Hair removal - even permanent hair removal - isn’t a purely American trait. Throughout the ages, men and women from many cultures have been taking hair off their body to look better. Most commonly, they shave the hair off. Though it is the least time consuming of all other hair removal methods, it damages the skin since it entails placing sharp surfaces on soft, delicate skin.

Chemical depilatories are also very often used but these products usually contain strong chemicals. It is often witnessed that hair growth is far thicker than it originally was after using such liquids and creams. Salons commonly use waxing to remove unwanted hair. Waxing requires hot wax to be poured on the skin and then removed along with hair when it dries. Home waxing kits are also available at retail stores. While none of these techniques are perfect, they do serve their purpose quite well. People throughout the world use them. There is a disadvantage all these methods have in common. No matter how well you do it, the hair keeps coming back.

Electrolysis is considered a permanent hair removal treatment and may be the perfect solution for those looking for long term hair removal. While there are plenty who claim laser treatment as a permanent hair removal solution, the FDA and AMA disagree and only categorise electrolysis as a method of permanent hair removal. Having been around for a surprisingly long time, electrolysis was originally thought of as a permanent hair removal solution for in grown eyelash hair. It can be used on any part of the body, like the face, breasts, stomach thighs and legs, unlike some other less permanent hair removal solutions which are too harsh. It’s important to note that there are no long term side effects of using this permanent hair removal solution. A slight reddening of the skin is noticed right after the treatment but this fades away in a matter of time. This permanent hair removal method also does not involve any chemicals.
