Hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic processes that are usually employed by women and sometimes men in the world today. For various cosmetic reasons, people choose to have hair in certain locations removed permanently. Traditionally, the method that has been followed throughout the centuries for removal of unwanted hair has been shaving. However, shaving has distinct disadvantages as can be seen by those who do it on a regular basis. Shaving tends to have many risks associated with it such as cuts and infections. Cuts can happen when the person who is shaving is not careful enough and has a slight lapse of concentration. Another thing that is very dangerous that can happen is that an infection can take hold if some pathogens get into the cut or if those pathogens were present on the cutting edge of the blade shaving.
Apart from this there are several other disadvantages of shaving such as abrasive skin and loss of skin smoothness. What happens is that whenever shaving is done, some amount of the skin is scraped off and this results in the regeneration of fresh skin that however, forms a tough layer to act as a protective coating. However, when the shaving is done this protective layer is sheared off and then an even tougher layer is generated. The progression of this practice results in the formation of progressively tougher layers that will result in the loss of skin smoothness.
In the end, it is better for all these reasons to have the hair permanently removed in order to stop the problem of repeated temporary hair removal. For this, this procedure can be performed by several means like lasers and electrocution. The prices of the procedure will depend greatly on the place where it is done and the specifics of the treatment.
