What Type of Hair Removal Is Best?

Today, there are many methods for removing unwanted body hair:
  • Razor;
  • Electric epilator;
  • Depilatory cream;
  • Sugaring or caramel waxing;
  • Waxing;
  • Thermolysis;
  • Galvanic electrolysis;
  • Photoepilation.
These methods differ in how they work and how long the results last. Shaving and depilatory creams remove the visible part of the hair, while waxing, sugaring and epilators remove the hair from the root. Electrolysis and light-based methods target structures associated with hair growth. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles and can provide a long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair. A course of treatments can provide a reduction of up to 90% of unwanted hair, although results depend on individual characteristics.
Here is a comparison table to help you understand and compare the key characteristics of different methods.

Laser hair removal is one of the methods used for long-term reduction of unwanted hair. A course of treatments is usually required for noticeable results because the laser is most effective on hairs in the active growth phase. Diode and Alexandrite laser systems differ in wavelength, operating parameters and application. The appropriate option is selected based on skin phototype, hair color and hair characteristics.
Candela Alexandrite Laser

This is an Alexandrite laser system widely used for laser hair removal. Its operating speed, pulse duration and range of settings allow treatment parameters to be selected for the specific area and individual skin and hair characteristics.

At our clinic, we use the Candela GentleLase system manufactured by the American company Candela.
