Body Hair Removal

Plastic Surgery body hair removal  Procedure Animation

Body hair removal could be done in two ways. One is known as epilation and the other is known as depilation. In the process of epilation, the entire hair on the skin is removed, included the part that lies below the skin. This is a long lasting procedure. Epilation is done through procedures like waxing, epilation devices, threading, sugaring, lasers, electrology, and intense pulsed light. Hair could also be removed by plucking it with tweezers but it could be a painful process.

On the other hand, depilation would remove the hair only above the outer surface of the skin. Normally, shaving is done to achieve this. However, this could also be achieved by using chemical depilatories. These chemicals break the disulfide bonds linking the protein chains, which give the hair its strength. The hair would get disintegrated by the use of such chemicals. However, the use of such chemicals might not suit all persons, since they could produce allergic side effects in many people.

Body hair removal is an individual decision. Many men like to have a clean shaven face but do not remove hair from the other parts in the body. The hairstyle would also vary from person to person. Several men keep mustaches of various types and styles, some short and some very long or thick. Normally, women do not have hair growth on their face due to the special hormones in their body. However, some of them might have hair growth in the mustache area or in the chin. They would need to remove this hair growth either by epilation or by depilation. Hair removal by laser removal is the safest method for such women. When people become bald due to age or other reasons, they try to wear wigs or resort to hair replant processes to have a younger look. As such, the cosmetic treatment of body hair removal depends on the outlook of each individual.

body hair removal - News update:
According to a report by the Telegraph, research conducted by the Food Commission has found that food additives thought to increase hyperactivity in susceptible children are still being used in some paediatric medicines. The researchers used the Electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC) to look at the excipients of five different types of medicines commonly prescribed for children – paracetamol, ibuprofen, amoxicillin, erythromycin, and linctus. A total of 70 preparations were surveyed, and the researchers found that 28 of these contained at least one of the following additives: E102 Tartrazine, E104 Quinoline Yellow; E110 Sunset Yellow; E122 Carmoisine; E124 Ponceau 4R; E129 Allura Red; E211 Sodium Benzoate. Of these, 16 products were licensed for use in children under the age of three. The seven additives listed above were linked to increased hyperactivity in susceptible children by research carried out in the UK, known as the ‘Southampton Study’. A spokesperson for the MHRA stated that the Agency was not aware of reports of any adverse side effects to medicines attributed to these additives.
