Women are more concerned about their facial hair and men want to get rid of unwanted hair from their backs. There are many temporary hair removal products and techniques like waxing, threading, hair proliferators as lotions or creams and tweezing which are in use today. But many would prefer to permanently get rid of their unwanted hair and hence permanent hair removal techniques are in demand now.
Permanent hair removal techniques used nowadays are laser hair removal, electrolysis and intense pulsed light method. These methods are far costlier than temporary hair removal methods and usually you need to make a few visits to get the whole process done. But one has to remember that there is no permanent solution to hair removal.

You might find hair growing back after a few years but the hair would be lighter and thinner in nature. There are some important things to note before you would go for a permanent hair removal procedure.
Since all permanent hair removal methods are considered to be medical procedures you have to make sure that the practitioner that you are going to is qualified to do such a process. It is better to go to a practitioner who is certified and experienced. If the process is not done properly it could lead to skin burns and also skin irritation and redness. As all permanent hair removal methods are costly it would be better if you check out all the practitioners who are available in your city and then decide based on the cost, experience and also their track record.
Electrolysis is cheaper when done over a smaller area whereas laser hair removal method is cheaper for larger areas. Hence opt for a method based on the area that you want your hair to be removed from. Electrolysis is a process that takes a long time when compared to laser hair removal method which means that you will have to make more visits to the practitioner if you are opting for electrolysis method. Intense pulsed light (IPL) method has become popular in recent years and is more of a hair reduction technique than a hair removing technique. Intense pulsated light method is similar to laser hair removal technique and it is found to be cheaper than laser hair removal.
No matter what permanent hair removal technique you opt for make sure that it is done properly and also treat the area from which the hair has been removed. It is advisable to keep the treated area away from the sun for a few days as after any hair removal process the skin pores are opened up and the skin is vulnerable to sun burns. Do apply skin lotions preferably containing aloe vera over the area for a few days to smoothen the skin. Proper precautions and good care after treatment will ensure that you happy with the choice you have made.
