When removing armpit hair, you must pay attention to better methods to avoid hair follicle infection caused by removing armpit hair. Let us learn about it below.

What to do if you have armpit hair

1. Remove armpit hair with tweezers

It is physical hair removal, which is to pull out the hair with tweezers. This method is suitable for people with less hair and who are not afraid of pain. In addition, the editor reminds you to be very careful when removing armpit hair with tweezers, because if you are not careful you may damage the skin under your armpits.

In addition, I will introduce the disadvantages of frequently plucking armpit hair with tweezers:

(1) Pain and bleeding

The first disadvantage of plucking armpit hair with tweezers is that it is very painful. During the pulling process, due to the wrong direction of force, it may also cause a small amount of bleeding in the hair follicles.

(2) Causes loose skin under the armpits

When you use tweezers to pluck armpit hair, the skin will also be pulled. If you pull it like this frequently, the skin will become loose. When I put on clothes, there will be ugly fat under my armpits.

(3) Causes folliculitis

When plucking armpit hair with tweezers, if the tweezers or the armpit epidermis are not clean, it will provide opportunities for bacteria to enter the skin, which can easily cause infection and lead to folliculitis. Many girls often pluck their armpit hair and find that the roots of their armpit hair will become red, swollen, or even filled with pus, which is caused by folliculitis.

2. Remove armpit hair with a patch

Cut the patch to the size of the area to be hair removed, apply it to the required area, and tear it off quickly and forcefully. The tearing downwards action must be quick for best results, otherwise it will be very painful. Hair removal is usually done in a beauty salon.

3. Remove armpit hair with medicine

The effect of inhibiting hair growth can be achieved by taking oral drugs that inhibit androgen. This is because women have a certain amount of androgen in their bodies. When the amount of androgen is too much, hair will increase. Taking drugs against androgen can inhibit hair growth.

4. Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is an ideal method of hair removal and is very safe. It will not damage healthy skin and will only work on hair follicles. The thicker the hair, the longer the laser action time required. The laser pulse time of semiconductor hair removal laser ranges from 5 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds. While achieving ideal hair removal effects, it can also effectively protect the epidermis from thermal damage.

The principle of underarm laser hair removal: the pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the energy of the laser and destroys the hair follicles through the heat exchange generated, thus stopping the hair from growing. Laser hair removal is also a permanent hair removal method.

In addition, many people who seek beauty treatments report that their skin will appear slightly red after hair removal. This is actually normal. You can apply cold compress for a while, and the redness will gradually ease after a few days. After the operation, as long as you pay attention to sun protection and skin cleansing, there is no need to do too much special care.

In addition, the editor reminds you that laser armpit hair removal generally requires at least three times to achieve complete hair removal. The reason why laser can destroy armpit hair is that the melanin in the armpit hair follicles can absorb the laser, and the light and heat of the laser can make the hair follicles inactive. However, only 1/3 of the hair in the armpit area is in the growth phase, and the laser only works on the hair follicles in the growth phase, so laser armpit hair removal requires at least 3 to 5 treatments.

5. Waxing to remove armpit hair

Apply the wax evenly on the skin, and the wax should be tightly attached to the skin so that all the hairs can be stuck. Then cover it with gauze and pull up the gauze covering the skin to remove the hair by the roots. Hair removal is usually performed in a beauty salon. This is physical hair removal. Use sticky wax to stick to the body hair and remove it all at once.

6. Razor and electric razor for hair removal

Just like men shaving their beards, apply shaving cream to the skin before shaving. And you should develop the habit of shaving every day, otherwise a layer of black stubble will grow, which is very unsightly. It should be noted that if you use a razor to shave, the hair will grow longer and thicker. If you are not skilled in the operation, it is easy to scratch the pores, damage the delicate skin, and cause redness and swelling.

Many people will ask, "What should women with a lot of armpit hair do?" The answer, of course, is to find a way to remove the armpit hair. The above-mentioned methods of removing armpit hair each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If women want to remove armpit hair, they might as well try them.
