People have been curious about everything related to all things beauty. With growing numbers of people experimenting with various hair removal methods, Brazilian wax is getting a lot of attention.

Despite its popularity as a hair removal technique, a Brazilian wax isn’t exactly a standard dinner-table topic. If you’re someone who’s been curious about Brazilian waxing, this one’s for you!

What is Brazilian Wax?

Brazilian refers to a full-blown waxing down there. A Brazilian wax removes hair all throughout your bikini area, including those between your belly button, panty line, top of your pubic bone, butt, upper thighs, and strands along the labia.

Not only that, Brazilian wax can be used to decorate your intimate skin. Just ask your salon aestheticians to leave a small strip of hair depending on your preferred style. (You can even request a heart-shaped landing strip!)

Invented in the 1990s by J Sisters, Brazilian wax first conquered the United States. Due to its popularity among celebrities and prominent female personalities, the wax craze traveled overseas. The popularity of Brazilian bikini waxing also comes with its quick way to smooth things out below the waist.

What’s the Difference Between Bikini Wax and Brazilian Wax?

The concept of a bikini wax has already been familiar to most of us. Bikini line wax is when a salon esthetician uses hot wax to remove hair that would be visible if one did wear a bikini bottom.

Brazilian, on the other hand, is essentially the same thing, just removing more pubic hair in your intimate areas. You can also go completely bare or leave a small triangle strip of hair on top of your skin. A Brazilian wax is a way to go if you want an absolutely clean shave in your pubic area.

How do Brazilian Waxes Work?

Other than your bikini line that’s being waxed and the yoga positions you have to get into, a full Brazilian wax is just like any other wax treatment. 

Are you new to Brazilian waxing? Here’s what you can expect during your first Brazilian wax session:

1. Before you begin the session, discuss with your esthetician whether you want a landing strip on your skin or to be completely bare. You can also talk about your pain tolerance.

2. The waxer will lead you to your room and instruct you to remove your undergarments. (Don’t be embarrassed about your private parts; your waxer has seen it all!)

3. Powder will be applied by your waxer to prevent the wax from sticking to your skin.

4. Waxing begins at the front and moves towards the back. You may be asked to assist in holding areas that the wax technician cannot reach.

5. The technician will dip a wooden stick into the wax pot and apply it to your skin using either a soft wax or a hard wax to remove hairs. (Hard wax is recommended for this method, but it still depends on your waxer.)

6. The salon esthetician will pull the strip wax in the opposite direction of your hair growth. This quick motion will remove the hair from the root. This process will be repeated until you are completely hair-free.

7. Because this is a Brazilian wax, you may be asked to turn over and lie on your stomach or kneel on the table to remove hair from your buttocks. (Don’t be embarrassed if you’re asked to hold your cheeks apart.)

8. After the main wax procedure, the esthetician may use a tweezer to pluck any stray hairs from your private area.

9. Finally, the technician will apply a soothing cream to your waxed area to protect your skin.

Be extra careful and watch out for double dipping! A double dip occurs when a wax stick is placed on your skin and then dipped in the wax pot again. To avoid double dipping, ensure that your technician replaces the stick once it comes into contact with your skin. (Or simply avoids allowing the wax stick to come directly in contact!)

The entire process takes about 10 minutes to an hour, depending on your condition. So, while you may experience pain, it will be over soon enough.

Is Brazilian Wax Very Painful?

To answer this question, it depends on your pain tolerance. However, it may be extremely painful for first-time waxers. As wax adheres to the hair root, it also takes the top layer of skin as well, which causes more pain.

If you want to make your experience less painful, the only key you got is to keep getting it. As hair weakens and some even stop growing back, waxing becomes less painful.

As previously stated, getting a Brazilian takes around a few minutes to an hour, so know that the light at the end of the tunnel is close at hand.

How Long Does Brazilian Wax Last?

A Brazilian wax, just like other typical hair removal methods, usually lasts three to six weeks. Depending on how much hair grows, you will notice hair creeping out sooner or later than expected.

Since waxing removes all the hair from the roots, growth is usually slower than regular shaving. Shaving, on the other hand, lasts for an average of three to seven days.

Prepare for Your Wax Session

Waxing needs forward-planning to ensure a safe and less painful experience. Here are some of the ways to prepare yourself before the d-day:

Set your Schedule

Schedule your appointment before your monthly period. As there will be more blood flow in your pubic area during your menstrual cycle, your skin will be super sensitive. 

But, what if your period comes during your waxing session? Worry not, because you can absolutely wax while on your period! (Although you may experience more pain.)

If you have questions or concerns about your first waxing session, you can speak with your esthetician or education manager before your appointment to provide you with a complete process of waxing down there. Your waxer will help you feel confident and comfortable.

Let Your Pubic Hair Grow!

Since Brazilians remove all of your hair down there, one important thing to remember is your current hair growth. Let your hair grow accordingly since you may feel more discomfort if it is shorter than the recommended length. 

If you are removing your hair with a razor, you should stop shaving and wait for at least three to four weeks before getting waxed.

Prep with Pre Wax Oil

Since we have sensitive skin down there, prepping your skin with wax oil will help get rid of the skin’s dirt, sweat, oils, and bacteria. Not only does oil protect the skin, but also serves as a ‘magnet’ for the wax, causing it to stick to the hair itself rather than the skin.

Wear loose-fitting clothes

Wearing loose clothing is recommended to make your session easier and more comfortable. Before your appointment, prepare your loose undergarments and avoid harsh and abrasive clothing. Your skin, even your technician, will thank you after.

But before wearing one, don’t forget to wash your intimate area thoroughly before your appointment. (Bonus tip: Dip in a warm shower to help open your pores.)

Aftercare

Now that you achieved a hair-free aesthetic down there, you will need to know how to maintain smooth and soft skin for a longer period of time. Here are some of the things you should do after getting waxed:

Don’t Scratch!

As much as you would like to feel your newly waxed pubic region, you may want to skip touching and scratching it in the meantime. Since your bikini line is such a sensitive area, you must be careful to avoid further irritation. 

Apply Cortisone Cream

Many will observe small and red bumps on the skin after waxing. Since hair is removed from your body, applying cortisone cream after waxing may help relieve inflammation and swelling. Religiously apply a soothing cream to avoid further irritation, especially for people with super sensitive skin.

Exfoliate to Prevent Ingrown Hairs

A few days after getting waxed, practice weekly exfoliation to remove the dead skin that would get trapped in the hair follicles, preparing to be ingrown hairs. Just make sure to give your skin time to recover before beginning an exfoliation regimen to avoid pain and discomfort.

Weekly exfoliation promotes fine hairs to grow back through the skin and stops them from developing into those annoying ingrown hairs.

Avoid Sweaty Activities

Hair follicles remain open for several hours after getting waxed, so avoid any contact with any moisture and sweat for at least 24 hours. That being said, don’t take shower with hot water and avoid sweating out after getting waxed. (Yes, it includes sexual activity!)

Final Note

Let’s get things straight: Body hair is completely normal. There’s no right or wrong way to handle your pubic hair, and what you choose to do (or not to do) with your body is personal. Getting rid of and trimming your hair is a choice you make for yourself.

If you don’t want hair covering your intimate area, you can say goodbye to rough shaving and start getting a full Brazilian wax. 

Waxing isn’t just a popular hair removal method. While appearance is one of the primary reasons why people enjoy Brazilian waxes, getting a Brazilian also exfoliates your skin and removes dead skin cells.

You can also give yourself a DIY Brazilian wax at home with the available waxing kit at the market. Make sure to know the safety tips and tricks in removing hair at home to avoid complications and irritations. That being said, it is still recommended to try Brazilian waxing at the local salon near you.

Dealing with unwanted body hair is serious business for us women. That’s why there have been body hair removal salons all over the country and some of us even have routine appointments pencil booked to schedule our unwanted hair removal ritual. But all have changed in the past year due to healthcare protocols as we deal with the pandemic. Thus we opt for DIY hair removal techniques at home.

There are different at-home methods for hair removal such as shaving, waxing, sugaring, and other natural ways to remove body hair. Whichever method you choose, it is better to always be cautious as there is still some risk when you do hair removal at home, especially without professional supervision.

So here are some safety tips and tricks that you can follow while we are still waiting for our next hair removal salon visit.

Practice These 4 Steps to Hair-Free Skin

On our journey to a fuzz-free body, it is important to follow these 4 steps to ensure smooth hair-free skin.

1. Cleanse

Just like any artist does, start with a clean canvass. We want to make sure to remove all the dirt and bacteria on our skin that could go to a deeper layer once we do the actual removal of hair. This can cause irritation and bumps or inflammation called folliculitis.

2. Exfoliate

Have you ever tried hair removal before but you still have a lot of unwanted hair on your skin? Then try exfoliating your skin first the next time you try hair removal at home. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that have gathered around the follicles, allowing you to achieve the finest hair removal results possible and also prevent ingrown hair.

But if you will be shaving, waxing, or sugaring, please note that you cannot use a chemical exfoliant. It can make your skin sensitive and cause extreme skin irritation. It is better to lightly exfoliate with gentle scrubs or soft towels to gently remove dead skin.

If you will be doing a DIY natural method of body hair removal, be sure to check if the ingredients that you will use will not counter-react with the chemical exfoliant.

3. Hair Removal

There are a lot of options that you can choose for at-home body removal. Here are just some of the options that you can consider to try at home:

Shaving: This may be one of the most well-known methods for body hair removal. The pros are that it is easy to do and you need a good razor. The cons are that it can lead to dark skin and chicken skin and your body hair will grow back quickly. Tip: Use shaving cream and choose a razor with at least 3 blades for a smoother hair-free result.

Waxing: This is one of the most effective methods of body hair removal and the result can last up to 3-4 weeks. Though, it can be painful especially if it is the first time that you will try it. Waxing is also more prone to ingrown hair. Also, if you will be using the traditional hot wax rather than the cold wax strips, be sure to check the temperature of the hot wax to prevent burning yourself. If you do burn yourself in the process, then do the following steps:

• Put the affected area in running cold water.
• Don’t put ice directly on the burnt area as it will worsen the condition, rather, use a cold compress.
• If you have aloe vera at home, you can apply it in the burnt skin.
• If you noticed that it is still not healing, then it is best to have it checked by a medical professional.

Depilatory Cream: A depilatory cream uses chemicals to break down hair follicles in just 5 to 10 minutes. The results are a clean, fresh, and hairless face in a short amount of time. The only thing you need to be cautious about when using this product is that it may be harsh for some. Though most of these creams have been formulated with moisturizing ingredients to lessen the irritation, it is better to do a patch test before using this product all over your body.

Sugaring: Similar to waxing, sugaring results can last for a longer period of time. But this all-natural method is less painful and it can be created right at the comfort of your own home. If you have honey, lemon, and sugar, then you are good to go. It does have a caveat though. The ingredients may be easy to find, but doing a DIY version at home may take quite a lot of trial before you can get a perfect consistency. So you will need a lot of patience if you want to do this at home.

4. Moisturize

In our pursuit of removing the unwanted hair from our body, we have also stripped our skin of its natural oils. So right after whichever method you choose for body hair removal, it is important to moisturize your skin to prevent infection, itch, and other skin irritation.

Try products with Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and Vitamine E as this can help soothe your skin. You can also look for products that have AHAs as this is not only moisturizing but can also keep dead skin cells at bay to prevent ingrown hairs. If you have dry skin, then shea butter or natural body oil will be your best friend!

Final Note

At-home body hair removal can be quite scary and can be a daunting task. For some, they consider just not dealing with it. Since we are mostly at home in the meantime, they would just rather let it grow.

Whether you are a person who wants to have hair-free smooth skin 24/7 and will try to do it at home for now or you’re someone who is just more comfortable having your own body hair removal at home, it is always better to take the necessary preparations and aftercare to ensure that your skin will not be irritated or inflamed. Be sure to follow the 4 easy steps for hair-free smooth skin all year round.

As much as people deny it, everyone has body hair and facial hair. Depending on your personal preference, you may want to get rid of body hair in less than ideal places. There are several methods for body hair removal that are common to most people, especially women, but each of them comes with its own pros and cons, and likely aren’t permanent. 

Shaving leaves little stumps of hair that grow back quickly, waxing causes skin irritation and may even lead to ingrown hair, and laser hair removal treatment tends to cause sensitivity to the skin.

In this article, we’ll be talking about the different kinds of natural hair removal treatment so you can find the method that works best for you, your (unwanted) hair, and your skin!

What kills hair follicles naturally?

Your hair is made up of a tough protein called keratin, and each hair strand has a follicle that anchors it to your skin. The hair follicle is the root of your problem, literally. Hair follicles are responsible for your hair growth, color, and even how straight or curly it gets. Even if you pluck the hair from it, a new hair is sure to grow back soon. Basically, what you want to do is to destroy the hair follicles so it never gets a chance to grow back more hair.

Can you permanently remove body hair without a side effect?

Contrary to most marketing claims, there aren’t a lot of permanent hair removal methods. As we’ve previously mentioned, shaving or waxing your legs and plucking your unwanted facial hair just don’t cut it (pun intended). The following are some of the most effective long-term hair removal techniques and methods that you can try.

Laser Hair Removal

Lasers can target and destroy the hair follicle without causing damage to the surrounding skin. Although it won’t completely get rid of the hairs, it does diminish hair growth to the point that you don’t need to shave anymore. This treatment can be done on any part of your body with unwanted hair growth, with the exception of your eye area, and is considerably cheaper than electrolysis. This results in new hairs growing back finer and lighter, which works best for people with fairer skin and dark hair. 

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is an incredibly effective permanent hair removal remedy, yet it is also the most expensive process. This is the method that destroys the hair follicles to prevent new hairs from growing.

It basically uses electric currents that are conducted through fine needles and placed directly on the hair follicle. Unlike shaving and waxing, electrolysis destroys the follicle preventing any new hair growth.This is obviously not one of the at-home hair removal methods as it can only be done by board-certified dermatologists.

The side effects include pain and redness from skin irritation, and it will take many sessions before you can see any results. One session can cost $30-100, so people have to take all this into consideration before trying out this treatment.

Depilatory Creams

Another alternative to shaving and waxing is using a hair removal cream. A hair removal cream or depilatory cream breaks down the protein in each hair strand until it dissolves. This is actually one of the least painful ways to remove hair as the dissolved hair can then be easily wiped away.

A hair removal cream is generally safe to use, but it still contains various harmful chemicals. Carelessness when using these creams for hair removal results in possible rashes, blisters, or even chemical burns.

Chemical Hair Removers

Other than topical creams, one of the ways people can remove unwanted hair naturally is through the process of using chemical products. There are some chemicals in everyday items that we use that can damage hair follicles. Some of these chemicals are:

• Sodium Hydroxide and Calcium Hydroxide (Lime and Lye). This combination increases the hair’s PH level until the acidity destroys the follicles.
• Sodium Chloride (Table salt). While table salt isn’t toxic, it can dry out your scalp resulting in hair loss.
• Potassium Thioglycolate. An active ingredient in hair removal creams, it breaks down hair proteins and dissolves follicles.
• Thioglycolic Acid. This does not directly damage hair follicles. But it destroys the protein structure in the hair and skin, making it difficult for the follicle to grow hair.
• Diethanolamine (DEA). This synthetic ingredient makes your hair dull, brittle and lifeless – effectively killing it.
• Propylene Glycol. It damages cell membranes cutting off nutrient supply in the follicles. This prevents it from growing more hair.
• Potassium Hydroxide. This extremely corrosive chemical also damages cells responsible for hair growth.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. A common ingredient in shampoos, it strips the hair of essential proteins and oil. This results in slower hair growth, breakage, or hair loss.

Best Natural Body Hair Removal Methods

Expensive and/or chemical treatments may sound like great hair removal options. But if those methods don’t sit right with you, there are always natural hair removal methods that you can prepare and use at home. From pumice stones to sugar wax, there are plenty of ways to remove body hair naturally and without harming your skin. A few of these ways include:

1. Raw Papaya Paste with Turmeric

Not only is papaya a delicious summer fruit, it’s also great for taking care of your skin, plus it’s a key ingredient in one of the methods for natural hair removal. 

Mash a small amount of raw papaya in a bowl until it turns into papaya pulp. Add 1-2 tablespoons of turmeric powder to the papaya pulp and mix the two into a paste. Apply the turmeric and papaya mixture to the parts of your skin with unwanted body hair, such as your forearms and legs, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before you wash off with warm water. You can apply this once or twice a week regularly for 2-3 months. (Note that turmeric/turmeric powder might cause yellow staining on your clothes and body so handle it with care.)

Papaya, and by nature, papaya pulp contains the enzyme papain. Papain from papaya works to reduce hair growth, while turmeric has a long list of its many benefits. For those of you who don’t know, turmeric is a bright yellow, fragrant spice that has been used as a natural beauty remedy since ancient times. 

Turmeric can be used as a hair cleanser because of its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Like papaya, turmeric’s primary service is to weaken hair follicles but is mostly used to get rid of unwanted facial hair. Combined, turmeric and papaya become a fantastic hair removal method that will help get rid of unwanted hair naturally.

2. Cornstarch and Egg

This peel-off mask is another natural (and skin-friendly!) hair removal technique that can be made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry at home. 

Separate the egg white from one raw egg and mix it with a teaspoon of cornstarch and sugar. Layer the paste on your legs or other areas of your skin  with unwanted hair, increasing the amount as you go. You’ll start to feel the egg mask tightening on your skin after about 20-30 minutes. Peel off the mask against the direction the hair is growing in and pat dry.

The sugar and cornstarch will work as a mild exfoliant that will help remove hair and dead skin cells. The egg white has pore-tightening properties that will nourish your skin.

3. Sugar, Honey, and Lemon

If you’ve ever tried waxing your legs and other body hair off before, then you’re ready to try out this more natural method using these delicious ingredients. This concoction is what’s called a sugar wax. A sugar wax is a gentle alternative to traditional waxing. This method works the same way as waxing and uses waxing strips to peel off hair in different areas.

Start with mixing a tablespoon each of sugar, honey, and lemon in a metal bowl. Heat it gently until it forms a wax-like paste. Apply the sugar wax on a small part of your body with unwanted hair growth. Cover the area with a waxing strip, pat gently, and peel it off against the direction of your hair growth. 

Similar to traditional waxing, you should do this in small increments all over your legs, bikini line, or even on your chest hair. Take your time to moisturize afterwards to prevent drying out your skin. If traditional waxing methods irritate certain body parts, sugar waxing is a gentler alternative.

People often use honey for its antibacterial properties and as a great moisturizer, while sugar is one of the ways to help exfoliate the skin. On the other hand, the lemon is an effective skin bleach making this combo a fantastic method to getting rid of unwanted hair naturally! The results are smooth, hairless skin that lasts a few weeks. You may try adding aloe vera (gel or raw) into the mixture if you feel like your skin needs a little extra moisture.

4. Potato and Lentils Paste

Similar to the first natural hair removal solution, this paste makes for an easy application process that you leave on and wash off with water. This does take some preparation as the process starts with you soaking a cup of lentils in water overnight. This will make it easier for you to grind it into a paste the next day. 

The next step is to grate a medium-sized potato and extract the juice using a spoon or a cloth. Mix the two juices together and add a tablespoon of honey and lemon. Let it sit and dry on the parts of your skin with unwanted hair. Once it dries, you can rub it off with your fingers and wash with lukewarm water.

Potatoes are some of the best natural active bleaching agents that will help lighten the hairs and surrounding skin, while also aiding to remove hair in the places you don’t want them to grow.  When mixed with lentils, the paste is one of the ways that will help remove hair naturally.

5. Baking Soda and Turmeric

The many benefits of turmeric rise again in this natural hair removal remedy. If you have a bottle of turmeric powder and baking soda in your pantry, then you’re already set to try this hair removal method. 

Mix together one tablespoon each of baking soda and turmeric powder while adding water gradually until it forms a paste. Gently massage the turmeric paste onto the areas of body hair that you want to get rid of and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. After that, just wash the turmeric and baking soda mixture off with lukewarm water and pat dry.(Note that turmeric/turmeric powder might cause some yellow staining on your clothes and body so handle it with care.)

Our favorite powerhouse ingredient, turmeric, brings its antioxidant properties to the table once again to remove hair naturally. While turmeric is used to remove hair from the skin, it does not kill hair follicles. Turmeric could stimulate blood flow and induce hair follicle growth. Combine turmeric with the gentle exfoliant, baking soda, and you’re one step closer to never shaving your body hair again!

6. Oatmeal and Banana Scrub

This delicious-smelling body scrub not only gently exfoliates your skin, it also gets rid of unwanted body hair. 

This natural hair removal method requires you to mash one banana and mix it with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Apply the mixture on regions with body hair that you want to get rid off and massage in the opposite direction to that of your hair growth. Let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing off with cold water and patting dry. 

Not only does it get rid of body hair, unwanted facial hair, and even chest hair, it also reduces the rate of hair growth, leaving you with silky smooth skin for longer!

7. Oil Massage

Can you believe you spent all this time suffering through shaving your legs and waxing your bikini line, when the ultimate body hair removal answer was just in an oil massage?  

A massage using coconut, castor, mustard, tea tree, or sesame oil is another natural hair removal method that combines heat, friction, and moisture to thin and lighten the hair. It also helps to close the hair roots over time, which sounds amazing to me.

8. Garlic Juice

I don’t know if it’ll be enough to keep away vampires, but the sulphur, selenium, and zinc in garlic are a great way to keep unsightly facial hair, or any other hair for that matter, away from your beautiful body. 

Pick and smash a few garlic cloves and extract the juice. This hair removal method works by dipping a cotton ball in the garlic juice and applying it on the areas of your skin where you want to remove hair naturally from. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse completely with warm water. Follow it up with a moisturizer to get rid of that garlicky smell (or don’t, if that’s what you’re into).

9. Chamomile Tea

Unlike the previous ingredient, chamomile tea is made from daisy-like flowers that smell light and sweet. Chamomile tea was once a frequently used method for lightening hair. What actually happens is that your hair absorbs the golden yellow color of chamomile. The results of the lightened hair shows up better in the sun, and will vary depending on your hair color.

To use this on your body hair, steep two bags of chamomile tea for a few minutes and allow it to cool. Apply it on the areas of your skin that have some hair and leave it on for 20 minutes. This method to lighten hair naturally must be continuously done at home every week for a few months. Try it out for yourself and the results might surprise you!

Final Note

Hair removal is, more often than not, an aesthetic choice as opposed to a necessary one. Depending on the time of the year, body hair might be unsightly in some areas of the skin than most. The important part of body hair removal that we should remember is that it’s your choice how much of your hair you want to get rid of and how you do it. 

Getting rid of hair via chemical means might be efficient for you or maybe natural hair removal methods are what interest you. At the end of the day, your body, skin, hair, and all, is completely yours!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I remove body hair permanently at home?

Removing body hair at home can be tricky. We’re all used to short-term methods like shaving, waxing, and creams, but the results aren’t always ideal as the hairs tend to grow back in such a short amount of time. Maintaining the treated skin after shaving and waxing can be difficult, too. 

Shaving and waxing have their own disadvantages. Short-term results are one of them. Often, the biggest reason we turn to shaving is out of convenience and the fact that shaving doesn’t require the help of a professional. However, shaving can also cause all sorts of unwanted situations like chicken skin, small stumps growing back quickly, and shaving cuts. 

Waxing is also not for everyone, as it tends to dry out the skin and can even lead to ingrown hairs. However, there are natural waxing methods that are less irritating. Sugar waxing is one of these ways, and we go into detail in the section above. 

Since neither shaving or waxing are permanent solutions to one’s problems with unwanted hair growth, you might want to check out semi-permanent ways to do so. There is no way to permanently remove hair at home, but with some effort, you may be able to permanently or semi-permanently reduce hair growth with store-bought devices or DIY pastes and scrubs that you can make at home. 

One of the ways to remove hair without having to go to the clinic for a session is to consult with your dermatologist or licensed healthcare professional about prescription creams. Prescription creams can be used to destroy unwanted hairs by the root in order to prevent them from growing further.

Unlike shaving or waxing, you’ll actually get long-term results with these professional treatments. Just be prepared to spend a little!

How can I permanently remove hair from my stomach naturally?

Like we said above, in order to (almost) permanently remove hair from any body part, you’ll have to go beyond the usual shaving creams and waxing. A diode laser treatment is the go-to among Filipinas as it can accommodate different skin tones. 

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Hair removal via a laser treatment is not permanent, but it does effectively stunt the growth of hair on the body for a long period of time. After the initial sessions, most people need only to go back once every 1-2 years for a touch-up. Even though you’ll be making a big investment, it certainly beats the high-maintenance methods of shaving and waxing body hair.
