Introduction
- Many individuals suffer from unwanted back hair. If you have unwanted back hair, there are several solutions available. Because your back is a difficult location, for best results, have a professional perform one of the following methods.
Shaving
- Shaving uses a sharp blade to remove hair from the surface of your skin. Shave while wet to help avoid skin irritation. Unless you are a contortionist, you may need assistance to shave all unwanted back hair. Shaving lasts one to two days.
Depilatories
- A hair removal gel, cream or lotion is applied to the skin dissolving the protein in the hair and allowing the hair to be removed.
Waxing
- Waxing uses hot or cold wax to pull hair out by the root. New growth is not visible for several weeks after treatment. Waxing can be done at home, but for best results see a professional.
Electrolysis
- Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal process. Using an electrical epilator, an electrical current destroys the hair follicle. Electrolysis requires regular treatments for several months, perhaps up to a year. Because it is expensive and time-consuming, electrolysis is not always the best treatment for unwanted back hair.
