Affordable Hair Removal – Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal

Bikini Hair Removal has become very popular in the last decade or so as the whole area of personal grooming has exploded.

Men as well as women want to feel confident that they look their best even when wearing the skimpiest of clothing.

Bikini hair is defined as any growth between the tummy button and the knee but is generally considered to be the area around the groin. This is a sensitive area and removal should be approached carefully.

What are the options for bikini hair removal?

Shaving: A quick, instant method that is painless if you do not cut yourself. The drawbacks with shaving are: It is a little messy and can lead to ingrowing hairs.

Waxing: Probably one of the most painful ways of removing bikini hair and should be undertaken by a professional. Home waxing treatments are available but can lead to soreness and less than satisfactory results unless you can perfect the art of ripping off the wax quickly.

Hair Removal Creams: These work by actually dissolving the hair and do leave you with a very smooth result. Removal creams do contain very strong chemicals and it is essential that you only use ones that are specifically designed for the bikini area.

Bikini Trimmers: These electrical or battery operated machines incorporate a cutting blade which is protected by a guard thus ensuring you cannot cut yourself. The guard is normally adjustable but you are left with a stubble.

Bikini Shavers: As the name suggests these are just like a mans electrical razor, they are quick and convenient and can leave you bare to the skin. Bikini shavers have become very popular for these reasons.

Epilators: Looking similar to a shaver, epilators however work in a completely different way. A shaver cuts the hair but epilators work by actually gripping and pulling it out at the root. It sounds a lot more painful than it is and does have they advantage of actually reducing re growth over time.

Laser Hair Removal: Once upon a time this was purely a professional option but home Laser Hair Removal Devices are appearing in the stores. These work by sending a light impulse down the shaft of the hair and destroying the root. The technology behind these machines does however, mean they are not suitable for very light hair or dark skin.
