Just thinking about waxing makes you feel terrible agony and afraid of feeling pain?
If your answer is yes, you are probably part of the group of women who have already experienced trauma from waxing, which, despite being very effective and long-lasting, causes a lot of discomfort, especially in women with sensitive skin.
In addition to pain, if the chosen method is not the most suitable for your skin type, there may be other unwanted reactions, such as redness, itching, ingrown hairs, irritations and folliculitis, which is not, by far, what we are looking for when let’s do a waxing.
It is also important to know that, although some procedures are quite long-lasting, none of them are 100% definitive and you may need to do some tests to find out if your skin adapts well to this type of hair removal.
Despite these obstacles, there is no need to stop having smooth, hairless skin, especially in the summer, when we expose our bodies more on the streets, at the beach or in the pool.
There are some methods for removing hair that keep you away from pain. Check out some of them below.

1 – Blade
The simplest and cheapest method to remove your hair without feeling pain is to use a razor.
Great for emergencies and very practical, this method removes hair superficially and is only effective for a maximum of two days.
As the blade damages the skin, it is important that you do not shave when your body is dry and use good quality double or triple blades to avoid cutting yourself.
It is recommended that you shave in the shower, with warm or hot water, which helps to unclog pores and facilitates hair removal.
After waxing, apply a post-depilatory gel to soothe the skin and prevent irritation or ingrowns.
Constant use of the razor can darken your skin, especially in areas such as the groin and armpits. Therefore, it is recommended that you alternate hair removal methods.

2 – Laser
If you are looking for a longer-lasting method to remove your hair painlessly, a great option is the laser.
Effective in eliminating hair, the procedure consists of pulsing a light through a laser in the area to be shaved, with the aim of destroying the root of the hair and thus making it, little by little, stop growing.
To be efficient, laser hair removal requires 5 to 8 sessions, depending on the skin type and amount of hair, which will require a higher investment.
Although painless, the laser usually leaves the shaved area very heated during the procedure and a slight burnt odor, as the light comes into direct contact with the hair.

3 – Photoepilation
New to the beauty market and already a sensation among women, photoepilation is similar to laser hair removal, as it is also carried out using intense pulsed light, which leaves the hair thinner and more fragile with each application.
After a few sessions, there will be almost no new hair growth.
The cost is lower than laser hair removal, but it usually requires more sections to generate results: 8 to 12 applications, with maintenance every six months.
And remember: if you opt for photoepilation or laser, stay away from the sun, as they can stain your skin.

4 – Depilatory cream
Another low-cost procedure with immediate effect, depilatory cream is a method of removing your hair without any pain.
In the same way as the razor, the action of depilatory creams only happens on the superficial areas of the hair, not reaching the roots, which means that the duration of hair removal is shorter compared to laser methods, leaving your skin smooth for up to 4 days.
Despite being efficient, it is necessary to strictly follow the product’s instructions for use, as if the action time is exceeded, the cream can cause irritation and inflammation on the skin.
