Body Hair Removal


What Causes Excess Hair?

body hairHirsutism is a condition in which there is excessive growth of hair on the face or body. It can occur in both men and women without discrimination and is caused by hair follicles that are overly sensitive to male hormones (called androgens). It can also be caused by abnormally high levels of these hormones.

Some medicines promote Hirsutism, such as birth control pills, hormones and anabolic steroids. Women of Mediterranean ancestry, Hispanic women and African American women tend to have more body hair than women of Native American or Japanese ancestry. The condition seems to run in families and your doctor may want to run some tests to find out what the underlying cause may be.

What can you do to get rid of the excess hair? If you're overweight, lose it. This reduces the amount of androgen hormones in your body that causes increased hair growth. Stress can also elevate your androgens significantly.


Beyond diet, there a many options available. Below are a list of medically established methods to eliminate excess or unwanted facial and body hair:

  1. Transdermal Electrolysis: One of the easiest procedures to perform currently available. No needles are used making it very safe and popular among "needle phobic" clients.

  2. Waxing and Tweezing: This is a great way to temporarily relieve the embarrassing condition of unwanted hair. Results usually last 2-4 weeks and can be incorporated with more aggressive, as well as permanent, treatment options.

  3. Topical Formulations: The sodium-hydroxide suspension Liquid Electrolysis damages follicle tissues on contact. This is one of the most substantial advancements in the field of epilation cosmetology in many years.

  4. Anti-Androgens: Carefully formulated androgen blocking agents designed to interrupt the hormonal signals which tell hairs to grow.

  5. Short-Wave Probeless: This procedure has been in use for many years, providing excellent result. It is virtually painless, making it perfect for the extra-sensitive areas like the face and bikini line.

  6. Laser Epilation: An exciting new technology which is faster than electrolysis. Laser is also non-invasive, so there is no risk of infection by poor sterilization procedures.

  7. Conventional Electrolysis: Blend or Galvanic, generally considered the most reliable and efficient method of permanently removing unwanted hair.

  8. Microlysis: The newest of all hair removal procedures available with a strong popularity in Europe. Works similar to Transdermal, but incorporates powerful anti-growth liquids to the protocol.


Recent, unexplained hair growth could be a sign of more serious health concerns including, but not limited to: adrenal virilism, Stein-Leventhal syndrome, ovarian cancer, hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome, or iatrogenic reactions. Consult your physician if you are experiencing any of these conditions.


Recommendations

YES, you can rid yourself of that ugly hair!  Choosing the right system is the most important step in the entire process of hair removal. There are so many procedures available it can be rather confusing. We encourage our customers to fully educate themselves before making an investment in epilation equipment or committing to a treatment schedule at a professional establishment.

Getting rid of hair has been the hardest part of living a bodybuilder's lifestyle for me. Having very thick, black hair that after shaving stubbles the next day annoys the hell out of me. I have seen up to four hairs grow out of one pore and I always tell myself (and want to believe) that my hair problem is a result of a testosterone overload in my body and hair growth is an outlet, even though

I have never heard or read anything that supports it. Though I hit puberty around eleven and had facial hair around twelve, I have recently set out to find out the best way to remove body hair, and this is what I found.

Sprays and Creams 

My first idea was creams because it seemed like the easiest and most painless route. I picked up a sample of Nair For Men at the Arnold Classic and couldn't wait to try it out. When I did, my first disappointment came when the Nair did absolutely nothing. I then tried Epil Stop and Spray and the only result I got was a twenty-dollar hole in my pocket.

Nads For Men

 The next route I took to hair removal was Nads For Men. When I spent thirty dollars on the stuff, I was sure I would also be 'hair free for up to six weeks'. After going over the instructions and seeing the examples on the included CD, I followed the instructions to the point but was also eventually disappointed.

Though the gel is soluble in water (easy to clean), it is extremely messy and the strips included are poor quality. I tried Nads and my chest and didn't remove any hair, except around my stomach, where the pores started to bleed and later left bumps. The rest of my body gave me the same type of results.

I have a theory for the reason for my problem. Since waxes and gels stick to the hair, having more that one hair in each pore can be a problem. After shaving, hair is obviously unevenly cut and even though Nads removes hair, it only clung to one hair in each pore, therefore still leaving hair on the area.

Nads is also extremely painful and inefficient. It would take at least 90 minutes to remove all your body hair if you didn't run out of the Nads first. And although the ads say that Nads is painless, they are far from the truth.

Shaving

Though I have tried many other alternatives, shaving has always been the method I went back to after numerous disappointments. It's fast and it temporarily removes the hair you want.

Shaving cream?  

Many people wonder how much shaving cream they will use in a month of shaving. I would estimate that you would go through maybe two cans a month for use on the whole body, which can start adding up when you consider how much you are spending a year. I personally use shampoo when shaving for very good reasons. First, it's cheap because you just use the shampoo twice in the shower or bath instead of only once for your hair. Also, shaving cream tends to clog up your razor pretty fast, where shampoo will just pass right through.

Razors

Once you decided on taking the route, you need to find a razor. I tried out Gillette's Mach 3, Xtreme 3 and Schick's Diamond razor and I liked the Xtreme 3 the most. First off, it's disposable so when your razor gets dull in a few days of shaving your body, you can just get a new one from the pack.

Secondly, since the razor is disposable the clip on cartridge won't fall off if you are pressing hard like with the Mach 3. Also, it has three blades for a close shave and a long handle to somewhat reach your back. Lastly, the Xtreme 3 has a comfort strip (that most disposable razors lack) that lubricates your skin enough that you can shave without and shaving cream or shampoo,

Tips for shaving

  • Don't waste shampoo on your legs. Shave them while in a hot bath with soft water or a bubble bath for the best results.
     

  • Take the most time on your upper chest because it tends to be the most sensitive area when shaving and can break out easily. Shave your chest last so the hairs have had the most time to soften up.
     

  • Learn the way your hair grows on different places and develop a pattern when shaving to make sure you hit every spot.
     

  • Shaving your back is possible to do alone if it's not in the middle of your back, but having someone else do it for you is most effective. I would have them do it without any lubricants after your shower, while your hair is still wet.
     

  • Having a good tan can hide stubble much better than having pale, white skin.
     

  • Have a schedule when you shave, so you are maybe shaving your upper body one day and lower body another so you aren't stuck the bathroom for an hour doing your whole body at once.

Shaving can become very tedious and feel defeating after stubble grows back the next day, but just keep up and remember that it's the cheapest and best affordable way to remove hair.
