Epilation of upper lip

Where does the hair come from above the upper lip? Why do some of these "antennae" do not (or they are light and invisible), and someone they are pronounced? The appearance of hair over the upper lip can affect several factors:

• 
  heredity (often "tendrils" appear in women with an eastern type of appearance): active hair growth usually begins during puberty;
• 
  problems with the endocrine system, hormonal disorders in the body;
• 
  reception of hormonal preparations.

Most often, the influence of these factors can not be eliminated(against heredity can not trample, and to cancel hormonal preparations because of the appearance of "antennae" the doctor is unlikely to be), and get rid of unwanted hair to help women depilation and epilation of the upper lip.

Depilation is the removal of the visible part of the hair,protruding above the skin. Shaving is also referred to as shaving, but it is unlikely that someone will come to mind to shave off the hair over the upper lip. Therefore depilation of the upper lip is done using wax, resin or burnt sugar (wax depilation or shugaring).

The principle of such depilation you probably know. On the upper lip area in the direction of hair growth, apply a warm wax or a special mixture based on natural resin. The wax or resin is allowed to harden a little, after which it is torn off with one sharp movement against the growth of the hair.

This procedure painful enough. You probably waxed wax at least oncelegs, and now multiply the pain by three - the skin over the upper lip is very tender. In addition, despite the fact that its effect is quite long, it will have to be repeated after a while. Therefore, many women prefer epilation of the upper lip.

During hair removal, the hair follicle breaks down, which means that the new hair will not grow in this place. Exist two main types of epilation of the upper lip - laser and photoepilation.

Laser epilation of the upper lip is based on the damaging effect of the laserray to each individual hair. The procedure itself takes 5-10 minutes, but to completely remove the "antennae" over the upper lip, you will need to perform a cycle of 3-5 procedures (their number depends on the density and stiffness of the hair).

This procedure is very effective, painless and safe, does not require a recovery period. However, after the procedure there may be slight redness, but after 2-3 hours it should pass.

The best result can be achieved if you havelight skin and dark hair. But with very light or gray hair, laser hair removal will be ineffective. Well, its most significant drawback is high price.

The second common method of epilation is photoepilation, more precisely, its subspecies - ELOS (elos) hair removal upper lip. This method is based on the simultaneous action of two types of radiation: light and radio frequency.

pros This procedure - its effectiveness, versatility (suitable for removing any type of hair, including hormonal and light gun), safety. TO cons can be attributed to the long duration of the procedure (10-30 minutes) and the entire course (5-10 sessions with a break of 2-3 weeks) compared with laser hair removal.

To avoid side effects after the procedure of epilation within 24 hours afterYou can not visit the solarium, saunas and baths. Epilated skin above the upper lip should be protected from the sun, so do not forget to use moisturizing sunscreen.
