GlossaryHair Removal

process of eliminating unwanted body hair through various methods

Hair removal, also known as depilation or epilation, refers to the process of eliminating unwanted hair from the body. This can be achieved through various methods such as shaving, waxing, plucking, laser treatments, and electrolysis. While shaving and depilatory creams remove hair at the skin's surface, methods like waxing, laser treatments, and electrolysis target the hair follicle, providing longer-lasting results.
