Body hair removal for Females

Facial hair

• Electrolysis: effective for small areas of sparse facial hair. It is recommended that this treatment is performed by a skilled professional to minimise the risk of facial scarring.
• Laser: good for removing dark hairs if light skinned from all parts of the body. Take care to select a reputable professional, as a laser hair removal treatment can result in scarring of the woman's face.
• Creams: can be effective at removing ladies' facial hair. There are many creams on the market so make sure you choose the right cream.
• Oral medication: can be effective for females with high levels for androgens, e.g. testosterone.
• Tweezing: effective for a small amount of facial hairs. This method is often used to shape women's eyebrows or pluck the odd stray hair.
• Threading: an old technique used by women throughout Asia. Becoming increasingly popular and is ideal for shaping eyebrows or pulling out stray hairs.

Bikini area

• Electrolysis: effective but can be painful for female bikini lines. Has the advantage that this treatment can be permanent and therefore may only be required once or twice.
• Laser: hair removal by laser can give permanent results. Not suitable for women with light hair and suntanned skin, as the laser light will be absorbed by the skin.
• Shaving - Electric , Razor: the most common and effective method for removing hairs around the bikini area. The downside is that regrowth can be irritating, and can cause small red lumps or a rash to appear on this part of the body.
• Waxing: can be painful but effective for the hairs around the bikini area. Waxing the female pubic hair region is more commonly known as a Brazilian Wax. The result of this treatment is either total or near-total hair removal.

Legs

• Flashlamp: treatment works similarly to lasers but, because the light beam is larger, it is faster at treating ladies legs.
• Laser: good for removing dark hairs if the woman is pale skinned. May require many treatments to eradicate the hairs on such a large area as the legs.
• Cream: common and effective way for removing leg hairs. Some creams are harsher than others, so take care if removing hairs from sensitive areas, such as the upper and inner thighs.
• Rotary epilator: effective but painful. The leg hair must first be long to be grasped by the device for it to be effective.
• Shaving - Electric , Razor: the most common method for short term hair removal. Buy the best quality ladies razor so you can to reduce the number of skin abrasions.
• Waxing: leg waxing is a common and effective way for removing hairs for women. This method is rather painful and messy to clean up. Some females have reported having an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in the wax.

Arms

• Laser: to remove arm hair by laser will be quite expensive due to the fairly large area involved, but the results are likely to be permanent.
• Rotary epilator: effective if you have the right type of hair. If the hairs are too fine then the device will not grasp them firmly. If the hairs are too course it could be very painful.
• Waxing: common and effective way for removing hairs but can be fairly painful for a woman. Quicker and less painful if a skilled professional performs this treatment.
