Permanent hair removal
Areas of the body on which people commonly undergo long-term hair removal procedures include the legs, arms, groin, underarms, face. Although some methods of hair removal provide results that last for months or years, few methods are truly permanent. Another method of hair removal that provides long lasting results is laser hair removal. However, some people need touch-up sessions to maintain the results. These tend to be necessary, for instance, for females who undergo laser hair removal on the face. A person should talk to their doctor if hair removal leads to side effects, such as: signs of an infection, which may include swelling or pus, excessive scar tissue and a skin rash that does not go away. A person should also talk to a dermatologist if they want to try a longer lasting solution to hair removal. Electrolysis provides permanent results. In contrast, the results of laser hair removal are long lasting but not always permanent. Health insurance does not typically cover the cost of these procedures. Some cheaper options, such as at-home IPL kits and prescription-strength creams, provide semipermanent hair removal without as much expense.
