What's the best way for a woman to remove unwanted facial hair?

There are several means by which you can get rid of unwanted facial hair. Some are expensive, some are fairly non-expensive. ALL take time and require multiple treatments.

Waxing

Removing hair with wax is extremely effective. It pulls out large sections of hair at a time, leaving behind velvety-smooth skin. Waxing is also a long-lasting hair removal treatment, lasting about two to eight weeks. Repeated waxings may also reduce the amount of hair in an area permanently.

One major drawback of waxing is pain. Waxing can be painful, especially on those that have sensitive skin. Waxing can irritate sensitive skin and should not be used on skin that is chapped, sunburned or otherwise weakened. In order for waxes to work, hair must be at least 1/8 inch long. If you choose this method, you can try AVON's Hair Removal Microwave Wax Kit for Face and Body.

Tweezing

Tweezing is very inexpensive with most tweezers costing from about $2 for a decent pair to $40 for the very best professional models. It can also be done easily at home and is extremely precise, removing only the exact hairs chosen. Results are long-lasting, lasting anywhere from three to eight weeks.

However, tweezing can be very painful, particularly tweezing hairs from the face. Tweezing is also very slow, since it involves pulling hairs out one-by-one. It also carries with it the risk of inflaming the hair follicles and perhaps causing infections and ingrown hairs. For this reason, most use tweezers only in small areas, such as the eyebrows.

Depilatories

Depilatory creams, roll-ons, aerosols, and lotions contain chemicals that dissolve hair and separate it from the skin. After leaving the depilatory on for the specified amount of time, users can simply wipe hair away like dissolved dirt.

Depilatory products are readily available; they can be purchased for about $5-10 in any drugstore. They're also relatively easy to use. Most products come in cream or lotion form that must be smoothed onto skin. Results generally last a bit longer than shaving, ranging from about seven to ten days.

Depilatories can cause skin irritation or chemical burns for those with sensitive skin, allergies, or those who leave the product on too long. They can also be difficult to apply smoothly and evenly and users sometimes complain that they can't sit down or put on clothing while their body is covered with the depilatory product. Nonetheless, for some who can't tolerate shaving and can not afford waxing, depilatories are an inexpensive, easy, at-home option. If you choose this route, try AVON's Facial Hair Remover Cream.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis involves inserting a very fine needle into a hair follicle and sending an electric current into the needle. This damages the hair follicle and hampers its ability to produce more hairs.

Electrolysis permanently reduces hair on the body and face and the results are very long-lasting, anywhere from months to years to forever depending on how much hair was removed and what area of the body it was removed from.

Electrolysis, however, is very expensive. The estimated cost of a course of electrolysis treatments ranges from about $1,000 to $5,000, varying of course with how much hair is removed and in what area. Electrolysis also requires multiple sessions to remove hair completely in an area, and it can be painful. Electrolysis also carries with it a slight risk of scarring and infections from inflamed follicles and ingrown hairs.

Electrolysis should only be performed by a qualified professional. At-home electrolysis kits can be dangerous, painful, and leave scarring.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a process that uses a very narrow beam of concentrated light. Turned on the skin section-by-section, laser beams send a burst of light energy into hairs, destroying hair follicles in much the same way as electrolysis and preventing hair from growing back.

Lasers are much less painful and faster than electrolysis and results are about the same, with permanent reduction in hair and minimal regrowth over a period of months and years. Hair that regrows is very thin and fine.

Laser hair removal requires multiple treatments. Large areas of skin, such as the back or legs, require more visits and naturally, cost more. Laser treatment costs are approximately in line with electrolysis, with each session costing about $500 and total costs ranging from about $1,000 up to $5,000 or even more if large areas of the body are targeted. Like electrolysis, laser treatments should only be performed by a professional.

Laser treatments work best on those with light skin and dark hair, which absorbs more energy from the laser beam and is thus easier to destroy. Laser treatments are not recommended for those with blonde or red hair or those with dark or tanned skin as the laser may damage the skin. Laser treatments will not work on deeply embedded hairs such as underarm or bikini line hairs.
