Hot wax is the most effective. Heat it up and apply it directly (without burning yourself!) to the area to be waxed. As it cools, it hardens and traps all hairs, even the smallest ones. Cold wax is the most practical, as it is ready to use. Presented in the form of strips that are heated between the hands before placing them on the skin, it is ideal for flat areas such as the legs, but also for sensitive skin that does not tolerate heat well.
A depilatory cream is formulated with high pH active ingredients and/or sulfur derivatives that attack the keratin of the hair and dissolve it in a few minutes, without touching the bulb. Instead of being cut flush, the hair is destroyed in "hollow" (which explains why it is less thick to the touch). It therefore takes longer to emerge:you gain one or two days of tranquility.
Yes, in theory. But we do not recommend it on the jersey for two reasons. 1/ It's quite painful, especially on such a reactive area, and even more so if the hairs are long enough. 2/ It is a traumatic technique for the epidermis, in particular because of the tearing speed. Skin can also get caught in the epilator head. Good to know:whatever the area concerned, as the head of the epilator rotates at very high speed, it may cut some hairs, as a razor would.
No, it's not final. “It is a very long-lasting hair removal, explains Dr. François Strawczynski. When a hair follicle is destroyed, it is forever. » Yippee! But… there is always a (re)growth at the end of the program:as the laser only destroys the hairs in the anagen phase (=of growth), it is possible that, despite a certain number of sessions, they have not all were affected. A hormonal imbalance can also cause local regrowth, by activating “sleeping” follicles that have not yet produced hair. With a complete hair removal program, we consider that we have eliminated 90% of the hair. Don't nitpick, the result is great:the few hairs that grow back are fine and very light. If necessary, we can redo a laser session a few months/years later.
