Funny Stories from the Do-It-Yourself Hair Removal File

Before I owned a medical spa that offers laser hair removal, I plucked, waxed, and used hair removal lotion. I thought I’d share with you some of my past experiences.

Plucking

About 10 years ago, I wanted to test my husband’s love for me SO I did what any wife would do. I requested that he pluck my eyebrows… Ladies, he did it. AND he did an awesome job. Only problem was, he didn’t want to do it all the time. Ladies, if you find a man that will pluck your eyebrows you have a keeper.

Have you ever plucked your eyebrows so much that you’ve had to draw them in? Fortunately, I’ve never had this problem. However, I see it all the time. Some ladies are pluck happy. Please what ever you do, do not draw your eyebrows back in so thick that you look like you used a Sharpie.

Hair Removal Lotions

I tried different hair removal lotions. I remember that they seem to work nicely on the face. It’s less painful than waxing your upper lip. Just make sure you don’t leave it on for too long. If you have sensitive skin like me, and leave the lotion on longer than you should, you’ll look like a tomato for a few days just where you removed the hair. My general rule is when it starts to burn it’s time to wash it off. Some products have a balm that you can apply afterwards to moisturize and calm your skin. These are helpful.

I tried hair removal lotions on my arms too. I remember that this never worked out too well for me. Since it’s a larger area and I didn’t apply the lotion evenly, I always seemed to miss sections and have patches of hair removed. Not the best look.

Waxing

Waxing seemed to work well for the arms. However, I wasn’t that coordinated to do it myself and was scared that it would hurt. I never pulled hard enough to remove the hair. This is another time when I would usually ask my husband to help.

I’m almost certain others can relate to these experiences. Have I missed something? Do you have a story? Share it with us! If you’re tired of plucking, waxing, and using lotion, visit Evanesque and let one of the specialists take care of your hair removal permanently.

Laser Hair Removal – Here’s the Scoop

The Befores and Afters of Laser Hair Removal

Everyone knows smiling is sexy, but the lines it leaves on your face, not so much. You don’t have to invest in creams that don’t work or expensive, invasive surgery. Juvederm is the less painful remedy that doesn’t cost a fortune and actually works.
Juvederm is a quick, easy procedure that has almost instant results. A simple shot into your trouble areas can leave you looking years younger after just one visit. Smile or “parentheses” lines are those annoying lines that frame your mouth over the years.  Fortunately, you don’t need the wrinkles to prove you’re happy. Many people get vertical lines around his/her lips, due to natural muscle movements, but over time these wrinkles can leave your mouth looking droopy or even resemble a frown. With Juvederm, there’s no reason to tolerate those pesky wrinkles. Scared of jumping in? Don’t be! Here’s 3 great reasons Dallas women are choosing Juvederm over facelifts

1. Non-Invasive – Some procedures can leave you in pain for days, or worse, leave you out of commission completely. More invasive techniques cause major inflammation and can leave your face red, irritated, and greatly bruised. With Juvederm, there’s a small injection in to the wrinkle site. This may cause slight swelling or bruising, but only lasts a day or two.
2. Less Expensive– Facelifts and other surgeries can be very expensive. Juvederm is a great alternative to spending tons of money and can cost almost a fifth less than a going under the knife.
3. Great Results – With more and more people giving Juvederm a try, there’s no telling just how many people have done it, but there’s a good chance you know a few people who have. This is an easy way to wipe years off your face and get a glowing, younger look in no time.

Evanesque offers the facelift alternative in Dallas. Since 2004, their Uptown location has provided women and men with medical spa services including Botox, Juvederm, spray tanning, and other services.

There’s one particular conversation that us girls have, and often compare notes. Although styles and preferences have changed over the years, it seems the consensus over the last 20 years has been when it comes to bikini lines, “less is more.”  With the option to go from no hair to barely there, laser hair removal for bikini lines have become more and more popular as swimsuits have gotten tinier and tinier.  When faced with the options of doing-it-yourself or having a professional waxing, each come with uncomfortable side effects. No matter what some say, ripping it off quickly like band aid doesn’t help it hurt any less. This month is the perfect time to start in order to be ready for the summer. Below are

Six Reasons to Get Bikini Line Laser Hair Removal

1. Enjoy Pool Parties without fear – You don’t want to be “that girl” at the pool party.
2. It’s modern – Afros went out of style in the 70’s.
3. Be Simply Irresistible – Your husband will love the new you.
4. Brazilians are sexy – And waxing REALLY hurts.
5. It’s not fashionable to be furry – Merkins (pubic wigs) went out the 1700s.
6. Save Time – Spend less time grooming before summer and every time you decide to swim.
7. What a relief - Say good-bye to razor bumps and ingrown hairs forever.
