Q&A: Should I use an epilator over other hair removal methods?

Question by Janice Santos: Should I use an epilator over other hair removal methods?
I am not certain on what I should purchase for getting rid of unwanted hair. I was thinking about getting a wax kit, but then again many people says epilators are effective. Do you have an epilator and can you tell my what you think about it? Does it take a long time for hair growth? Is it really painful? Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Melissa
I epilate, maybe shave twice a year. The first time it’s very painful. Shave a day or two before you first epilate and it might not be so bad. It’s nice to not have to shave all the time and when you do get stubble it’s not nearly as much. Good luck.

Lasers Over Razors: Dr. Gene Rubinstein Reveals That More Blades and a Closer Shave Could Be Bad For Your Face

Lasers Over Razors: Dr. Gene Rubinstein Reveals That More Blades and a Closer Shave Could Be Bad For Your Face

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 5, 2006

As popular razor companies keep adding more and more blades to their razors every few years, dermatologist Dr. Gene Rubinstein has been noticing another trend: men shaving too close! Razor companies seem to think the closer the shave the better. Just look at the ever increasing razor advertisements boasting four and five bladed razors, as well as vibrating razors that shave even closer. While more blades do mean a closer shave, it also makes men more susceptible to skin problems.

“The latest shaving razors with multiple blades actually shave so close that they cut hairs below the surface of the skin,” says Dr. Rubinstein. These razors will actually pull the hair out of the skin a little before trimming it. “When this happens the skin can close over the hair follicle, trapping the hair. This can lead to ingrown hairs and even folliculitis, an infection of the skin.” It’s common for many men to ignore ingrown hairs but they need to see their dermatologist. “Anytime you have an infection such as folliculitis, you need to see a doctor,” urges Dr. Rubinstein. “We can prescribe an antibiotic or a cream to get rid of the bacteria.”

“Often times a better way to get smooth skin is to trade in your razor for a laser,” reveals Dr. Rubinstein. Laser hair removal is an easy alternative to shaving that more and more men are using, especially on the neck areas where hair is usually undesirable yet more susceptible to irritation and bacterial infection.

For those men who just need to use those flashy multi-blade razors, there are several guidelines they should be following to avoid skin problems like razor burn, ingrown hairs and bacteria growth. Please Dr. Rubinstein’s shaving tips below.

Dr. Gene (Gennady) Rubinstein is certified by the American Board of Dermatology and has had extensive training as a dermatologist including Boston University Medical School, UC Irvine, with additional laser dermatology training at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Rubinstein also serves as a Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at UCLA. He is constantly at the forefront of new developments in dermatology and is often approached by laser companies to conduct research and training. http://www.LAskinMD.com

Dr. Rubinstein’s Tips for Getting the Perfect Shave:

Do not shave immediately after waking since the skin on the face will be slightly swollen; wait 20 minutes.

Use a facial soap or cleansing scrub to remove dead skin, dirt and oil. Do not use soap as this dries the skin.

Always prep with warm water to make the skin more pliable and open the pores (showering first often accomplishes all of the above, but not too hot!)

Use a shaving cream or gel specifically designed for shaving

Always shave “with the grain” of your hair growth which can be determined by rubbing the hand over the stubble — the direction that feels more rough is “against the grain”. (Note: those who have previously been shaving against the grain to get a close shave will still get a close shave by shaving with the grain, though it may take a week or two for the face to adjust to the new method)

Be methodical when you shave — do not shave the same area twice, lift the blade after each stroke, and don’t press too hard!

Rinse your razor in hot water frequently — a clogged razor will not perform well.

When finished, rinse your face with cool water to remove excess cream, pat the face dry, do not rub.

Avoid alcohol-based aftershaves as they dry the skin. Instead use a balm or toner with ingredients that will moisturize and nourish your skin. After-shave toners help remove any residue left over from shaving, close the pores, and refresh the skin.

Rinse out the razor carefully with hot water at the end of the shave, tapping lightly on sink to dislodge clogged hair and cream. Air dry

Blades should be changed every 4 to 6 shaves.

Can I use the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System over a tattoo?

Question by JynStrange: Can I use the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System over a tattoo?
I have been thinking about purchasing the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System. I have numerous tattoos. I haven’t been able to locate the answer to my question on the company’s website. Is it safe to use the laser system over a tattoo?

Best answer:

Answer by dessertflower
Hi there
No you can’t use it over your tattoo’s because the laser light is attracted to dark pigments in the skin, the ink in the tattoo will pull so much of the light that you could damage your skin and your tattoo.
I have a few tattoos and used it before getting them so I wouldn’t have hair growing out of mine. I suggest if you plan on getting more and want to have hair free tattoo’s then get it so your ready for your next one.
Hope that helps!

Can I have success with women if I sweat all over and have a lot of body hair?

I have hyperhidrosis that can’t be cured so I always sweat a ton all over, especially in my armpits and groin and chest area as well as palms and feet (smelly socks).

Even worse, I have a ton of body hair.

I have tried all kinds of things for the sweating, and hours of electrolysis for the body hair. Laser hair removal is expensive and doesn’t work for most people unless you hae light skin and black hair. I even have hair on the sides of my stomach, in my nose, ears etc…

Nothing has worked and I am very unfonfident of approaching women because of these sweaty hairy problems.

I am 6 feet 175 pounds and not out of shape.

But I look like a smelly wet ape.

Will women care about this if I fake confidence?

All Over Body Hair Removal

Today, a male body builder is not the only person into removing hair from all over their body.

Aside from the fact that there are more and more female body builders, there are scores of everyday males and females who remove hair from all over their bodies.

Both in the media and on the street, an obvious example is how many males and females are into head shaving.

At the pool or the beach, and even on neighborhood basketball courts, it’s much more common to see males with smooth and hairless chests and backs. And even a few without armpit or leg hair.

And if you think about it, males in the media advertising underwear and fitness equipment don’t have any body hair. They have it removed because the current fashion in this society is for males to be hairless.

Some would say it’s about time they caught up with the females …

But the truth is – Today’s males ARE more aware of and conscientious about their overall image and removing body hair is a major means of projecting the most positive image. Besides, males have been learning what females have known ever since they started removing their body hair – There are some definite benefits to doing so.

Less body hair means less body heat. Less body heat means less body odor. And we can all support that.

But, perhaps even more of a benefit is the fact that removing body hair helps to define body shape. For females in particular, this applies to their legs. For males, their chests.

That’s why when body builders are getting their body ready for competition, they use some type of hair removal.

And because there is such a growing trend towards complete body hair removal these days, we look to body builders and other athletes for information about the best way to accomplish it.

But even for body builders, it hasn’t always been easy to connect with the, “perfect”, hair removal product or system.

Before the mid 90s, body builders relied mostly on services employing people who became their personal body shaver. These people used a wet razor to remove the hair from the body builder’s entire body a few hours before a competition. Then they’d oil them down.

After the mid 90s, body builders began relying on laser hair removal treatments. But that didn’t really work out so well.

Partly because the high cost of the treatments took a big chunk of their competition winnings, but mostly because their entire body couldn’t be made completely hairless in one session, or even two or three. So there was the time factor.

Then there were the unsavory side effects of swelling, redness and maybe even some blistering, that often kept body builders from competitions, even if they completed the treatments well ahead of time. When people started coming up with scars – that was pretty much it.

So many body builders returned to the tried and true body shaver.

But that’s not to say that many body builders haven’t experimented with a variety of other alternatives to laser hair removal.

The main laser hair removal alternative methods include: electrolysis, waxing, depilatories, and the old stand by, shaving.

Electrolysis may be the only hair removal method that has been proven to be permanent, and that would seem ideal for a body builder, but -

Because electrolysis involves treating each individual hair follicle, (the skin depression from which the hair emerges), it is also the most time consuming hair removal method. It can take years of weekly or monthly sessions to completely remove all hairs in just one area. And -

Because electrolysis involves inserting a fine wire alongside the hair shaft into the hair follicle through which an electric current and/or strong chemical is sent down to destroy the growth source, (papilla), at the end of the hair, it is also quite painful, even for mighty body builders, even with the use of a topical anesthetic. And -

Electrolysis has some of the worst temporary side effects – Swelling, redness, pinpoint scabbing and skin discoloration, and worse, the possible permanent effects of skin discoloration and scarring.

Add to all of that – Electrolysis is the next most expensive method of hair removal.

So it’s easy to see why electrolysis is not a viable laser hair removal alternative for body builders.

A hair removal method that isn’t as expensive, can last for 3-8 weeks and would seem viable for body builders is waxing. And because waxing can be done on the entire body in one session, it would seem ideal for a body builder, but -

Waxing basically involves applying a warmed taffy like substance to the hairs in an area, then cloth strips, all of which are allowed a moment to cool and adhere to the hairs and then the strips are very quickly removed, pulling the hairs out by their roots.

Obviously, this hair removal method is pretty painful, so a topical anesthetic is recommended. But that’s not the real problem.

The real problem is that while the wax is adhering to the hairs, unfortunately, it’s also adhering to the skin. Which means when the cloth strips are yanked off, sometimes so is some of the skin. Understandably, this leads to some swelling, rawness and redness.

Usually, if waxing is done several days ahead of time and they stay out of direct sunlight, a body builder’s skin is able to heal for competition. Usually … There have been some complications such as infected ingrown hairs and other infections that have left scars.

Which means waxing is not the best laser hair removal alternative.

A host of body builders use the hair removal product of a depilatory to remove all of their body hair. It’s an inexpensive method that can remove hair on the chest, back, underarms, hair in the bikini line area ONLY and legs quickly, easily and painlessly for a few days, but – You knew there had to be a but -

A depilatory employs strong chemicals that basically, “melt”, the hairs above the skin, which can then be wiped from the skin surface.

Problem is, hair and skin are composed of similar materials so that these harsh chemicals that melt the hair can also burn the skin and cause swelling, redness, bumps, ingrown hairs and even scarring.

So using a depilatory hair removal product is still not the best laser hair removal alternative.

Which is why many a body builder is still a body shaver when it comes to inexpensive, reliable and relatively safe hair removal that, when done properly, provides smooth results.

Sure, there’s only one way to receive a, “razor burn”, and that’s by shaving. And it’s possible to get scrapes, nicks and cuts, as well as rashes, bumps and ingrown hairs from shaving, but -

These are minor side effects as compared to all other hair removal methods. And they can be covered with make up if need be. (Yes, make up is worn by body builders, when necessary.)

And shaving truly can be done on any part of a body builder’s body. In fact, if it happens to be part of their overall presentation, there’s really no other way a body builder can achieve a beautiful bald head than by head shaving.

These then are the hair removal experiences and results of body builders from which the everyday person can learn.

Although there is one more method of hair removal for all body shavers, including those into head shaving – It’s still shaving, but with an inexpensive tool designed to easily, quickly, and most importantly, safely provide clean, close, and smooth hair removal – All over your body.
