Alternative methods for removing unwanted vegetation
Popular hair removal methods include:

- depilation with wax or shugaring;
- the use of hydrogen peroxide;
- wax strips.
There are some rules to follow when using wax strips.
The first thing to do is wash off all makeup from your face, because after such a procedure, the skin recovers faster if it is clean. The second step is skin treatment with antiseptic compounds. This will make it possible to prevent various infections from entering the subcutaneous layers. It is also worth treating the skin with baby powders. After completing this preparation, you can proceed directly to the removal of hairs.
Recommendations for use are usually written on the packages, but if none are found, you need to perform the following steps.
- It is necessary to warm up the wax strip to about a temperature of 36-37 degrees. To do this, rub it between your palms or place it on a heating device.
- The prepared strip must be divided. Next, we glue the part of the strip where the wax is located on the body. It is important to remember that it is necessary to stick according to the growth of the hairs.
- After the strip has been glued to the body, you should wait a while and, holding the skin area with your finger, pull the strip with a sharp movement.
With the correct execution of all steps, the hairs are removed from one time.
In the event that this did not happen, it is necessary to carry out this procedure again, but then you should not be surprised at the appearance of irritation on the skin.
When using a depilatory cream when removing hair above the lip, it is worth knowing about its properties. The cream dissolves the hair follicles, thus relieving you of the problem. But before using the purchased gel or cream, you should make sure that you are not allergic to the components of the product. To do this, it is worth applying a small amount of the substance to the skin area and wait: if there is no burning or redness in this place, then this cream is suitable for you, and it can be applied to the problem area.
This process takes a minimum of time and is quite effective, but it is worth applying the cream only to the problem area.
You can remove hairs without causing yourself any discomfort and without experiencing pain. This is perfect for this option with hydrogen peroxide, but it is worth purchasing a 6% solution, as well as stocking up with ammonia. The principle of action in this case is not to remove the hairline, but to lighten it. To prepare the solution, mix 1 teaspoon of peroxide solution with 5 drops of ammonia and distribute to the length of the mustache that bothers you. Keep this composition on the skin for about a minute, and then just rinse off with water.
It is worth remembering that after each application of the composition, the skin should be wiped with water with the addition of lemon juice, and then it is advisable to apply a cream of sufficient fat content. It will also help relieve redness and soothe the inflamed skin area.
Professional hair removal methods
Hair removal with wax and sugaring can be done not only at home, but also in professional salons. In addition to these methods, salons offer the following methods for getting rid of vegetation:

Before signing up for any of the procedures, it is worth going for a consultation with a specialist, since these procedures have an intense effect on the skin. You should also familiarize yourself with the side effects and follow the rules of skin care after taking with a specialist.
These procedures are recommended to be performed in winter or late autumn, so that the sun is not so active.
Laser hair removal is the following: under the action of a laser beam, which penetrates about 5 mm under the skin, the hair in the follicle burns out, and the root is, as it were, sealed, which leads to the prevention of further hair growth. An anesthetic is applied to the area from which unnecessary vegetation is to be removed. After the agent has begun to act, laser treatment begins directly. After that, the skin is treated with a healing cream.
With a normal hormonal course, 7 to 10 such procedures are needed to completely get rid of the problem.
The procedure has a number of contraindications, namely:

- avoid being in the sun for 2 weeks;
- use healing agents;
- avoiding physical activity that increases sweating.
During electrolysis, the follicle is destroyed by the action of an electrical impulse on it.The principle of operation of photoepilation is as follows: pulsed light is absorbed by melanin, and there is a process of converting it into heat, under the influence of which the destruction of the follicle occurs.
