 Comprehensive Article Summary by Jaxza Team
If you have unwanted hair and want to remove it permanently, there are a host of options to accomplish this task. But if you prefer to try permanent hair removal at home, your options become much more limited. It is understandable that many people might prefer to perform this task in the privacy of their own homes.
But be aware that this is a prime area for scams and fraudulent products. So, the term “Buyer Beware” should be taken very seriously when shopping for home-quality hair removal equipment.
The top home use permanent hair removal options include:
Home Electrolysis Units
This is a hair removal option that is widely advertised for in-home use. Electrolysis involves a super-thin metal probe being placed into the hair follicle, with a small electrical charge being directed at the hair follicle. This damages the hair follicle, resulting in permanent hair removal for that individual hair.
You can find home electrolysis units for about $ 50. The key is to choose a unit that actually involves inserting a probe into the hair follicle. Electrolysis hair removal products that eliminate this step are probably not worth the effort because results will only be temporary, at best.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, permanent hair removal at home with electrolysis can be a tricky endeavor. It is extremely time-consuming, removes only one hair at a time, and the unit will not be as effective as its commercial counterpart. And beware – a common issue with these units is that, due to your lack of experience in electrolysis, it is easy to inadvertently damage the skin.
Many of the experts on permanent hair removal at home recommend that electrolysis be left in the hands of a professional.
Oral Medications
The fact is that most medications will not produce permanent hair removal at home. The best result you can usually strive for is a permanent hair ‘reduction’ through inhibiting the growth of new hair. The majority of these medications work by reducing the amount of testosterone or androgen (the specific hormones that control hair growth) in the system.
You will need to visit a dermatologist to obtain these medications because they currently all require a prescription. Some of the more common ones include: Propecia, Aldactone, and Daine35.
Topical Ointments and Creams
A prescription medication called Vaniqa is one of the only topical hair removal medications recommended for long-term hair loss. This medication works by retarding new hair growth.
Unfortunately, it is only a hair growth inhibitor and must be combined with another hair control method such as shaving, plucking, etc. And once the product is discontinued, hair will resume growing at its normal rate. This product is only recommended for women for use on facial hair.
Be a Cautious Consumer
Because many people would prefer to find methods of permanent hair removal at home, the market is ripe for all sorts of scam artists. They will try to sell you expensive products that are either unproven or totally ineffective. So, before spending large amounts on a piece of hair removal equipment or ‘special’ lotion, check it out with your dermatologist.
Questions before undergoing Laser Hair Removal
Deciding to try laser hair removal treatments is only the first step in a successful permanent hair removal experience. You must select a laser clinic that has qualified laser specialists / doctors, the latest laser equipment, and a reasonable pricing structure. The best way to familiarize yourself with the different services being offered by these clinics is to visit their websites. A myriad of information can be gathered within a few minutes, and after a few visits to different sites, you should have a good “feel” for their typical practices.
Visit Your Laser Hair Removal Clinic
A critical step in this review process is to visit your selected clinic and be prepared to ask the right questions. The questions you will be asking are key in the selection of the right hair removal clinic for you. What will be even more important is to get answers to your questions from the person who will be performing the laser hair removal treatments. Asking the right questions can make the difference between a satisfying permanent hair removal experience and one that proves uncomfortable and disappointing.
Take a Checklist to Your Consultation
But what important questions should you ask at your consultation? To make your clinic visit less stressful and more productive, we provide a “Consultation Checklist” of key questions covering four different areas to take to your laser clinic consultation. By using the checklist, you are sure to touch on all of the important issues that are critical to a successful laser hair removal treatment.
