We are approaching summer and many of us want to look smoother, with less body hair, when we show our skin during the warmer months. If you’d rather remove unwanted body hair, nothing can make your confidence plummet like it. Imagine this: You meet your crush on the beach during a hot summer’s day.
When you sit down next to someone, and look down at your legs, you see the patch of hair that was left on them that they forgot to remove. It’s very easy to focus on unwanted body hair when it would be more beneficial to spend time with family and friends. For those who prefer smooth, hairless, skin, finding hair where you thought it had been removed can be embarrassing.
Hair removal techniques can help. There is a permanent solution for your hair problems. Which methods will provide you with long-term and short term results? Continue reading to find out about the pros and cons of each method for removing body hair.
Shaving
Shaving is a topic that most people are familiar with. Shaving is the first time most people try to remove their hair. Water, soap or shaving cream and razors are required for shaving. To get a close shave you must wet your skin, apply soap, then wet the shaving cream or razor. Then, slide the razor upwards to remove the hairs at the surface.
You probably heard your mom tell you to not shave too soon because it will make the hair grow faster, darker or thicker. However, this isn’t true. Check out a blog to learn the truth about shaving and dispel such myths. The hair that grows back after shaving an area is usually coarser, and in some cases darker due to the lack of sunlight. It’s the same hair.
Pros
Anyone can shave. It’s simple, easy and painless. You only need soap and a razor to shave.
Cons
Hair does not grow back fuller or thicker when you shave. It also doesn’t remove hair from the root.
Waxing
The most common way to remove hair is by waxing. You can also do it at home, but be warned that the results may not be as good. Waxing involves spreading hot wax on a skin area, smoothing an adhesive strip over it, and then pulling upwards. This removes the hair from the root. Waxing is more effective than shaving because it removes the hairs from their source.
Pros
Waxing gives you a smoother, more even surface than shaving. The hair also takes longer to regrow.
Cons
The pain of waxing doesn’t go away, even though the hair follicles become weaker over time. Waxing doesn’t remove hair permanently.

You can choose the Lumi handset if you are looking for a convenient, painless and permanent solution to hair removal. The Lumi handset is a personal tool that uses intense pulsed lights (IPL) in order to permanently remove hairs from the affected area.
Over time, you’ll see less and less hair growth until it is no longer a concern (except for very occasional touch ups). You don’t need to worry about ingrown hairs or bumpy skin, you can remove the hair in private without having to go to a salon.
Pros
The results are permanent and long-lasting. The process of hair removal is non-painful and only takes 12 weeks to achieve full results.
Cons
The light technology is best suited to pigmentation, so not all hair and skin colors will see results. The results will be tested on people with very dark or light skin, but if they don’t get the desired result, a refund is available.
