Upper lip epilation

One of the most unpleasant problems of any young girl or woman in age is the appearance of a “cannon” above the upper lip. There are many reasons that provoke such an annoying phenomenon, however, more possible are the possible ways to get rid of it. Of course, in some cases, the most appropriate solution is a complete 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 this situation, it is best to resort to the procedure for epilation of the upper lip.

In medicine, hair growth over the upper lip, like the appearance of vegetation around the nipples, is considered an intersex phenomenon. This means that such signs may be present in both men and women. However, not enough of any representative of the fair sex arrange hair in such places.

The appearance of hairs in unexpected places (including on the upper sponge) is called "hirsutism." Doctors usually 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 internal organs. When hirsutism appears, dysfunctions of the ovaries and adrenal glands are suspected. The most dangerous diagnosis in this case is the appearance of tumors. Accompanying signs that will allow to suspect a serious violation in a timely manner and consult a doctor are a roughened voice, increased skin greasiness, and disturbances of the usual menstrual cycle.

• Genetic predisposition or heredity. This reason is especially important because it indicates the possibility of the appearance of unwanted vegetation above the upper lip, even in conditions of a normal state of the body and the endocrine system. In this case, the antennae do not pose any threat to the organism, 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 medicine. Some interferons, anabolic steroids, progestins can also trigger hair growth.

Faced with the problem of hair growth above the upper lip, pay attention to how many of them 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 its part, together with the bulb, located in the follicle, remains intact, which is why it can grow over time. The most well-known options for depilation are shaving with the help of a machine with blades, the use of special electronic depilatory machines.

If you need to get rid of the antennae of a woman, epilation is best suited. This procedure involves the processing of not only the upper part of the hair, but also the follicle. This allows you to extend 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 light, and the risk of skin irritation after the procedures is minimal.

Ways of epilation are much more. And each of them is suitable in order to remove the hated mustache over the lip, so it is very easy to find the procedure that will be the most comfortable and affordable for you.

Today it 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 areas above the upper lip, then taking into account all the advantages of this procedure, the choice becomes obvious.

Removal of vegetation is performed using a special apparatus. The sensor, which is located master over the desired area on the body, automatically emits a concentrated beam of energy, which has a chemical and physical effects on the hair tissue.

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

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

• The procedure does not last long.
• There are no effects on the skin, as the laser does not affect the surrounding hair tissue.
• Painlessly.
• Longer effect (compared to other methods).
• Ability to get rid of antennae once and for all.

Laser hair removal is carried out in cosmetic clinics and centers, where the process is led by an experienced specialist. You may be required additional training, which is to refuse to shave and use cosmetics on the day of the procedure.

By its principle can resemble a laser hair removal. However, in this case, the usual light radiation is used as an energy source. Attached to the desired area, the sensor makes several quick flashes within a second. In this case, the light energy is absorbed by melanin and keratin in the hair follicle and goes into heat. Increasing the temperature quickly destroys the hair pigments - and as a result leads to their complete destruction. The effect of photoepilation is maintained for up to 5 years.

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

If you compare with the same laser hair removal, it can be noted that this method has drawbacks that should be taken into account:

• The effect after several sessions may not be as good as expected. Hair will be restored sooner or later.
• After the procedure, undesirable consequences are possible - such as redness and swelling.
• Somewhat painful.
• It is impossible to apply in case white fluffy hair grows above the upper lip.
• In this case, the cost of the procedure may 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 the problem of excess vegetation above her lip. For the procedure, a special electric rod is used, with the help of which each hair is separately processed.

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

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

Electric hair removal itself is unpleasant, so when it is carried out in the zone 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 intervals of two months).

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

Of course, if you decide to use elos epilation, 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 upper lip area, 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 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 the hairs above the upper lip, it is not necessary to pay a visit to beauty salons.

To begin with, you should evaluate the density of the hair, as well as their density. Very often, you can avoid unnecessary costs and do with tweezers. Of course, such an activity is not very pleasant and can take a lot of time, but the efficiency will be no less than from the procedure of waxing or shugaring.

Some women cost the so-called cold wax. These are special wax strips, which are sold in stores in the form of a set for hair removal. To apply over the upper lip, it is enough to cut a strip of the desired size, hold it in your hands a little to warm it up, stick it on, wait a few minutes - and tear 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 procedure of hair removal in front of a mirror so that no difficulties arise. The finished base should simply be applied to the skin, and then - to tear 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 shugaring, waxing, or applying for these procedures to the salon, then it is best to take care of your skin, which is especially thin and vulnerable over 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 procedure of hair removal you should definitely treat the skin with any fat cream that has moisturizing and nourishing effects.

Typically, girls who are faced with the problem of mustache growth agree that hair removal is the most successful way out of the situation. Any kind of this procedure guarantees the effect of deep cleansing of the skin from unwanted vegetation. In this case, electric and laser hair removal can guarantee complete elimination of the antennae forever.
