Even in the time of Cleopatra, women struggled with extra hairs on the body: they made shugaring - they removed hair with a mixture of sugar and lemon juice. And always the presence of excess hair growth in women was considered a mauveton. And now men also pay more attention to their appearance.

First of all I want to make a certain classification of methods of removing "extra" hair. This - depilation and hair removal. Depilation should be understood as the temporary removal of hair above the skin: shaving, the use of depilatory creams, hair removal with electric depilation and wax depilation, or, as it is also called, biodepilation. Among the above methods, the latter is considered the most effective, since the effect of smooth and shiny skin is the longest - from two to four weeks, and again growing hairs are not as stiff as after shaving.

Under epilation we mean complete or temporary hair removal together with a hair follicle or hair follicle. To modern methods of epilation belong electroepilation, photoepilation and laser hair removal.

The latter is considered the most effective in combating unwanted hair. Unlike other methods, it is possible to achieve approximately 70-85% excess hair removal with a laser, and those 30% that grow will simply turn into a light soft fluff that will not cause discomfort.

The essence of this method is to use the energy of light, which, getting on the skin, heats up and destroys cells containing melanin.

Thus, the laser beam penetrates into the hair follicle and quickly destroys it.

A special system instantly cools the skin, so there is not even the slightest discomfort during the procedure. The only drawback of this method is that the laser does not react to cells lacking pigment, therefore, can not affect light and gray hair. Also, possible complications include the occurrence of burns if the procedure was performed incorrectly. To prevent this from happening, one should carefully approach both the choice of the method of epilation and the choice of a specialist, taking into account his experience.
