Effectiveness of IPL Hair Removal Clinics or Machines

IPL Hair Removal stands for Intense Pulse Light removing of hair. The light it is produced by the ipl machine and its role is to heat up the follicle and destroy it, the result been a body free of hair. Sounds too good to be true?

Well, the effectiveness of IPL hair removal depends on the color of the skin and of the hair. As a general rule, persons with dark hair and white skin are the perfect candidate for this hair removal method. If you skin has too much melanin, this means is darker, the treatment can be even dangerous, since your skin will get very easy hot. This rule is also valid for home IPL hair removal devices such as Tria, Philips or Boots to name the most popular ones.

The treatment with intense pulsed light should not be used by persons with very blonde hair, white hair or grey hair. Since the hair contains too little melanin, the light cannot burn it. It is recommend it you try other permanent hair removal methods such as electrolysis since laser treatments uses the laser bean to destroy the hair follicle as well.

Hair grows in stages and often this depends on your hormonal levels or other medical conditions. The effectiveness of this treatment does depend on you having to do several sessions of treatment to see the best results and to get rid of hair completely. You may need at least three sessions to start see the results and hair stop growing again.

Another issue with this treatment of hair removal is that needs to be done by professionals. Incorrectly applied can leave you with skin burns and skin damage. This is why, ipl hair practitioner as well as laser treatments providers in some country have to be approved by the Health Comissioner or any other regulation body. Keep this in mind when you choose your cosmetic salon for IPL treatment.

Since the IPL method of removing hair have become so popular, now you can do it at home by puchasing home IPL devices. The rules of choosing to do this hair elimantion solution applies the same as for choosing if you do it in a clinic. For safty reasons, their intense pulsed light is lower, and it should not be applied on the face. 

Actually, just Boots Smooth Skin can be used on the face from all the devices that are on the market today. They come with a hefty price though, but compared with laser hair removal treatments, they are at a fraction of the cost.

How do depilatory creams work for face, bikini or body area?

Depilatory creams are an easy hair removal method and can be done easily at home. The way these depilatory creams work is by distroying the keratin bonds in the keratin and the hair it is easily removed when the cream is removed from the skin.

Most such creams contain a chemical mix, but their main ingredient is calcium thioglycolate. The reulst is that when you wash your skin off the cream you will smell an sulfur odor which can be quite unpleasant for some.

When it comes to using a depilatory cream, you have to follow the instruction on the label, otherwise you risk getting some bad effects. The most common problem occurs when the cream is often let more than the recommended time, resulting in skin irritation and sometimes even burning. It will usually heal itself in a day or two, but if used on the face, this can be very unplasant.

Some people with sensitive skin may find using these types of hair removal creams too irritating for their skin type. Nowadays, you can buy depilatory creams for sensitive skin so you can use it as well. Despite the fact that they are made specially for sensitive skin, some people may find them irritating as well.

Unless specified, shaving creams should be used on legs and arms, and for men, on chest and back as well. If you would like to use them for removing hair on face, you should purchase hair removal creams made specially for face. Normal depilatory creams may irritate your face skin.

You can purchase depilatory creams anywhere now, with some popular barnds been Veet and Nair. They are very easy to apply and remove unwanted hair. The downside of using hair removal creams is that the results last for a short period of time. Usually, after two days to three days you will notice the hair starting to grow again. Also, people with drak hair may find that the skin remains with noticeble "shadow" under their skin.

For this reason such creams should be used as an emergency hair removal method and not be your primarily way in which you remove body hair. The only exeption would be for women which want to remove upper lip hair and men who want to remove head on their head and do not want to shave it.

Verseo ePen Hair Removal Review

Everyone wants to get rid of hair without doing any work. If you expect to get permanenet hair removal at home without any persistent work, then please do not buy Verseo ePen home electrolyss system because you will waste your money. Better spend it on salon electrolysis sessions which do work.

Verseo is a company which develops lots usefull gadgets for beauty and skin care. Unwanted hair on your face, bikini line, back, upper lip, makes lots of women nuts about hair removal since waxing every few weeks takes time and money.

What is E-Pen Electrolysis System?

The system uses galvanic technology to bring heat to the root of your hair. You have two ways to use it: one hair at a time, the same as in professional electrolysis spas and using special pads to treat larger areas.

From reading customers reviews, it seems that using the second method does not give the same results as the first method. Or better say, use to kill one hair root at a time rather than larger areas. It does takes time, but it is actually much more cheaper then going to your local esthetician. Note that it does take months and possibly years to see significant results with electrolysis hair removal.

Verseo E-Pen Professional

If you opt for the professional E-pen kit, you will receive a control unit, twzeers, cottun buds, a conductive gel, 6 epen replacement conductive pads, 1 3-fold soft pouch, i lid with 3 pads connectors.

On their website, verseo.com, they have an user instruction manual which you can download before you purchase E-pen hair remover. If you suffer from some medical conditions such as epilepsy, you can not use the device, for example.

Which body parts you can use it?

Well theoretically you could use it on any body parts where you have hair, only that it will take you years to see any results. Because of the time involved, most women choose to do electrolysis, including at home electrolysis, on smaller body parts and where hair is really unaesthetically such as chin, eyebrows, upper lip, neck, back or bikini line.
.

Where can you purchase Verseo E-Pen?

The best place to order it is from their website, verseo.com. The professional E-pen kit costs $89.99. You may need to buy adhesive pads later on though as they last up to 8 treatments and 6 of them costs around $19.95.

Women Facial Hair Removal Methods

If you are unlucky enough to have facial hair, than finding a facial hair removal for women that works effectively is essential. Many women feel quite embarrassed of having hair on their face, be it just a mustache or covering their cheeks as well. Women do get hair to grow onto their faces for different reasons.

It's a genetic thing

Firstly, there is no secret that women with darker skin pigment, especially in Mediterranaen area and Middle East do get born with this, so it is genetic and it is called hirudism. There is nothing to be ashame of it and women have developed for centuries effective facial hair removal methods such as sugaring.

If you have not been born with facial hair and suddenly you notice it has started to grow, it could be due to some medical reasons such as pollycistic ovarian syndrome or it could be hypothyroidism. Other reasons may be some medications, particularly treatment with Dilantin for epilepsy condition. In general, sudden facial growth is a sign of a health condition which you should check with your doctor.

Best methods for removing facial hair 

There are good and safe methods of removing facial hair for women as well as bad ones. The best methods in my opinion are waxing, laser hair removing, facial hair removal creams and sugaring. Bad examples of hair removal methods for face are epilation or tweezing and shaving.

Facial hair waxing is an old method used by women to remove unwanted hair, including the ugly mustache and hair on the chins. It is not as painful as it may seem, since I've used it to remove my own facial hair as well. You can use warm wax or cold wax. I find the warm wax working much better, honestly I've never managed to make work those cold wax strips that you can buy in stores. The disadvantages of this method is the obvious pain and the fact that you will be one day with a red skin.

Sugaring is a completely natural method of removing hair and it is less painful than waxing. You can buy sugaring gels and if your skin is sensitive, you could opt for completely natural options.

Using facial hair removal creams is the easiest way to remove hair on the face. If you are adverse to waxing, than this is a very cheap option for you to get rid of hair in general. You should choose a cream special made for removing hair on the face. There are different brands available, so you have plenty of options. The disadvantage of this hair removal method is that your hair will grow back pretty fast. If your skin is sensitive, you may otice a small redness of the skin which usually lasts one or two hours.

Getting laser hair removal for facial hair is very effective and the best option in my opinion if you have the money. The risks are small compared with the satisfaction of not having to see your face hair in the mirror again.

Using raser blades to shave facial hair by women is the worst thing you can do. After all, you don't want to get a men skin looking. While shaving is a cheap and convenient way of removng hair on legs, arms or pubic area, it is a bif no-no for facial hair in women. The main reason is that the roots of hair tend to get stronger and more proeminent when shaving.

Electrolysis hair removal is another good method of removig hair, though it can become quite costly since every single hair must be removed one by one. Also, it can not be used by women with whiter skin pigment.

Philips Lumea SC2003 IPL Hair Removal Review

There are some home IPL devices that you can use safely from the comfort of the home nowadays and Philips hair removal lumea is one of them. Though coming from a very strong brand name, Philips, which also has in its ranges depilatory devices, I found that it lacks behind its competitors.

Who can use ipl hair removal method?

IPL stands for intense pulsed light method. This light destroys the hair follicle but to work properly you need to have dark hair and white skin. The methodology does not work for light blonde hair, red hair, grey or white hair. It also it is not recommended for persons with very dark pigment and black skin because their skin can get burned. The method is a permanenet one.

Either you choose to purchase a ipl hair removal machine, either you visit a cosmetic salons which does these hair removal treatments, you have to first establish if it works for you. If you have any type of hair listed above or skin type, you should not purchase Philips Lumea or any other IPL hair remover because they do not work and you will waste your money.

The Philips Lumea comes with a handheld device which is pretty easy to use. You can apply it when your hair is about 3 cm, making sure that your previous hair removal method was shaving, and every two to four weeks. You can use it for any body parts below your neck, but most people prefer it from doing their legs, for underarms and bikini line. You should not attempt to use Philips Lumea for face since it is not approved for face use and their user manual clearly states this. As a side note, the only such ipl hair remover approved for face use that I know off is Boots Smooth Skin Hair Reducer.

The downside of Philips Lumea SC2001 is its low lasting battery. It comes with a rechargable batteryy but it lasts only 15 minutes of full use which is not enough to do one leg. It can recharge fully in about 90 minutes. So, you will need to recharge twice just to finish one leg. This can be a very annoying for some women and, gathering various reviews, seems that its low battery life is its only downside.

The new Philips Lumea SC2002 can be applied on upper lip, chin and sideburns, but the hair need to be 2 cm long. It comes at about £50 pounds more than the SC2001 edition which cost around £400. It comes with a 60 days money back guarantee. You may want to read the return policies from the shop you want to purchase it.


 Can men use Philips Lumea?

The company maker, Philips, didn't publicly say if men can use it also. Bear in mind that the men hair is different than women hair, and this device has been designated more for women use since the market for body hair removal is considerably bigger.
