I'm not a big believer in universal statement unless it's absolutely 100% truthful. When I read about a hair removal option offering "permanent hair removal" or "painless hair removal" I'm sceptical.

When it comes to hair removal, you'll quickly find that you need separate fact from fiction, truth from hype. Just because a product is marketed as offering something, it doesn't mean that it actually does it or that it will work for you specifically.

Here are some hair removal tips to consider when you are weighing your options for hair removal.

• Ensure your chosen hair removal practitioner has the necessary training, skills and experience to perform the treatment. This is especially true in the case of laser and light-based treatment.
• Understand all possible side effects before undergoing any treatment.
• Learn to tell the difference between fact and hype when it comes to marketing claims about various hair removal options.
• Fully understand the treatment plan of the option you choose ie. how often will you have to take treatment? The more treatments = more cost to you.
• When appropriate (ie. with laser and light-based treatments) check to see if the processes are government approved.
