Prisca McGuire looks into the latest hair removal options A woman's hair may be her crowning glory, but not when the hair is on other parts of the body other than the head. For example, excess hair under the armpits, on legs, thighs and arms can be very embarrassing, and the problem can be made worse if you don't choose the appropriate hair removal method. Before you start to think about trying to remove unwanted hair, you first need to be aware that there is no such thing as permanent hair removal, because the hair inevitably grows back. And those that do offer permanent removal are very expensive. You also need to be aware that removal is a 'high maintenance' activity, and once you've started, you have to keep going. Because of our genetic make-up, Black people tend to have coarser and curlier hair follicles than anyone else. Which means that the hair has to be removed from the root to prevent it curling inwards. Black men suffer from the well known problem of in-growing hairs, but the problem can also affect women. You face two basic choices when it comes to getting rid of unwanted hair - either you do it yourself or you go to a salon. Salon treatments Beauty salons offer a variety of hair removal treatments, including waxing, sound wave and laser treatment. If you decide to opt for a wax treatment, you need to check that you are not allergic to the wax used for the treatment. If you decide to go for laser treatment at one of the many laser clinics, don't expect miracles. Tiffany Still, beauty therapist, from the London Laser Clinic told us, 'Whatever the hair removal technique, it can only ever be temporary, because the hair will eventually grow back. This is why we recommend top-up treatments, once the course of treatments is finished.' A course of treatment at the London Laser Clinics to remove unwanted hair on the upper lip costs £300 for a course of treatments, and £10 for top-up treatments. Legs cost £1,500 and top-ups £50. (London Laser Clinic. Tel: 020 8770 9311). The Harley Medical Group also offers laser hair removal, and have perfected the procedure for removing hair on Black and Asian skin. They recommend an initial consultation, followed by a test patch to confirm suitability for the treatment. Popular areas for treatment are sides of the face, upper lip, underarms, arms, legs and bikini line. Prices for these areas are: Upper lip, £71; Face, £330; Underarms, £73; Arms £329; Legs £868 and Bikini Line, £73. (Harley Medical Group: Tel: 0800 917 9000.) If your pockets aren't deep enough for laser treatment, you can always try wax treatment, providing you are not allergic to the wax. At Style Performers salon in North London, the cost of waxing for a full leg starts at £12, and £8.50 for half a leg. Bikini line waxing starts at £6, lips at £5 and underarms, £7. (Style Performers: Call: 020 8808 2091.) Another option is the Epil Pro system, which uses sound, rather than light energy, to remove unwanted hair. The procedure shatters the hair at the root, causing the damaged hair to drop out. The technique is completely painless, and doesn't cause any burning or trauma to the skin. Like most other hair removal procedures, it requires a course
