And as Tarmey points out, you are constantly chasing your tail with waxing as you have to allow enough re-growth to continue. This is a popular choice among our experts, but interestingly not so much anecdotally amongst friends and clients.
I think this is probably due to the fact that the majority of threading chairs are slap-bang in the middle of busy nail bars and beauty salons. No thanks. I really don't want my tache yanked in full-view; and if your skin reddens with threading then there's the walk of shame home to deal with too.
However Dr Bunting believes threading is the quickest and safest method amongst the short-term options, and ideal for those who are prone to hyperpigmentation and anyone using retinoids waxing can sometimes actually pull fragile skin away leaving a red raw patch. It also wins over waxing when it comes to the precision it offers. Thankfully the experts at Blink have private rooms at their Selfridges and Fenwick locations, so fingers crossed others will start to follow suit.
As Jaimineey Patel — head therapist at Blink — points out, threading, unlike other hair-removal methods, doesn't require a specific hair type to be effective, and it can reach even the tiniest of hairs. It's sadly not going to be pain-free however, and she recommends having your eyebrows threaded first to test your pain threshold. Dr Vicky Dondos was the first to alert me to dermaplaning.
While not a method she offers at her Medicetics clinic , Dr Dondos is one of the most well researched and up-to-speed aesthetic doctors I know, so when she told me it was the best technique she knew of for removing fine facial fuzz I had to know more. Officially an exfoliation treatment, dermaplaning uses a very fine surgical blade to remove dead skin cells. It just so happens that it removes fine hairs in the process. In effect, you are shaving the face, but as Dr Dondos points out "if the blade is used at the correct angle you can prevent any corse regrowth.
Plucking hairs with tweezers in your bathroom mirror is a short-term, single-hair solution and is never effective for multiple soft downy hairs. Tweezing can damage your skin and irritate the hair follicles in the same way waxing can. For emergencies only. It might be a bit Eighties, but lots of us are still turning to these stinky little tubes at home.
Our experts give you their cautious blessing. Dr Bunting points out that depilatory creams generally contain a form of thioglycolate, a chemical found in perming solutions, and can trigger irritant dermatitis; natural they are not. But she does concede that creams are a good option for anyone troubled by ingrown hairs as dissolving the hair means you don't get sharp ends. Personally, I think we're still using depilatory creams because of the privacy and convenience they afford.
The key to successful threading is to get this treatment from a professional. This may reduce your risk of side effects, such as:.
While dermaplaning itself has long been used to treat acne scars, the treatment is now advocated by some skin care clinics as a way to help remove peach fuzz and exfoliate your skin.
The process works with a small scalpel to methodically shave off vellus hairs. Dermaplaning is considered safe for all skin types when done by a professional. The process works by heating up follicles so that they temporarily stop growing hairs. Laser hair removal comes at a higher cost and is only done by a professional. You may also consider whether potential side effects are worth the longer-lasting effects.
Like laser therapy, electrolysis is a more long-term solution to hair removal, and is only performed by licensed professionals. Unlike laser treatments, though, electrolysis aims to destroy hair roots with electrical currents. Electrolysis is typically the most expensive option and requires numerous treatments.
These contain different strengths of chemicals. Body depilatory should not be used on the face. If you already have a body depilatory but want the same results for peach fuzz, you must buy a depilatory specifically made for your face. While you can technically shave any part of your body , shaving with water and a razor is best reserved for legs, arms, and other areas with tougher skin. For peach fuzz, it may be better to shave with a smaller electric razor, to decrease your risk of cuts on this sensitive area of your face.
Not only are the hairs too fine for a typical pair of tweezers to latch on to, but the process will also be too time-consuming.
While bleaching facial hair might seem like a good idea, this method can do more harm than good. In fact, professional bleaching solutions are sometimes used by doctors to help correct hyperpigmentation dark spots. If you use a bleaching kit on your face for peach fuzz, you might accidentally lighten your skin tone instead.
This effect may be even more noticeable in those with darker skin tones. Peach fuzz will not grow back thicker when you remove it. As with other types of hair , you may notice a thicker-feel to peach fuzz as it grows back.
Just like with other types of facial and body hair, you have a variety of options to remove peach fuzz. While these options include conventional shaving or waxing, you may also speak with a dermatologist about other methods.
When it cools, the wax will harden and be gently ripped off. The specialist will then help soothe the waxed skin with either a lotion or oil. Petak says waxing causes minimal irritation if done by a licensed professional and that the pain depends on your level of discomfort though, it does get easier the more often you do it.
She recommends not shaving for at least two weeks prior to your appointment. Aftercare involves avoiding certain activities like swimming or working out and using harsh scrubs to avoid skin irritation. While you could wax at home with at-home waxing kits, Petak warns that the margin for error increases and you might be setting yourself up for ingrown hairs, breakage, and skin irritation. Similar to waxing, sugaring is a method of hair removal that uses a paste—which is made of lemon, water, and sugar—that is heated to a taffy-like consistency to remove body hair from the root.
Courtney Rashidi, a licensed esthetician at Perfect Image , explains that there are two main differences between the two. First, wax is usually applied in the direction of hair growth and then removed in the opposite direction, whereas sugaring involves putting the substance in the opposite direction of hair growth and removed in the same direction the way hair grows.
Safe for most skin types, sugaring is considered a gentler version of waxing, though one might experience some redness, irritation, or itching. Those with sensitive skin may get bumps or rashes. She recommends to exfoliate and moisturize skin a few days before your sugaring appointment so that the sugar can properly remove the hair root. Try to relax, too: experts say the tenser you are during the process, the more painful it can be. Aftercare includes avoiding exercise, scented lotions, or heat for 24 hours to prevent irritation.
You can expect results to last up to around three weeks before hair starts to grow back. Threading is an ancient eyebrow hair removal technique that involves using threads to quickly pull and remove hair.
Two long threads are twisted in unison to pluck hair out with a quicker movement than tweezing. Rashidi says threading is ideal for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin because the swiftness of the threads moving along the skin lessens the chance of irritation and ingrown hairs.
Before your appointment, she recommends exfoliating skin to remove dead cells. Another benefit of threading is the precision. Unlike with waxing, threading can actually grab onto even the shortest of hair follicles to give you a seamless and clean look. Results from threading can last up to four weeks. Dermaplaning is a facial treatment that shaves off the top layer of dead skin and peach fuzz to smooth and brighten the face.
It can be done in-spa by a licensed esthetician with a surgical scalpel or at-home with a dermaplaning device. Dara Levy, founder of Dermaflash, says doing it at home takes less than ten minutes.
