Seek Out the Alternatives to Shaving for Getting Rid of Hair Under the Arm

A few years ago you may have spotted the odd female athlete showing off surplus hair under their arms but it is not the sort of thing any of us girls want to be seen with these days. 

A huge proportion of women still use razors to shave themselves in spite of the inevitable stubble they end up with the next day. This is a shame because there are now many better, longer-term products and possibilities available. 

Waxing at home can be good a form of hair removal for the underarms as it is for the legs or bikini line.You may well find yourself hair free for a number of weeks before you experience any regrowth, in addition to this hair follicles will probably become damaged so that the hair, when it grows back, might be sparser and finer - consequently appearing lighter in colour too. The possible downside of underarm waxing at home is how awkward it is. You can’t see the spot you want to wax thoroughly and you also just have one hand to utilize as the other is suspended somewhere over or in back of the head. Also, the hair grows in various directions under the arm, so various applications of wax may be needed to get the wanted results and that might leave the skin sore. Overall with the underarm area, you may be best off heading to the salon for a professional wax. Or may be not…

Modern advances in home hair laser removal have produced some pretty amazing intense pulsed light hair reduction units. The Remington i-Light, Silk’n Sensepil and VISS are just some of the names available and, although they tend to be a significantly cheaper option compared to making a reservation for yourself in a salon for professional laser treatment, they appear to be pricey and relatively time-consuming to utilize. A different thing to consider is basically that you aren’t just looking at the cost of an initial IPL reduction product, you will have to replace the lamps every so often with some of the devices and they can cost around $50-$100 a time.

One of the hair reduction devices which differentiates itself from the others is the no!no!. It makes use of a different technology to IPL (intense pulsed light) products in that it uses Thermicon to pulse heat into the skin rather than light. It more or less singes the hair which could get up your nose some but you will find yourself free of underarm hairs at a cheap price, quite rapidly and without pain.

Regardless of whether you want to underarm wax at home, visit a salon or get a no!no! or another IPL hair reduction product, it is essential to ready your skin properly for the greatest final results. Be sure you:

• Exfoliate the skin to remove any dead skin cells which will prevent in-grown hairs.

• Use an astringent to clean away any sort of residues of deodorants and do not apply deodorant the day you have your treatment as it can irritate your skin.

• Ensure the hair is of sufficient length for the hair treatment method you have decided to use.
