Hair Removal and Waxing

Depilation is the temporary removal of superfluous hair. There are various depilatory methods available these include plucking, waxing, shaving, cutting, abrasive gloves, depilatory creams, bleaching and electrolysis.

Waxing completely removes the hair from the follicle; this leaves an active area of cells. Over a period of 4-6 weeks depending on the strength of the hair and new hair will grow. Over a period of time and regular waxing treatments the hair becomes weaker and will eventually stop growing. In some areas the hair growth is stronger than others and will therefore require longer periods of waxing treatments than others. The rate of re-growth varies amongst individuals.

Methods of hair removal such as shaving, cutting, abrasive gloves and depilatory creams only remove the hair from the surface of the skin so within a few days blunt re-growth is apparent-the hair grows back often thicker and spiky.
