There are many methods for dealing with Upper Lip Hair Removal. As a woman or teenage girl, the unsightly hair that begins to grow on the upper lip from early adolescence can be a source of embarrassment and ridicule. Today we explore both temporary and permanent treatment options for upper lip hair removal.
Shaving and Hair Removal Creams and Gels.
This is the biggest mistake many women make in managing upper lip hair. You should never shave or use hair removal cream and gels to deal with unwanted hair that grows above your upper lip. Shaving and using creams removes the hair from skin surface and can actually thicken the growth.
Facial hair is different to other hair on the body and reacts differently when removed at the skin surface. Young men who begin to shave their facial hair in mid to late teenage years notice it thickening of the hair growth over a few months and this is quite acceptable for men, however a prickly upper lip is not a desirable trait for a woman.
Some women will try this and even try shaving off the soft downy hair that grows around the jawline. This can be a huge mistake over time and very costly to reverse. The only way to reverse the damage and the thickening hair is to book several permanent hair removal treatments. You would be required to have several professional electrolysis appointments or laser hair removal treatments to permanently remove the now thicker unwanted hair on your upper lip and jawline.
Using Tweezers – Methods and Tips.
Tried, true and trusted tweezers. Using tweezers has been a popular temporary hair removal method successfully used for many, many years. The important thing to remember about using tweezers is to pull the skin taught or pull the skin tight by use of the facial muscles before trying to pluck.
A favourite technique for upper lip hair removal is to use your tongue, placing it over the teeth pressing outwards, keeping the lips closed. This technique helps to stretch the skin to pluck the hairs away. The reason why you need to pull the skin tight is because it helps to open the pores which make the whole plucking process much less painful.
Other ways to reduce the pain is by applying a warm heat pack or warm face cloth prior to plucking as it can help open the pores making the plucking process much less painful.
Tweezers can be used anytime you notice a hair, are safe and easy to use. For best results use the tweezer to grasp the hair close to the skin surface and gently pull out in the direction of the hair growth. The first time it can hurt a little, but regular tweezering reduces the pain by learning the effective methods listed above.
Tweezers is a cheap and effective way to manage upper lip hair removal. It does only last until the hair regrows and for longer lasting hair removal try waxing.
Waxing for Upper Lip Hair Removal.
This method can be done by either attending a salon or by doing it yourself. For first time upper lip waxers it is recommended to attend a salon appointment to learn what to expect and get the basics of technique. Once you have attended a couple of times you should be fairly confident to try this yourself at home.
The best products on the market to use at home offer small waxing strips that you can apply cold to the skin, rub a few times in the direction of the hair growth and then remove in a fast action against the hair growth. Waxing strips specifically for facial areas can be purchased in some supermarkets, drug stores and pharmacies.
How does it feel? In truth, it does hurt a little bit. It is best to hold the skin taught when applying an removing the waxing strip. This again helps to keep the skin pores open to lessen the pain. If you experience redness or stinging immediately after removing the waxing strip then apply a cold compress (face cloth soaked in cold water) and apply directly to the affected area.
Waxing usually offers smooth results for 2-4 weeks and is ideal for those who want a fast, effective method for longer lasting temporary hair removal. Don’t worry if the first time you attempt upper lip waxing it is not that successful, you will improve your technique with practice.
Permanent Upper Lip Hair Removal.
Permanent hair removal options include both electrolysis and laser hair removal options. It can be expensive option costing $60 to $200 per professional appointment. Most permanent hair removal treatment will require you to attend a minimum of three times and possibly up to a dozen times to treat the area effectively.
There are at home lasers and electrolysis units now available however, as they are certified safe for home use they are generally not as strong as professional equipment and repeated treatments over many months may be required to gain desired results. Patience and persistence is the key.
