When it comes to removing body hair, there are so many options available that it is difficult to find the ideal hair removal method, as opinions about the best ways also differ.
To bring you the best on the subject, we researched and found what a great expert has to say.
S. Manjula Jegasothy is the founder of the Miami Skin Institute, a skin institute, and she talks about which hair removal method best suits your needs. Check it out below!
1. If you are willing to pay a lot and want the best results possible…
Consult a licensed dermatologist to perform laser hair removal. This is always the best option for those looking for a hair removal method that brings incredible and long-lasting results.
Generally, 3 sessions are required and you will have to repeat them every 1 or 2 years for maintenance.

2. If you are on a tight budget and need a good result…
In this case, the most suitable hair removal method is to use wax. Waxing produces a good result in the medium term and costs much less than laser hair removal.
The trick is to choose your wax formula carefully based on the area you are growing and also based on your skin type. It is often necessary to carry out some tests to achieve the best result.
Avoid burns by testing the wax lightly on an inconspicuous area (like the inside of your wrist) before spreading it over the area to be waxed.

3. If your hair grows quickly and you are very sensitive to pain…
In this case, a good old razor is the best hair removal method. This is, without a doubt, the best option if your hair tends to grow very quickly and if you simply cannot bear to feel pain.
When choosing this hair removal method, remember to hydrate the area properly. This will prevent the hair from growing thicker.

4. If you have a sensitive face…
If this is your case, you should consider trying a hair removal method known as Dermaplaning.
In this method, you shave your face with a special curved blade that removes hair gently and without causing irritation.
Additionally, upon contact with the skin, the blade provides the benefit of exfoliation and encourages collagen production.

5. If you want to get rid of hair as quickly as possible…
Hair removal with depilatory creams is the perfect hair removal method for those in a hurry. Depilatory creams can remove hair from large areas quickly.
The most used in Brazil is Veet. Just smooth it out, wait a few minutes and then remove the excess cream along with the hair.

6. And finally, a few words about home waxing…
Home waxing is a hair removal method that uses cheap household ingredients (typically sugar, water and lemon juice) to act like a natural wax that is supposed to be less damaging to the skin than traditional waxing.
However, the technique to obtain the perfect wax that is less damaging to your skin is difficult to achieve even by professionals, so Jegasothy recommends that ordinary consumers do not do this.
