Technological advances have enabled mankind to experience many innovations that have enhanced the quality of life. But, here are two modern techniques that have proved to be a boon to ‘womenkind’. Facial hair removal has been a ‘pain’ point for women for a long time now and they have always been on the lookout for facial hair removal methods that are longer lasting. Modern techniques like electrolysis, laser treatment and IPL treatments have made facial hair removal for women, a longer lasting one and even permanent in some cases.

Electrolysis has been around for a few decades now and was one of the first modern day methods that has offered a permanent hair removal solution. This method of facial hair removal for women involves sending a tiny pulse of electricity directly to the root of a hair follicle. This is done through a tiny needle that penetrates the outer skin and reaches the root. This is a painful and laboriously tedious process but the end results are permanent. Often, multiple sessions of treatment are necessary but the end result is worth the time and money.

Another technique of facial hair removal for women is the laser treatment. This course of treatment also involves multiple sessions and is often quite painful. This facial hair removal method involves shooting a laser beam at the root of each hair and as a result the hair withers away and does not grow again. This method of facial hair removal is a long drawn out process and costly too. Every laser beam causes sharp pain akin to pin pricks and the person must undergo several such pricks, per session. There is also a possibility of skin tissue scarring caused by the laser beam, for some people, so, it is advisable to take a skin test before starting the treatment.

The third method is probably the least painful amongst all. This method of facial hair removal for women is called IPL treatment. It is quite similar to the laser treatment but instead of a laser beam an ‘Intense Pulsed Light’ is beamed at the root of the hair. A specially designed xenon flash lamp is used to beam this light. This treatment for facial hair removal produces the same results as the laser treatment. IPL is quite cheap when compared to laser and so, has become the most popular form of facial hair removal for women
