Hair Removal Techniques - Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a costly procedure in which a laser beam is used to disable hair follicles. Not only is it the newest method of hair removal to be marketed, but it is also among the newest cosmetic laser treatments available in the U.S. and must be performed in a physician’s office or in a special salon that is licensed to operate a Class II medical device. In the United States, manufacturers are prohibited by the FDA from claiming the hair won’t grow back, but some estimates say one treatment can eliminate 30 to 40 percent of the hair for up to a year (the rest may grow back, but with a finer texture). While the number of treatments required to effectively remove the hair depends on the size of the area involved, typically two to four sessions are needed. Via Marzena

    Hair Removal Techniques - Bleaching

    Bleaching is an alternative to physical hair removal. Although bleach does not remove hair, it lightens the color of the hair so that it blends with the natural color of the skin. However, bleaching can temporarily discolor the skin by removing a surface layer of pigmentation. Via Marzena

    Hair Removal Techniques - Growth Inhibitors

    Hair growth inhibitors are a new development in hair removal that actually slow the regrowth of body hair. Applied immediately after hair removal, the inhibitor saturates the exposed base of the hair follicle and begins the process of slowing down hair growth. It will start to work in about 2-3 days — depending on how coarse the hair is, the method of hair removal used and the condition of your skin. Marzena has also added this revolutionary ingredient to its depilatory products for convenience.  Via Marzena

    Hair Removal Techniques for Bikini - Wax Strips

    Genuine wax strips grip the hair. The wax encases and grips each hair so it is not broken off or cut, as with shaving, rather it is pulled out at the roots leaving the area hair free for 6 to 8 weeks. Smaller strips are ideal for the bikini area and are by far the fastest long-lasting hair removal method for the bikini area. Marzena Petite Natural Wax Strips are ideal for this purpose. They contain a layer of natural pine wax between two strips of cellophane, offering excellent grip. Marzena Petite Natural Wax Strips are economical, as well — the strip can be applied several times during each treatment.

    For maximum effectiveness and minimal discomfort, it is important to hold the skin taut and pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. Any wax remaining on the skin can be removed easily by either reapplying the same strip or by daubing the wax with the unwaxed side of the same strip.

    A word of caution: many so-called “cold wax strips” are not wax at all, but rather chemicals that form a kind of gel. Their delivery can be impeded by changes in temperature and they do not effectively grip the hair. Marzena Petite Natural Wax Strips are completely natural pine wax providing maximum effectiveness, and contain no chemicals to adversely affect the skin.  Read more

    Hair Removal Techniques for Bikini - Cream & Lotion Depilatories

    Creams and lotions are ideal for bikini line hair removal as they are simple to use and cause no discomfort. Usually the hair is removed only at the skin’s surface, so the hair keratin is stimulated–just as it is in shaving — and the hair grows back stronger. Marzena Hair Remover Lotion with Inhibitor is a gentle, yet effective, fragrance free hair remover that is easy to apply. It works by removing the hair slightly below the skin’s surface. Formulated with a hair growth inhibitor which penetrates the open hair follicle, it substantially retards the growth of new hair. Read more

    Hair Removal Techniques for Legs - Hair Growth Inhibitors

    Hair growth inhibitors are a new development in hair removal. They actually slow the regrowth of body hair. Marzena has developed an inhibitor serum which substantially retards the growth of new hair. Designed for use after hair removal, it works most effectively when applied after using Marzena Sugaring Wax or Marzena Natural Wax Strips. After hair has been removed by the roots, the serum can then penetrate the open hair follicle, interacting with the protein as it forms a new root cell. In addition to developing an inhibitor serum, Marzena is the first company to reformulate its lotion and cream depilatories to include hair growth inhibitor. Read more

    Hair Removal Techniques for Legs - Wax Strips

    Natural wax strips grip the hair. Marzena uses genuine wax, this allows the hair to be encased so it is not broken off or cut, as with shaving, rather it is pulled out at the roots leaving the area hair free for 6 to 8 weeks. Marzena Natural Wax Strips are larger, and are by far the fastest long-lasting hair removal method for this area. They contain a layer of natural pine wax between two strips of cellophane, offering excellent grip.

    Hair Removal Techniques for Legs - Waxing

    Waxing uproots the hair from its follicles for the longest-lasting (up to eight weeks), smoothest results of all temporary hair removal methods. Warm waxing is recommended to remove hair from the legs. Marzena Sugaring Wax is a water soluble warm wax that is more pliable and easier to apply than many on the market today. When heated in a microwave oven, it also stays warm longer and requires little, if any, reheating. It comes with washable cloth strips that are a perfect size for the leg area, allowing large amounts of hair to be removed per treatment. What’s more, clean-up is simple-water soluble wax means drips can easily be wiped off and wax residue can be washed off with just warm water. More here
