When you have sensitive skin, hair removal can be a daunting task. You kind of don't know what you're going to get - your body may be fine, or it may have a very strong negative reaction. But it's not always a complete guessing game. Certain hair removal methods may cause more or less irritation, and it's important to know what those are, so which hair removal method is best to choose?
There are several hair removal methods you can perform at home, including

Adding sugar

When sugar is added, the hair is removed so you can be hair-free for weeks on your face or body. Made from all natural ingredients, there may be less chance of irritating your skin than the artificial ingredients in wax. However, you should tell your technician if you have any allergies. With the paste method you can remove hair as short as 1/16th of the length, you don't have to wait for 1/4th of the hair length like with waxing. And because the paste is removed in the direction of hair growth, it pulls on the skin the least, which means less pain and irritation.

Shaving

Using a razor is a common and simple method of hair removal, and the one most people grow up using. For people with sensitive skin, it can definitely have nasty side effects, but it definitely doesn't end in disaster. Often, the problem with shaving is not the method. Instead, it's about using the wrong products and tools. You want to use a razor with a built-in moisturizer and use shaving cream, and if you already use it, check the ingredients in the shaving cream. Other times, allergies to common ingredients in shaving products may be the culprit. Finding the cause is key.
Lasers/IPL Hair Removal Lasers

Lasers use pulsed light to disable the hair follicle by targeting the pigment. Often, you will feel some heat and snapping of the skin, and sensitive skin can sometimes become too red or swollen. It is important to perform a patch test to see how your skin reacts. If you are having it done professionally, let them know your skin is sensitive before starting the process. 808 Semiconductor Hair Removal Laser is a new high performance ultra-long pulse width sapphire laser that uses a gold standard laser with a wavelength of 808nm. This excellent wavelength can effectively penetrate to the depth of the target target tissue (hair papilla), and through the appropriate pulse duration, the right amount of energy, pulse width The output of this wavelength can produce sufficient damage to the target tissue (hair papilla), while the surrounding tissue (epidermal tissue) is almost unaffected, thus ensuring the safety of the treatment. At the same time, the heating pulse of 808 semiconductor hair removal laser heats up the hair to 75℃ and maintains it for a period of time (10Hz) by sliding the handpiece, then the hair follicle's growth stem cells lose their growth activity, thus achieving the effect of medical standard hair removal. Most professional clinics use a gel to protect the skin during the treatment, which also helps to cool the skin. Gels or sedation products used during or after the treatment are usually sold by Xuzhou CubeSense Photoelectric Equipment Co.

Waxing

If you wax your sensitive skin, it may cause redness, peeling and crusting. Therefore, there are some cases where you should not wax at all, thus causing skin sensitivity. In other cases, you should only avoid a certain area. Many times, the thing that causes a lot of redness, a lot of pain or bruising is the wrong type of wax. This could be because it has a problem with the hair or the area, or it is a poor quality wax. Other problems with waxing may be due to the technician not preparing the skin properly or removing the wax in the wrong way.

Threading

Threading is unique because it uses threads to pull the hair out from the roots. It does not use any chemicals or heat, so there is no need to worry about product allergies or burns. In general, it is gentle on the skin and the technique is excellent. Although people sometimes experience bumps and redness, it usually doesn't last that long. However, the downside to threading is that it is usually done only on facial hair and not anywhere else. Want to do something at home? While they don't use strings, coil epilators can remove hair manually without the use of chemicals. However, they are only used on the face and should not be used on the eyebrows.

Electrolysis

If you have very sensitive skin, hair removal can be a source of fear and anxiety. Permanently removing all or most of your hair can bring great relief. Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. It uses electrical currents and is suitable for all skin tones and hair colors. Three different modalities are used in electrolysis. Discomfort, potential side effects and results are highly dependent on which medication is used ...... and the skill of the electrologist. It can be a bit painful, which is why prescription topical anesthetics are often recommended.

Do not use depilatories

Depilatories are one of the most harsh methods of hair removal because they use powerful chemicals to break down the hair in order to wipe it off. Depilatories are terrible for sensitive skin. They are known to cause skin burns, redness, peeling and crusting. Depilatories don't produce sharp tips like shaving, but their effects last almost a day or two. If a skin care product irritates your skin, it's not worth choosing if you encounter this type of situation, regardless of the brand.
