Thanks to a wide variety of methods and methods for hair removal in the armpit area, you can choose the perfect option for yourself, taking into account your goals and personal preferences.
Shaving armpit hair
This method helps to get rid of unwanted armpit vegetation very quickly, but the effect will only last for a few days. By shaving gently, irritation can be avoided.
This method has certain disadvantages:
- A high degree of trauma, because in the absence of stable shaving skills, there is a risk of injury to the skin.
- After the completion of the procedure, it is impossible to get perfectly smooth skin; rather noticeable black spots will remain in the shaving area.
- There is a risk of ingrown hairs forming into the skin.
- The result will last only a few days - the hairs in this area have a fairly fast growth rate, so a rather stiff bristle appears soon after shaving.
The underarm shaving procedure should be performed at least once every 2-3 days, depending on the rate of hair growth.
To carry out this procedure, aimed at removing unwanted hair, it is necessary to prepare a shaving razor in advance, while it is recommended to give preference to female models that have a double or triple blade. These types of razors have been specially designed to perform a quality shave in the area of dimples and curves.
It is best to avoid using low quality and very cheap disposable machines. It is necessary to periodically change dull blades, otherwise after shaving you will get quite severe irritation. Only skin that is perfectly clean and pre-steamed with warm water can be processed with the machine. To make shaving easier, it is recommended to use an emollient gel, and after the procedure is completed, apply products containing herbal extracts (for example, aloe, calendula, chamomile, etc.) to the treated area.
In the summer, this procedure is recommended to be carried out several times a week, and in winter a little less often, but everything is determined strictly on an individual basis. To remove excess vegetation in the armpit area, you can use not only a razor, but also an electric shaver.
Hair removal under the armpits
The depilation procedure is the removal of excess vegetation on the body as a result of exposure to the outer part of the hair. However, the hair follicles remain intact.
This method has a temporary effect and unwanted hairs soon reappear in the armpit area. The result obtained can last from several days to three weeks.
The depilation procedure has certain contraindications, which include:
- the presence of various injuries on the surface of the treated skin;
- herpes in the acute stage;
- if there is an individual intolerance to individual components that make up the product used (severe allergy or irritation may occur);
- the presence of various cardiovascular or oncological diseases, diabetes mellitus.
Before the depilation procedure is carried out, it is necessary to do an allergy test - a small amount of the composition is applied to the skin on the inside of the elbow or the back of the wrist. If redness, rash, itching and burning do not appear, you can carry out the procedure itself to remove unwanted hair in the armpit area. Wax depilation
For depilation, wax will be used, which is preheated to a certain temperature. It should be borne in mind that this method is rather painful, but at the same time it helps to obtain a long-term effect. This procedure can be carried out not only independently at home, but also in beauty salons.
Today there are several types of waxing:
- Cold wax. Special wax strips are taken, which are slightly warmed up in the palms. After the active ingredient becomes softer, it is applied to the treated area, and after 5-7 minutes, the composition completely solidifies. Then, with one sharp movement, a strip is torn off the skin, on the inside of which all the hairs remain. This procedure is very painful and is therefore recommended for small areas.
- Hot wax … In this case, a special wax composition is used, which is preheated to 60 ° C. All actions must be performed carefully so as not to get burned. Hot wax effectively softens and steams the skin, so the armpit hair removal procedure will practically not cause discomfort.
- Warm wax. It is necessary to warm up the wax to a temperature of 40 ° C, after which it is applied to the treated area, and on top it is covered with a strip of thick paper or fabric. As soon as the composition has completely cooled down, these strips are removed with a sharp movement.
To enhance the effect of these procedures, it is recommended to use special cosmetics after depilation, which help to slow down hair growth. The treated areas are necessarily moistened with a decoction of medicinal herbs, but a special soothing gel can also be applied. To prevent future ingrown hairs from occurring, exfoliate the treated areas every 7 days.
Chemical depilation
The use of special depilatory creams allows you to quickly get rid of unwanted vegetation in the armpit area. In this case, the skin is pre-cleansed, after which a cream is applied to it and left for a certain period of time specified in the instructions. Then the remnants of the cream are removed using a special spatula, which should come with the cream.
It is worth remembering that the depilatory cream affects the outer part of the hair, while the hair follicles will not be affected. That is why, after a while, the hairs will appear again. Before using such creams, it is necessary to conduct a sensitivity test, since they contain aggressive chemical elements that can provoke a strong allergic reaction.
Shugaring
Every day it is becoming more and more popular way to remove unwanted vegetation from different parts of the body using sugar paste. This procedure is called shugaring and is completely safe and effective. The paste does not contain harmful chemical components, therefore, the likelihood of allergies is minimized.
To prepare caramelized pasta, you must use three natural remedies - water, lemon juice, granulated sugar. The resulting composition is applied directly to the skin and left for a while until it cools completely. Then the resulting film is removed with one sharp movement of the hands or using a strip of fabric, which must first be fixed on top of the mixture, after applying it to the skin.
This method of hair removal is painful, but more gentle than using wax. The main advantages of this method include not only long-term results, but also the absence of the risk of ingrown hairs.
Hair removal methods
Due to the rapid development of modern technologies, today there are quite a large number of different types of hair removal that will help get rid of armpit hair:
- Electric epilator. Thanks to the use of this technique, you can get a lasting effect that will last for several weeks, while the new hairs will be weaker and thinner. However, this procedure can be quite painful, which is why it is worth choosing modern models of electric epilators that minimize discomfort. The main disadvantage of this method is that there is a risk of ingrown hairs.
- Electrolysis. During this procedure, a special thin needle is inserted into the pores of the skin, through which an electric current is passed. The destruction of hair follicles occurs as a result of exposure to a low voltage pulse. With this method, only visible hair is treated, but those that are in the "awakening" stage will remain untreated and soon begin to grow. That is why several electrolysis procedures are performed.
- Photoepilation. As a result of exposure of the hair follicles to high-frequency light pulses, unwanted vegetation is removed. During the procedure, special equipment is used. Photoepilation is completely safe and does not cause any painful sensations. Provided that several sessions are carried out in an interval of one month, you can get rid of armpit hair for several years. This procedure has only one drawback - a rather high cost.
- Laser hair removal. To remove unwanted vegetation in the armpit area, a laser beam is applied to the hair matrix, resulting in the destruction and damage of the hair follicles. Already after the first procedure, a positive result will be noticeable, but to obtain a long-term effect, it will take 3-5 sessions. This method has certain contraindications, so you should consult your doctor before using it.
Regardless of which method of dealing with unwanted vegetation in the armpit area will be used, before starting to use it, it is worth studying all the available contraindications and side effects.
