Home :: Hair removal Removing unwanted body & facial hair with the various means listed here...In our liberated era of rising hemlines, plunging necklines, shortened sleeves and sometimes-absent garments- hairiness is no mere facial issue; but a whole body problem. Practicing dermatologist Dr. Parul Kolhe (M.B.B.S, D.D.V) gives her views on combating unwanted hair... OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR RIDDING EXCESS HAIRWAXING Advantages Disadvantages Quick Tips EPILATORS Advantages Disadvantages SHAVING Advantages Disadvantages THREADING CREAM HAIR REMOVERS ELECTROLYSIS LASERS Most commonly a diode caser is used to "shoot" a certain skin area with the laser beam which selectively targets pigment. So the beams automatically cover hair follicles which are the darkest points in the skin. Obviously then people with very dark skin (with very little contrast-b/w skin & hair) cannot be treated as they may get skin cannot be treated as they may get skin burns. Neither can grey hair (without pigment) be removed. The price is also steep - about Rs.1500 to 2000 (even more) for an upper lip! About 3-6 sitting are required and if you afford it -it keeps you hair free for years. As of now, a very limited number of outlets in Mumbai offer this facility. DOES 'PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL' TECHNOLOGY EXIST?There is actually no such thing as "permanent" hair removal, as even if ALL existing follicles are destroyed, the skin regenerates new follicles in a few years so a regrowth occurs even after using laser technology or electrolysis. All said and done, there's a way to suit everyone's pocket and remedies to tackle disadvantages of any method you choose. Other Useful Sites Hairchick.com -

| I'm ultra hairy, so I HAVE to shave - a lot, but everytime I do, my legs get red, bumpy, ithcing, and I have a burning sensation for a few hours. I've tried hair removing creams, but had the same problem. I couldn't find an at home waxing (all I can afford) that worked. Any pointers? | |

| For combination skin, mix few drops of olive oil with egg yolk and apply on skin for 15-20 minutes. It will make your skin glow. | |
