hair removal guide: arms

If you're constantly arm wrestling with hair winning, here are some tips on how to combat from the completely bare specialists.

MEDIUM COLOR AND MEDIUM TEXTURE ARM HAIR:

Shaving

Upside:

  • Immediate results
  • Inexpensive
  • Easy at-home treatment

Downside:

  • Grows back quickly
  • Most likely ingrowns will occur

Tips:

  • Manually exfoliate before shaving
  • Use a new razor with three or more blades to cut down on the amount of strokes on the face that could lead to irritation
  • Shave in the opposite direction of the hair growth

Waxing

Upside:

  • Results last longer than shaving
  • Skin is smoother and the hair appears finer because it grows in at all different stages
  • Waxing also exfoliates the skin

Downside:

  • Waiting for hair to grow back. If you are affected day-to-day by unsightly hair you may opt for laser hair removal where you can shave in between sessions, unlike with waxing
  • May cause ingrowns, which may be unsightly

Be Careful...

Be sure that you are not taking any retinoid medications or accutane prior to waxing or laser. If you are not sure whether the medication you are taking contains retin-A or other ingredients, call us and a completely bare specialist will be happy to assist.

Laser

Upside:

  • Permanent hair reduction in several short sessions
  • Less painful than waxing
  • No more ingrowns
  • After each treatment, you will see hair become finer and sparser

Downside:

  • Laser costs more than waxing and shaving, BUT in the long run you will save money because if you choose to get laser hair removal you will only have to do it for a couple of years. If you choose waxing or shaving, you will have to keep that maintenance up for the rest of your life.

Be Careful...

Be sure that you are not taking any retinoid medications or accutane prior to waxing or laser. If you are not sure whether the medication you are taking contains retin-A or other ingredients, call us up and a completely bare specialist will be happy to assist.
