Height hair above the upper lip presents a problem for many women. Especially if they are visible to others.
Why does hair grow over the upper lip?
Surely you know that absolutely everyone has antennae. Initially, women have vellus hair, invisible to the prying eye. They become dark and harsh as a result of medication, aging, hormonal imbalances, or genetic predisposition.
If in one case it may be useful to visit an endocrinologist, in others it is only necessary to remove the vegetation as it grows. There are several options for getting rid of excess vegetation.
What to choose depilation or epilation
During depilation, the part of the hair visible to the eye is removed, and epilation also implies the destruction of the follicle, which is an absolute plus. That is why epilation is chosen by those women who want to remove hair permanently or for a longer period.
Shaving
An undesirable method, fraught with the appearance of coarse hair the very next day. As a result, the problem only gets worse.
Plucking with tweezers or thread
A relatively valid option. Painful sensations are possible. The effect lasts from 7 to 14 days. Everything is individual. The only thing, do not forget to disinfect it before using the tweezers. Hair growth slows down slightly, since pulling out causes injury to the hair follicle. After treatment, it is advisable to apply any healing cream (Panthenol).
Depilatory cream
It is important to purchase a special face cream, otherwise you can get a severe chemical burn. Hair will reappear after 7 days. Growth is not slowed down as the cream does not affect the hair root, working only on the surface.
Depilation with wax
These procedures can be carried out at home using special wax strips, but it is better to go to a beauty salon. In addition, the cost is relatively low. The effect lasts up to 3 weeks. It is not recommended to do it before and during menstruation, since at this time the body's sensitivity increases and the pain threshold decreases.
Hydrogen peroxide
Lightening is not the best way. Rather, it will help to make the hairs invisible than to get rid of them. However, when used systematically, peroxide can slow hair growth.
Laser hair removal and photoepilator
Laser hair removal is done only in salons. For home use, you can purchase a photoepilator device. Of course, it is much weaker in power than the salon photoepilation procedure, but a positive effect is still observed. More procedures are simply needed. Therefore, for women who want to solve this delicate problem at home, the photoepilator is an excellent budget option.
Which way to choose is up to you. But cosmetologists identify 2 effective methods, which include waxing and laser hair removal in a salon.
