The Best Treatment To Remove Unwanted Hairs

The desire to achieve 'baby-clear' skin starts almost as soon as we stop being babies

and grow into our teens - and what begins in early adolescence continues to be a lifelong quest. You're wrong if you thought that women are the only ones who are consumed by the desire for clear, hair-free skin. Many men too seem to be determined to sport hair only on the top of their heads!

With the emphasis on clear, hair-free skin growing by the day, various treatment options are being explored to remove unwanted hairs. While many of these treatment methods offer only temporary reprieve, some treatment options do yield lasting results.

It must be remembered that there is no particular treatment method that is *THE* best when it comes to removing unwanted hairs. Patients have to choose the best methods by consulting a dermatologist. Often, a combination of methods may be required to get rid of unwanted hair.

Shaving:

Shaving is one of the most ancient methods used to get rid of unwanted hair temporarily. However, shaving as a treatment for removing unwanted hair is less than desirable. Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not make the hair thicker or darker. But, it does allow the thicker part of the hair to grow out of the skin, making the skin rough and the hair appear darker.

Plucking:

This is another temporary method of hair removal. Plucking the hair does not alter its structure or rate of growth in any way. While some hairs grow back fast, others take more time to come back - but come back they will. However, over a long period of time, continuous plucking of hair could damage the hair follicle sufficiently to stop the production of hair.

Depilatories:

Certain chemicals are used to melt the hair away. Depilatories are applied for a few minutes and when they are swabbed away, hair too melts away. However, depilatories are harmful as the harsh chemicals used irritate the skin and kill skin cells.

Electrolysis:

A fine needle is inserted into individual hair follicles and the follicle is destroyed. This is one of the most effective methods of permanent hair removal. When the hair root is burnt, it no longer has the ability to produce more hair. Electrolysis is a procedure that requires high amounts of skill, precision and expertise. Therefore, it is important that patients undergo the treatment under the care and guidance of qualified, experienced dermatologists.

Laser hair removal:

Laser treatment for permanent hair removal is effective in most cases. It is found to be more effective in people who are light skinned and have dark hair. Like electrolysis, laser hair removal treats every hair follicle. Both electrolysis and laser hair removal procedures must be repeated a number of times to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Although various hair removal treatment options are available (and more are on the anvil with the passage of time), patients must choose their treatment carefully after consulting a qualified dermatologist.
