Side-effects of the traditional methods.

All these hair removal methods induce hair strengthening, due to a barbaric and aggressive treatment. Hair become thicker, darker, and roots even reproduce themselves to give birth to two or three grouped hair.

Ingrown hair and folliculitis are most of all induced by epilators, wax hair removal and shaving.

In summer and on friction areas (bikini fold for example), folliculitis often worsen and turn into deep infections. Surgery is then necessary and results in a one-centimeter scar at least.

Without reaching such extremes, people with sensitive skins report year after year the appearance of numerous little scars that get darker with the sun and proliferate on the legs and the bikini.

On the lower part of the face, tweezed areas reveal the same dark aspect, as a result of the merging and pigmentation of several micro lesions.

One exception: calves and sometimes underarms, where successive pluckings weaken the hair. Hair become lighter and thinner (tight socks can generate the same results).
