Pubic Hair Removal on Men & Women

If you worry about hair growth conditions like hypertrichosis or hirsutism, or you just have normal hair growth in sites where it should not, there are many very effective hair removal options that meet your needs. There are basically two types of hair removal processes.

'Permament' treatments look to remove unwanted hair in such a way that it never returns. Sometimes these techniques can be semi-permanent and have to be repeated every so often. Temporary hair removal procedures provide results for for a short period of time and are contingent on the body's metabolic rate and resulting hair growth rate.

Dealing With Unwanted Hair

 Many females deal with hair removal as part of their normal cosmetic routine. Ladies shave their legs and underarms, form their eyebrows, and have pubic hair trimmed or removed to take advantage of today's fashion styles. Men on occasion also shave some areas for cosmetic reasons, and just about all males shave their facial hair unless they are deliberately growing a full beard, goatee, or moustache. And do not forget that there are medical reasons for removing hair and the not uncommon 'cuz I felt like it' reasons too.

Electrolysis Method

Electrolysis is a standard treatment that treats each hair follicle individually by inserting a needle into the follicle of the hair and subjecting it to an electric charge. This procedure can require multiple appointments depending upon the condition and size of the area being treated. This process can be very uncomfortable, and side effects can include the possibility of scaring and infection. Costs can run as high as $1,000 to $3,000 for the legs or pubic area.

Try Laser Hair Removal

Laser removal of unwanted hair is an FDA approved treatment which should only be performed by a certified and licensed professional. When you are undergoing this procedure, a small laser beam is employed to get rid of the hair follicles. The treatment is a relatively painless procedure that is most effective on persons who have a light complexion and dark hair. People with a deep tan should not consider this procedure. Expenses are about $1,000 for the removal of facial hair, and anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 for removal of unwanted hair from the legs and pubic area.

Similar to LASER treatment, this FDA approved Pulsed Laser treatment uses a pulsed light beam to eliminate the follicles of the hair. This process is extremely effective for getting rid of hair from the very sensitive underarm area and the bikini area. This advanced procedure eliminates any restrictions regarding skin tone, tanning, or color of hair. Costs range from $500 to $2,000 and up, based upon the area of the body treated.

Temporary Hair Removal Alternatives

Temporary removal of unwanted hair techniques include a multitude of hair removal creams, shaving, pulling, waxing, and more exotic treatments. What a unique contradiction. While millions of balding and hair thinning people are investing billions of dollars to grow new hair, make it shiny and healthy, or have it cut just perfect, the rest of us are laying out our money seeking to get rid of it!
