There are many hair removal options to choose from

As an Aesthetic Director with extensive experience in both Singapore and Australia, I’ve observed a wide array of preferences and practices when it comes to body hair removal. The decision to keep or remove body hair is deeply personal and varies greatly among individuals. For those who opt for removal, the choices are diverse, each with its unique benefits and considerations.

Shaving, for instance, is a quick and accessible method, but it often requires frequent upkeep. Waxing, on the other hand, provides longer-lasting results by removing hair from the root, though it can be more painful. Tweezing is ideal for small areas like eyebrows, offering precision but can be time-consuming for larger areas. Depilatory creams, while convenient, may not be suitable for all skin types and require patch testing to avoid adverse reactions.

Laser vs. Razor: The Investment Worth Making?

Advanced techniques like Laser and Super Hair Removal (SHR) sessions are increasingly popular for their long-term results. These methods, while more of an investment in terms of time and cost, can significantly reduce hair growth over time, offering a more permanent solution.

This blog post aims to guide to you hair removal for various body parts, from face to the bikini line.

“Say goodbye to unwanted hair and hello to smooth, glowing skin with Wellaholic’s expert guide to facial hair removal!”

Hair Removal for Brows

Tweezing Brows

Prior to you begin plucking, mark where you desireyour brows to begin andalso finish with a white pencil. This prevents overplucking your brows, which might lead to an undesirable outcome. The pros’ ideal method:Hold the pencil against the side of your nose and put a line where itstrikes your brow; turnthe pencil diagonally so it touches the outer corner of your eye andalso mark that spot.

Lastly, placed a dot simply over the outside of your iris– that should be the acmeof your arch. Draw the pencil along the lower edge of your brows,linking the three lines, and after thattweeze only the strays thatgrow beyond them.

Waxing Brows

Don’t try to wax your eyebrows yourself, and don’t let unqualified friends do it either. Even a small mistake with the wax can mess up your eyebrows quickly. It’s best to leave this to a professional.

Threading Brows

Eyebrow threading has been around much longer than the treatment’s recent rise would have you think. The technique has been used in parts of Asia for centuries to remove unwanted eyebrow hairs. A twisted cotton thread is used to gently pull the hair from the follicle. It may sound tedious, but with an experienced eyebrow threader you can expect to be in and out of the salon within a half hour (or less).

Laser or SHR hair removal for Brows

Laser eyebrow shaping allows you to shape your eyebrows permanently with a series of quick 15-20-minute treatments. The laser is used on the brow line and areas above and beside the brow, but not below it to avoid any risk to the eyes. Protective goggles should be worn during the procedure. Lower energy is recommended for the brows to prevent burns.

At Wellaholic, we recommend using lower energy for the brows to prevent the occurrence of burns.

90% Report Hair Reduction from Just 3 SHR Hair Removal Sessions. According to a study by the National Laser Institute and compiled by Wellaholic Research, 90% of patients reported significant hair reduction after just three SHR hair removal sessions.

Hair Removal for Upper Lips

Waxing for Upper Lips

Upper lip waxing is a common hair removal method for women. Hot wax is applied and quickly removed, pulling out hair from the roots. It gives smoother, longer-lasting results than shaving or creams, and exfoliates the skin. However, it can be painful and cause skin issues if not done right. It’s important to go to a reputable salon with a skilled esthetician.

Laser or SHR hair removal for Upper Lips

As an Aesthetic Director with extensive experience in the field, I’ve observed the evolving landscape of hair removal technologies. Laser and SHR (Super Hair Removal) stand out as two of the most prominent methods, especially for delicate areas like the upper lips. In my journey, I’ve seen laser hair removal’s effectiveness, where a concentrated beam of light precisely targets hair follicles, disrupting their growth cycle. This method is quite efficient in reducing hair growth over time.

On the other hand, SHR, a fusion of laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, adopts a different approach. It gradually heats the hair follicles, leading to a reduction in hair regrowth. What sets SHR apart, in my experience, is its use of lower energy levels yet higher frequency of pulses. This combination tends to be gentler on the skin compared to traditional IPL, making it a preferred choice for many seeking a balance between efficacy and comfort.

If you are looking specifically at hair removal for your upper lips, chin, side burns or any facial areas, you can consider Wellaholic’s SHR for Small Areas, which start from $55 onwards.

Hair Removal for Underarms or Armpits

Shaving for Underarms

Shaving is a common method for underarm hair removal. The process begins with lathering the area with shaving lotion or soap to lubricate the skin. The razor is then carefully moved upward, downward, and sideways to address all the different hair growth patterns. However, as anyone who has ever shaved knows, stubble can quickly return, sometimes within a matter of hours.

To prevent nicks and potential infections or inflammation in the hair follicles, it’s recommended to use a sharp razor. According to Sizanne, a hair removal specialist at Wellaholic, changing the blade every few shaves is also crucial. This ensures a clean, smooth shave and reduces the risk of skin irritation.

Waxing for Underarms

Waxing is an effective method for underarm hair removal that can keep stubble at bay for several days, rather than just hours. It’s a straightforward process that can be easily done at home without the need for shaping. Wendy, a hair removal expert at Wellaholic, recommends using a strip-less wax. This type of wax acts like shrink wrap, effectively encasing each hair.

However, it’s important to work in small sections for the best results. Taking some painkillers an hour before waxing can also help manage any discomfort. Underarm hair is typically thick and grows in multiple directions, which can make its removal particularly painful. Therefore, taking these precautions can make the waxing process more bearable.

Laser or SHR Hair Removal for Underarms

Talk to anyone that’s wielded a laser as well asthey’ll tell you that the underarmsproduce the most effective outcomes; the hair vanishes the fastest as well as keeps away the lengthiest, with many individualsreporting that they have little or no hairdevelopment in the location years after quittingtreatment.

To optimize results and also minimize issues such as burns, treatment from a professional specialist is always favored. To get to that factor,you’ll need about six to twelve sessions. The hair willweaken an increasing number ofwith each session, and when hairs do start tore-emerge,the occasional maintenance session (once everycouple ofmonths) is usually enough tomaintain it away.

When it comes to eliminating unwanted hair in your private areas and get rid of your pubic hairs , laser hair removal is the best solution. Shaving around your bikini or butts is tricky work and often results in agonizing side effects like cuts, bumps, and ingrown hairs. Brazilian Waxing is another popular approach but involves ripping and tearing at your hair roots with hot wax, which can be rather uncomfortable, to say the least. Brazilian laser hair removal is an effective method to eliminate undesirable pubic hair – without any razors or hot wax. It also fixes the complicated concern of reaching around back blindly with razors to catch every last roaming hair.

Bikini? Brazilian? Unveiling the Hair Removal Truth

Not to get puzzled with a swimwear laser treatment, a Brazilian gets rid of all the hair in your pubic area where a bikini laser treatment just consists of the sides of your pubic area.
