Fuzzy legs and hairy armpits are natural options, but that might not be your choice for summer beach time. If you want to wear a swimsuit, then don’t forget about your bikini area. There are a variety of options available for hair removal this summer. This article will take a look at popular hair removal options to help you choose the one that is right for you.
#1 Waxing
Waxing is the “old standby” of hair removal. While it isn’t the most current hair removal option available, it may still meet the needs of some of you looking for a quick hair removal solution. It gives fast, smooth, immediate results. Does it feel good? No. Waxing involves spreading heated wax over the area, allowing it to harden, then quickly peeling it off. Yes, you are using heated wax to rip your hair out – not a walk in the park. But if you are in need of smooth legs or underarms in a hurry, this method may be a good option for you.
#2 Sugaring
Sugaring is a newer hair removal solution than waxing. Sugaring uses a paste made of sugar, lemon juice, and water, providing a natural alternative to waxing. It is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of the growth, which is the opposite of waxing. This method is said to be less painful than waxing, although not pain-free. Both methods give you smooth skin for about the same length of time, approximately one month or a bit longer.
#3 Laser Hair Removal
If you are interested in a long-term solution for hair removal, then laser treatments may be the best option for you. At Fountain of You, we use the Splendor X by Lumenis for laser hair removal. It uses two wavelengths, so it can safely treat all skin types. The laser is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, preventing the bulb from future growth. While it will take multiple treatments due to hair growth cycles, the results are long-lasting and often permanent. You will see immediate results, as well. The Splendor X reduces treatment time by up to 75%. Your legs can receive a laser treatment in only 15-20 minutes!
Summary
If you’re ready for smooth, beach-ready skin, then you have a few options available to you. You can try waxing for immediate results, but it is uncomfortable and only lasts about a month. Sugaring is a more natural approach and is less painful, but it has about the same results, lasting approximately one month. Laser hair removal takes multiple treatments to complete, but it does provide immediate results. It is not considered to be a painful procedure. It is long-lasting and sometimes permanent.
