair removal methods (with the exception of electrology) are not a permanent solution. Clinically research on some hair removal methods is not complete either.

With options ranging from shaving to laser hair removal Salt Lake City (laser hair removal Utah) to electrology, there is certainly something for all when it comes to hair removal.
