Upper lip epilation

One of the most annoying problems of any young girl or woman of age is the appearance of a “fluff” above the upper lip. There are quite a few reasons that provoke such an annoying phenomenon, but more relevant are the possible ways to get rid of it. Of course, in some cases, the most correct solution is a full-fledged treatment by a doctor, but it does not always bring the desired result. It also happens that the vegetation above the lip is a feature of the woman's body. In such a situation, it is best to resort to the procedure of epilation of the upper lip.

In medicine, the growth of hair above the upper lip, as well as the appearance of vegetation around the nipples, is considered an intersex phenomenon. This means that such signs can be present in both men and women. However, few of the fair sex are satisfied with hair in such places.

The appearance of hairs in unexpected places (including on the upper lip) is called "hirsutism". Usually, doctors associate such clinical manifestations with excessive production of the male sex hormone in the body. That is why you should first consult with your gynecologist and endocrinologist, who will help you identify the real cause of what is happening:

• Acute or chronic diseases of the internal organs. With the appearance of hirsutism, ovarian and adrenal dysfunctions are the first to be suspected. The most dangerous diagnosis in this case is the appearance of neoplasms. Accompanying signs that will allow you to suspect a serious violation in a timely manner and consult a doctor are coarsening of the voice, increased greasiness of the skin, and violations of the usual menstrual cycle.

• Genetic predisposition or heredity. This reason is especially important, since it indicates the possibility of the appearance of unwanted vegetation above the upper lip, even in the normal state of the body and the functioning of the endocrine system. In this case, the antennae do not pose any threat to the body, but it is still worth getting rid of them.
• Side effects from taking certain drugs. Most often it is associated with any type of hormonal medication. Some interferons, anabolics, progestins can also provoke hair growth.

Faced with the problem of hair growth above the upper lip, pay attention to how many there are. For example, for brunettes, the appearance of a small amount of vegetation in unwanted places, as a rule, is a feature of the body.

Fortunately, today there are many methods for removing hair from any part of the body.There are two types of procedures: depilation and epilation. It is widely believed that there is no difference between these two concepts, but this is fundamentally wrong.

Depilation refers to the removal of only a certain part of the hairs that protrudes above the surface of the skin. In other words, the hair is practically cut off, and part of it, together with the bulb located in the follicle, remains intact, which is why it can grow back over time. The most famous options for depilation are shaving with a machine with blades, the use of special electronic depilatory machines.

If you need to get rid of the antennae in a woman, epilation is best suited. This procedure involves the processing of not only the upper part of the hairs, but also the follicle. This allows you to prolong the effect of smooth skin, reduce the rate of hair growth - or even get rid of them forever. Epilation weakens the newly growing hairs, makes them more fragile and lighter, and the risk of skin irritation after the procedures is minimal.

There are many more ways to epilate. Moreover, each of them is suitable for removing the hated antennae above the lip, so it is very easy to find the procedure that will be the most comfortable and affordable for you.

To date, this is perhaps the most effective way to remove unwanted vegetation. Of course, it is also quite expensive. However, if you only need to treat the area above the upper lip, then taking into account all the advantages of this procedure, the choice becomes obvious.

Vegetation is removed using a special apparatus.The sensor, which is located by the master over the desired area on the body, automatically emits a concentrated beam of energy, which has a chemical and physical effect on the hair tissue.

The main "target" of such devices are usually melanin and carotene - two substances contained in the follicles, without which the construction and further growth of hair is impossible.

Among the advantages of laser hair removal of the upper lip, the following can also be noted:

• The procedure does not take long.
• There are no consequences on the skin, since the laser does not affect the tissues surrounding the hair.
• Painless.
• Longer effect (compared to other methods).
• The ability to get rid of the antennae once and for all.

Laser hair removal is carried out in cosmetology clinics and centers, where the process is led by an experienced specialist. You may be required to prepare in addition to avoiding shaving and wearing cosmetics on the day of the procedure.

By its principle, it can resemble laser hair removal. However, in this case, ordinary light radiation is used as an energy source. The sensor applied to the desired area performs several quick flashes within a second. In this case, light energy is absorbed by melanin and keratin in the composition of the hair follicle and passes into thermal energy.An increase in temperature quickly destroys hair pigments - and as a result leads to their complete destruction. The effect of photoepilation lasts up to 5 years.

Since exposure to light energy is effective only for bulbs in the growth stage, it is advisable to repeat the procedure about 4-6 times in order to achieve absolutely smooth and clean skin.

When compared with the same laser hair removal, it can be noted that this method has disadvantages that must be taken into account:

• The effect after several sessions may not be as good as expected. Hair will grow back sooner or later.
• After the procedure, undesirable consequences are possible - such as redness and swelling.
• Somewhat painful.
• It is impossible to use if white fluffy hair grows above the upper lip.
• At the same time, the cost of the procedure can be about 1,500 rubles only for the upper lip.

Electronic hair removal is another very versatile method that will suit almost any woman with a problem of excess hair above the lip. For the procedure, a special electric rod is used, with the help of which each hair is individually processed.

Of course, such a procedure is very long, while it can also cause some discomfort. However, these unpleasant shortcomings are more than compensated by a very impressive and long-lasting result.

If we consider the principle of operation of professional electric hair removal in more detail, then it is based on the same thermal effect that has a destructive effect on the hair follicle. In this case, it is achieved by direct insertion of a thin electrode into the hair follicle.

Electric hair removal itself is unpleasant, so when it is carried out in the area of ​​​​the upper lip, local anesthesia is simply necessary. The procedure is carried out in the form of a course consisting of 4-5 sessions (with breaks of two months).

It is a more modern universal method, which is recommended for women in the most neglected and difficult situations associated with the appearance of hair in inappropriate places. The procedure actually combines the laser and electric method along with photoepilation, therefore it has a wide range of applications and combines all the contraindications that are typical for the above methods.

Of course, if you decide to use elos hair removal, then you should prepare for the fact that one session will cost at least 2500-3000 rubles. On the other hand, many cosmetologists agree that this method (like electrolysis) is the most effective and can guarantee an absolute solution to the problem of unwanted hair growth.

The master applies sugar paste to the area of ​​the upper lip, and then abruptly removes it, while pulling out all the hairs along with the root. This method is quite painful.

This method is painful, the effect of it will last for several weeks, and the hair will almost certainly appear again. However, hot wax (like sugar paste) is more affordable and can be used at home.

To remove hairs above the upper lip, it is not at all necessary to pay for visits to beauty salons.

First you need to evaluate the density of the hair, as well as their density. Very often you can avoid extra costs and get by with tweezers. Of course, such an activity is not very pleasant and may require a lot of time, but the effectiveness will be no less than that of the waxing or sugaring procedure.

Some women manage with the so-called cold wax. These are special wax strips that are sold in stores as an epilation kit. To apply above the upper lip, it is enough to cut a strip of the desired size, hold it in your hands for a while to warm it up, stick it on, wait a few minutes - and rip it off with one sharp movement.

Sugar pastes and hot wax are available for home use. The area above the upper lip is easily accessible, so it is enough to do the epilation procedure in front of the mirror so that there are no difficulties. The finished base should simply be applied to the skin, and then plucked along with the hairs.

Some types of hair removal are completely safe for the tissues surrounding the hair, so they are completely painless and without any consequences. If you prefer home sugaring, waxing, or go to the salon for these procedures, then it is best to take care of your skin, which is especially thin and vulnerable above the upper lip.

Most often, the threat is physical or thermal damage to the upper layers of the dermis, which can cause the development of irritation. To avoid this, after the epilation procedure, it is imperative to treat the skin with any oily cream that has moisturizing and nourishing effects.

Usually, girls who are faced with the problem of antennae growth agree that hair removal is the most successful way out of the situation. Any type of this procedure guarantees the effect of deep cleansing of the skin from unwanted vegetation. At the same time, electric and laser hair removal can guarantee complete disposal of the antennae forever.
