Many persons though, perhaps the majority, would prefer certain areas of their body to be hairless. Unwanted body hair for some is a major cause of embarrassment. Others have to maintain a hairless appearance due to the nature of their work or leisure activities.

Thus arises the problem - a permanent hair removal method for unwanted embarrassing body hair which is economical, permanent, painless and safe.

Permanent hair removal products listed in any hair removal review are not always what they seem. In short there is no method currently available which measures up to the criteria listed above.

However, by browsing over this hair removal review, you will be able to decide which hair removal method suits you and satisfies as many of those requirements as possible, depending on your order of priorities.

Hair Removal Review - Permanent Solutions - Electrolysis

What is meant by permanent? In the context of hair removal, "permanent" can be a period of years. In other cases, a few months is described as permanent.

So if you are seeking a permanent hair removal solution that will last for many years then you narrow down your choice to electrolysis or laser.

With electrolysis, very fine needles are inserted into the hair follicle and an electric current is used to disable the hair growth. Each hair has to be treated individually. Repeated visits are often necessary and the cost can run into hundreds and thousands of dollars.

Much discomfort or pain can be associated with the process, depending on the individual. It is best carried out by a professional as there are dangers of skin damage if not done properly.

Hair Removal Review - Permanent Solutions - Laser Treatment

Laser treatment uses a laser to disable the hair follicle. Beams of light can treat a number of hairs at the same time. There are claims that the discomfort is less than electrolysis. It can be more expensive than electrolysis and repeated visits are often necessary.

One point worthy of note, the risk of skin injury is higher on persons with darker skin. Surrounding tissue can be burned and a wider skin area affected. With proper professional consultations however, the risks can be discussed and minimized.

Hair Removal Review - Hair Inhibitors

Many are unwaware of a method which is can make hair removal economical and in some cases permanent.

It involves using a regular method of hair removal such as waxing or sugaring or even shaving in conjunction with a hair inhibitor which is rubbed directly into the skin.

These topical solutions, made from plant enzymes, change the nature of the hair follicle so it becomes soft like baby hair. They need to be applied after using waxing or one of the other methods for a few weeks until the hair disappears.

The hair growth slows down until it finally stops.

Note: Hair inhibitors do not work for everyone. However, for the vast majority, as indicated by the low number of returned products, hair inhibitors slow down the hair growth and in some cases do so permanently.

Hair Removal Review - Waxing & Sugaring

Applying a layer of hot wax or sugar paste to the skin and later ripping it off along with the hair can provide a solution which lasts up to four weeks. It is relatively cheap but needs regular application.

Hair Removal Review - Depilatories

Depilatories are creams which can be applied to the skin area and removed after 20 minutes or so taking the hair with it. The treatment often does not last as long as waxing. Again this method is relatively cheap but needs repeating frequently.

Hair Removal Review - Tweezers

Tweezers are very cheap but it is time consuming and there is a risk of ingrown hair. The hair often grows back thicker and darker.

Hair Removal Review - Shaving

Shaving of course is cheap and quick. However, there is the risk of cuts and nicks to the skin unless you use an electric shaver. This method causes some inconvenience due to the regularity with which it has to be done.

Hair Removal Review - What conclusions did you reach?

From the foregoing it becomes evident that there is no ideal solution to the problem of unwanted body hair.

Depending on your need you may decide to go for the "permanent" solutions and pay the large expense involved and take any pain or discomfort than comes with it.

For the majority however, probably one of the less permanent methods provides an economical, convenient hair removal method.
