Hair Removal

What is it:
 

Hair removal is the process of removing unwanted body hair. It can be done temporarily or permanently through various methods. Common areas for hair removal include the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.
 

Facts:
 

Hair removal methods range from temporary solutions like shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams to longer-lasting options like laser hair removal and electrolysis. Shaving cuts hair at the skin’s surface and needs to be done frequently. Waxing and sugaring remove hair from the root, providing longer-lasting results but can be painful. Depilatory creams chemically dissolve hair but may cause skin irritation. Laser hair removal and electrolysis offer more permanent results by targeting hair follicles, but they require multiple sessions and can be costly. Factors influencing hair removal choice include skin sensitivity, hair type, treatment area, pain tolerance, and budget. Proper aftercare, like moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure, is crucial to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.

SUGARING

Body Sugaring is a method of hair removal using 100% natural paste made up of only sugar, lemon, and water. The sugar paste is applied by hand and removed in the direction of your hair growth. This drastically reduces the occurrence of hair breakage, painful ingrown hairs and also allows us to remove smaller, harder to grab hair. Look and feel your best by having unwanted body hair professionally removed. It is important to understand that wax not only removes hair but also nourishes the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and silky.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL - BareIT

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a laser — an intense, pulsating beam of light — to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth.
