Whenever you ask somebody about the best hair removal tips, or for a method for permanent hair removal, you would always get varied responses. Every person has some sort of notion or myth resident in their minds about the various hair removal techniques, their effects, side effect, after effects, etc. That is why you need to find out the reality behind the most talked about hair removal techniques.
Waxing and laser hair removal are two common and most talked about techniques to get rid of unwanted hair from the body and face. And here is a simple understanding of what exactly to expect from them.
What is waxing?
Waxing is the technique where you put a sticky wax kind of mixture on the skin, and smear it, let it set, and then put a cloth on the sticky smear, rub it to stick well on the wax, and finally pull it off on the opposite direction of hair growth. The hair is completely removed from the root, and you get the smooth hairless skin.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser beams a very low power are put on the skin, and only the upper skin layer absorbs the laser so that the hair follicles are burnt from the root, and the hair comes off. The follicles are destroyed in the process. The upper skin layer needs a rest of a few days with care and protection of sunscreen lotions. After avoiding sun exposure for a few days while caring for the skin, the skin gets hairless forever.
