Hair Loss : Depilation: Depilatory Hair Removal

Depilatory Hair Removal



Depilation refers to the process of removing visible hair above the skin.

Unlike other temporary hair removal options like waxing and sugaring, depilation does not take the hair out by the root so the hair removal lasts a few days at best. In this regard, it is a very short term method of hair removal.

Popular methods of depilation include shaving and the use of chemical depilatory creams or lotions that are applied directly to the unwanted hair and are then rubbed or rinsed off after a period of time resulting in the hair being removed above the skin.

Because it can refer to various methods of hair removal (ie. shaving, use of depilatory products like creams or lotions) discussing the benefits and considerations under one umbrella is difficult since various depilatories offer different pros and cons.

In general terms, depilation tends to be a cheap method of removing hair temporarily but is one that needs to be done regularly to achieve hair removal since the hair tends to grow back quickly.

If you choose to use chemical depilatory creams or lotions, you might find the smell of some products overpowering and may find that they irritate your skin. You also have to be careful when applying chemical depilatories to ensure you only remove hair that is meant to be removed!

When it comes to shaving depilation, you have several options at your disposal including manual blade razors and electric shavers. Both manual blades and electric shavers are technologies that are being improved all the time so you're best to evaluate your options and determine what works best for you and your skin rather than simply relying on the opinion of others.

Temporary and permanent hair removal technology is evolving constantly and is relevant to both men and women who want to remove unwanted hair.
