You may experience a hair free period of between 1 to 3 days. So permanent hair removal? No!

Allergy Test: Spread hair removal cream on a small area in which to remove hair and let it sit in the specified time, appearing on the package. Scratch hair and wash skin thoroughly with water. If there is no allergic reaction after 24 hours, you can remove hair on the rest of the field.

Tips:

• Always read the directions that come with hair removal cream before you start
• Make an allergy test
• Spread cream in an even layer, so all hair is covered. This causes the cream to work more even
• If you are experiencing cold or sting, while you use it, you must immediately remove the cream with water. Consult a doctor if it does not disappear quickly again
• Never let the cream sit on for longer than described on the package (usually not longer than approx. 6 min), as this increases the risk of an allergic reaction
• Wash skin thoroughly after treatment and dry skin afterwards. If there are remnants of hair removal cream, it will continue to respond
• Hair Removal Cream is not suitable for use in the face, head, on the chest and genitals
• Do not use the cream on the birthmark, wounds, scratches, sunburn or irritated skin. You should also avoid using the cream if you shave you within 72 hours or have a negative reaction to hair removal cream
• If you suffer from a skin disease or take medicine that can affect the skin, you should talk to your doctor before you use hair removal cream
• It is not a good idea to use antiperspirants and perfumed products and to sunbathe 24 hours after use
• Remember that hair removal cream should be stored out of reach of children
• If you get the cream in your mouth or get it in your eyes, you should immediately consult a doctor and bring the packaging

Advantages:

• You let the cream do all the work for you
• You get less stubble than shaving
• It does not take much time
• You may experience hair free periods of up to 3 days

Disadvantages

• You may experience allergic reactions such as etching of the skin and prolonged allergy
• You should preferably do so in connection with a bath
• You should preferably avoid tanning for 24 hours after use
• It is not certain you can get the cream to work on all types of hair

As far as I know, there is no permanent hair remover just yet – but hair removal cream is easy to use, affordable and efficient.

Au contraire, Nair and Veet are effective at removing hair, I’ve tried both, but the downside to them is that they smell kind of funky when they touch your skin and the whole possibility of an allergic reaction.
Nair has this new cream hair remover that you put on and sponge off in the shower, you could try that…but make sure to test it on a small part of your body to make sure you don’t get an allergic reaction all over.
I hear waxing works well at removing hair for a long period of time, but if you don’t want to deal with the whole pain thing, then you probably shouldn’t go there.

After years of nightmare hair removal options, I finally decided to look into permanent hair removal options. My research led me to a consultation at Manhattan’s salon.
I found a website http://www.permanenthairremovalnow.com
There are many useful information to me. Thanks to them.
At my consultation I wasn’t expecting to go under the laser. In fact, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My technician, Michelle, was laid-back, confident and attentive. When I asked what the results would look like, she lifted her arm and showed me the most perfect hairless armpit I’d ever seen. Knowing I was
writing an article, she even showed me her bikini line. I was blown away with the possibility of never having to shave again.

Step 1: Paper panties
Technician leaves you with paper panties. I was given the paper panties then Michelle left. She came back in and I laid on the table in basically a splayed position (a bit uncomfortable, but then Michelle was so laid back and had showed me HER bikini line so what did I care?).

Step 2: Ice cold
Ice cold jelly-like goo is squeezed onto all the soon-to-be-lasered spots. The goo apparently protects skin and offers some sort of barrier from the heated light.

Step 3: The laser wand comes out
I had no idea what this looked like until I saw it. Lasers vary, but the one Michelle used on me reminded me of the part of your printer that you attach to your computer. The part that is closest to your skin is about 4 inches long and an inch wide (although they vary). Michelle gave me a pair of sunglasses.

Step 4: The procedure begins
Basically Michelle worked along my bikini line. I had asked about the pain and she said it would feel like a rubber band snapping the skin. She was right. The pain wasn’t unbearable at all, nothing like the searing pain of waxing. The laser pulses with light and you feel a ’snap.’ She moves along with each ‘zap.’

Step 5: Clean up
Once the lasering was over, Michelle scooped up the goo, I got dressed and that was it. No need for creams or lotions or potions. Michelle told me the hair would fall out within 2 weeks.

On my way out the door the woman at the reception desk told me I was going to love the results. I left happy and confident she was right. Then the waiting began.

Two weeks later, the hair was gone and a new hair cycle had just barely begun to grow in. Hair grows in cycles so you should get about 6 treatments to ensure you kill all the hair follicles. A month after my first treatment I went in for my second. Find out what happened in my 3rd installment of Diary of a Laser Hair Removal Guinea Pig.
