Getting rid of hair on the body is a rather laborious procedure and, moreover, a little painful. Therefore, epilation of intimate places always requires careful selection of effective, but safe techniques, so as not to damage the sensitive skin of these areas.
Methods and means for epilation of intimate places
All options for eliminating unwanted hair in these zones can be conditionally classified as follows:
- mechanical removal;
- chemical effects;
- hardware epilation.
The first type of procedure involves shaving the machine, using wax, caramel paste ( shugaring ) and epilator.
The chemical method involves the periodic application of depilation cream, which dissolves the outer part of the hairs.
Hardware methods are considered the most effective, because they provide a long lasting result and allow you to get rid of excess hair forever.
Each of these means has its own characteristics, advantages and negative sides, which should be taken into account when choosing a procedure.
Deep epilation of intimate places by mechanical means
The most painless is shaving. And this, perhaps, is the only plus of the type of getting rid of hair. Among the cons are:
- skin irritation;
- the appearance of rashes in intimate areas that can become inflamed;
- short-term effect;
- ingrowth of hairs.
Because of such unpleasant consequences, most women prefer radical methods - removal of wax, sugar paste or a depilator. Of course, the results are much better: the hair does not bother until 4 weeks, with proper care and peeling does not grow, skin irritation passes very quickly (2-3 days) and it remains smooth for a long time.
On the other hand, epilation of intimate places with a depilator and wax is quite painful and often causes allergic reactions in the form of redness or rash. With a tendency to hyperkeratosis, the hairs still begin to grow, even when using a scrub with large abrasive particles. Shugaring can be an alternative, but sugar paste also significantly damages the skin, often causing a vascular reticulum or bruising. In addition, every time you have to grow your hair to a length of about 3-4 mm, so that it was easier to remove.
