How To Get Rid Of Facial Hair Permanently?:
You may maintain a strict beauty regimen, but there’s one thing that just refuses to be controlled. We are talking about unwanted facial hair. Sometimes we suffer from excessive growth and we find ourselves at a loss as to how to get rid of the facial hair permanently (usually coarse and dark).
Facial hair can take an emotional toll; studies show that women who suffer from excessive facial hair often report clinical levels of anxiety. A 2006 study, carried out in the UK, shows that on average, women with facial hair spend more than one and a half hours a week trying to manage the problem. So, what are the simple and effective ways how to get rid of facial hair permanently? Here’s a lowdown.
Causes Of Facial Hair
Generally speaking, hirsutism is attributed to a surplus of male hormones called androgens. Hormonal imbalance is often blamed for this kind of hair growth.
The other causes include congenital adrenal hyperplasia (a hereditary medical condition that affects adrenal glands), obesity or rapid weight gain and intake of anabolic steroids that are normally consumed by people who want to build muscles.
But PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is said to be the most common cause of excessive hair growth on your face or on other parts of your body.
1. Electrolysis
Electrolysis is quite a popular method of getting rid of facial hair permanently. Basically, during electrolysis, an epilator device is inserted into the skin and shortwave radio frequencies are deployed to damage hair follicles and prevent new hair from growing.
You can’t get long-term hair removal benefits from electrolysis in just one sitting; you would need several follow-ups to get rid of facial hair permanently. But if you have patience, and the money to boot, electrolysis can give you the desired results, according to experts. What’s more, it’s a low-maintenance procedure.
But do not go for electrolysis without consulting a proper expert. You need a certified dermatologist for this process. If unsterilized needles are used, this procedure could lead to severe infections.
2. Facial Waxing
You could also be asked to consider facial waxing as the latter can uproot hair from its roots. If you’re skilled, you can do this at home, but it is usually done as a salon procedure. It is also affordable, as opposed to permanent hair removal techniques, and is easy since groups of hair are removed in one go.
Also, over a period of time, waxing can achieve permanent hair removal if the follicle weakens enough. Soft wax (approved for cosmetic use) is applied over the desired area with an object like a spatula or butter knife. Cloth or paper strips are applied over this and pressed firmly into the skin. Then the strip is quickly ripped off in the direction of hair growth.
These days, hard wax is also available, where the wax can be ripped off without the use of a cloth. There can be some downsides though. To begin with, waxing can often lead to bloody patches on the skin. There can be skin irritation, discoloration and other allergic reactions as well. Since you have to repeat the process, pain can be a permanent feature.
3. Shaving
Shaving your face not only removes hair but also dead skin cells, thus exfoliating your skin. However, shaving can give you a five o’clock shadow, meaning you’ll have to do it more often to keep hair growth in check. It can also lead to ingrown hairs, and leave behind nicks and cuts if not done carefully. Remember to moisturise your skin after shaving to prevent dryness and itching.
Tip: Avoid shaving if you have excessively dry skin or skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema.
4. Sugaring
Sugaring is a hair removal method that uses sugar paste to get the job done. It can be used to shape eyebrows and remove peach fuzz without hurting the skin.
Tip: Sugaring can be done on sensitive skin, but avoid it if you have a skin condition like eczema.
5. Using An Epilator
An epilator is a device that pulls hair out from the roots, much like a tweezer, but faster and in an efficient manner. There are several types of epilators available, so choose one that is made to remove facial hair and that suits your needs.
Tip: Exfoliate a day or two before epilation to avoid ingrown hair.
