Caution should be exercised when choosing to use a temporary method of hair removal. Most temporary methods can irritate the skin and may result in increased hair growth.
These methods must be used continuously in order to maintain the look and feel desired. Some of these methods and products can be harmful to the skin. Constant shaving, waxing, tweezing, bleaching, depilatories and the use of home mechanical devices over a period of time can cause skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and sometimes scarring. They also can compound the problem rather than alleviate it.
Keeping in mind your ultimate goal, good judgement is a must when choosing how to deal with unwanted hair. (See our Laser Facts page)
