All about hair removal and depilation of eyebrows

Taking care of their beauty and appearance, many young people visit beauty salons and undergo various cosmetic procedures. One of the most popular procedures is facial hair removal, in particular, eyebrow hair removal or depilation. In our material, we will take a closer look at the differences between depilation and epilation, ways to remove unwanted hair from the face, as well as the rules for skin care after such a procedure.

In order to permanently remove hair from the brow area (for both men and women), you can use several methods, namely: epilation and depilation. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as unique characteristics. That's why you need to carefully evaluate all the features of hair removal and depilation of eyebrows, and also consider the differences between these procedures before heading to a beauty salon.

Epilation is a hair removal procedure. Moreover, during epilation, not only the upper part of the hair is removed, but also its root. Thus, With regular hair removal procedures, you have the opportunity to get rid of unwanted body hair for a long time or even permanently.

Despite the fact that during the procedure, the hair follicle itself is removed, this does not harm the general health of a person. Today, professional beauty salons offer several methods of hair removal, for example, photoepilation with a flash lamp, laser hair removal, electrolysis, etc.

Compared to epilation, depilation is a less effective method of hair removal, since during the procedure, only that part of the hair that is on the surface of the skin is removed. Wherein the hair root is not affected, therefore, the new hair grows rather quickly. As with hair removal, there are several ways to wax. The most common and widely used method at home is shaving. Despite the fact that depilation is not very effective, it is often a preparatory stage before epilation.

Accordingly, before removing hair as part of an epilation procedure in a professional beauty salon, you will have to carry out the depilation procedure at home. Regardless of which method you consider the most preferable, it is imperative to consult a medical specialist before the procedure. This is necessary because there are a number of contraindications for both procedures. In some cases, such interventions can cause serious harm to health. In this regard, one should be as careful and careful as possible.

Due to the fact that eyebrow hair removal is a fairly popular aesthetic and cosmetic procedure, today there are a large number of ways to carry it out not only in beauty salons, but also at home. Let's take a look at some of them.

Eyebrow shaping with tweezers is a fairly popular method that is used by the vast majority of people who care about their appearance. If you are still not familiar with this method, we recommend that you read the following instructions.

• First you need to decide what shape of eyebrows attracts you, and which one will be most suitable for your face shape and type of appearance.
• Next, you can apply a cream to the eyebrow area: this will simplify, speed up and make the procedure less painful.
• After that, you can start removing hairs. Experts recommend starting from the lower border of the eyebrow. It is important to note that you will observe slight redness and inflammation on the skin - such a reaction is completely normal.
• In order to eliminate all unwanted consequences, you can use a variety of cooling creams and gels.

If we talk about the general features of this method of removing hairs from the eyebrow area, then it should be noted that this method is relatively simple, and is also budgetary. Eyebrow correction with tweezers is available to almost everyone. At the same time, you do not have to contact beauty salons, since the procedure can be done by hand at home.

Waxing is a method of removing unwanted hair by means of wax (wax - "wax" in translation from English). This method is actively used if there is a need to correct the shape of the eyebrows, as well as to remove short hairs that the tweezers cannot catch. If you are interested in waxing, then you need to remember that after 6 procedures you will be able to remove unwanted hairs forever.

The duration of the waxing procedure is relatively short - about 20 minutes. In this case, hot or warm wax is used as the main material, which is applied to the hairs, fixed, waiting for the material to solidify, and then ripped off. After the procedure, there may be a slight swelling in the eyebrow area.

To carry out eyebrow correction in this way, you should prepare a cotton thread in advance. On such a thread, you need to make several loops, with the help of which the hairs will be captured. The significant positive characteristics of this procedure include the duration of the effect (about a month), as well as the absence of injuries and complications. It should be borne in mind that to carry out such a procedure, you will need a fairly high level of skill.

Removing unwanted hair with a laser is the most popular eyebrow shaping method, which we discussed earlier. Moreover, it is available only in a beauty salon. Before starting this procedure, a specialist will necessarily conduct a preliminary consultation with you in order to identify your individual characteristics, as well as the presence (or absence) of contraindications.

After eyebrow shaping, it is very important to follow some grooming rules. They may differ depending on the method of hair removal and individual characteristics.

The standard instruction looks like this:

• do not expose the treated skin area to direct sunlight (especially important in the case of laser hair removal - this rule will protect you from the appearance of age spots);
• it is not recommended to use cosmetics for several days;
• if necessary, use cooling and healing products;
• if you prefer laser hair removal, then you cannot resort to other methods of hair removal between procedures;
• in case of complications, it is imperative to consult a doctor.
