Shaving Hair Removal: Pros and Cons
A razor is the most popular, but not the most effective way to remove hair. Forever, this method will not save you from them, on the contrary, shaving can contribute to thickening of the hair, it will become tough, dark and noticeable. Another disadvantage of using a razor is skin irritation. Sensitive epidermis can respond to shaving with rashes and redness. Also, after shaving there is the possibility of the appearance of ingrown hair. This can cause infection under the skin, cause unpleasant symptoms: itching and burning.
Using the machine is not very hygienic, because you can not completely rid it of microbes that will multiply in a humid environment. The way out is the use of a disposable machine. The only plus of the razor is its availability. Everyone can buy this tool. Buying a machine tool, a nozzle with blades, shaving creams and lotion after will cost about seven hundred rubles.

To give the eyebrows a beautiful shape or to remove the fluff above the lip, tongs are a convenient method. Their ends are long and narrow, which allows you to adjust the eyebrow line as you wish.

What are some effective ways to remove facial hair?
One of the most effective methods is electrolysis. Needles are connected to each hair, and current flows through them. The current destroys the hair follicle, the bulb. After such an execution, the hair dies and does not give new shoots.
The procedure is very unpleasant and painful. Before it begins, the master applies anesthesia - lidocaine or novocaine, special freezing sprays. This is not a new way to remove hair; women have been using it for several years. But still imperfect.

What is elos hair removal?
The elos hair removal procedure is suitable for all skin areas, it is practically painless and removes hair for many years, if not forever. For a long time women have been trying to get rid of unnecessary vegetation, but all known methods are not perfect. This is either short-term effects, or pain. Sometimes hair removal can create unnecessary ugly scars and scars on the skin, irritations. Elos technology is a new method of hair removal, it differs from all the above described by its technology and result.
Elos hair removal is aimed at stopping hair growth on all parts of the body that need to be cleaned. Elos is the effect on the scalp with a high-frequency light pulse and current. Using this technology, you can get rid of all hair - gray, hard and thick, gun, light thin hair.
Elos-epilation practically does not cause pain, it does not require the use of anesthesia. This method does not harm the skin, does not burn or injure. Recently, an improved, new elos hair removal machine was invented. It has a cooling system that completely relieves pain. The procedure should be repeated for a lasting effect, these are about six techniques.
The effectiveness of the method is associated with the characteristics of each person. There are only three stages of hair growth, in order to remove hair that was in the sleep stage in the first session, it is necessary to repeat the exposure.
It’s silly to promise that hair will never grow back on treated areas. Over time, those follicles that slept during all sessions will wake up. Thus, single hairs that need to be removed can grow. It is better to turn again to the technology of Elos.
How Elos Hair Removal Works
What is so special about this method? Why will the hair that has been treated with this machine not grow back? Everything is not as complicated as it seems initially. Under the influence of the apparatus, melanin (hair pigment) is very hot, which contributes to the effect on the vessels through which the hair receives nutrition. These vessels seem to be sealed. With this action, the follicle atrophies, ceasing to receive the necessary nutrition. This is precisely what gives such a result - the hair in this area will no longer appear.
Contraindications for hair removal
If the area of the skin on which the hair removal is to take place has damage, such as cuts, scratches, rashes, and an allergic rash, then you will have to wait for the healing to take place before removing the hair.
The skin is photosensitive - this is also a contraindication. Indeed, in elos hair removal, a light (optical) technique is used. Skin will get more harm from such a procedure than good.
Arterial hypertension. Due to the effect of technology on blood vessels, elos can lead to an exacerbation of the disease.
Tanning is undesirable during the procedure. The skin has already suffered, do not finish it with additional influences.
During pregnancy and lactation, it is also worth waiting for this procedure. This is due to the effect on the vessels.
If you are taking medication, then tell the master. Taking some of them may be a contraindication for the use of elos hair removal.
Skin diseases during exacerbation also require a wait.
How to prepare for elos hair removal?
If you do not have contraindications and decide to elos hair removal, then prepare for it is in advance. It is impossible to remove the hair in the treated area for a month with anything other than shaving. Shave intimate places two days before the procedure, all other areas - three days. At the time of elos hair removal, the hair length should be at least one millimeter. After the procedure is carried out, do not sunbathe for two weeks, take antibiotics, sedatives and use sunblock creams for a week.
