The Best Methods For Removing Belly Hair

Your crush just invited you to a pool party. Finally! You’ve waited months for this!

So you want to look your absolute best. You bought a new bikini. A new hat. A new cover-up.

You do a final fit check before heading to the pool. And you can’t help but notice those few pesky hairs on your stomach. There isn’t much at all. Hardly noticeable, in fact. But they’ve been on your mind for some time now.

Can you relate? Look, belly hair is completely normal, and it’s part of everyday life for so many people.

But some want to rid themselves of those hairs, which is the subject of an article from The List.

What are the best methods for removing belly hair? So many options are available, and The List highlights the pros and cons of each choice, including laser hair removal.

Of course, you can shave those hairs. While it may be a dated method, it’s still popular. In fact, 72% of poll takers listed shaving as their go-to option for hair removal. It’s inexpensive and can temporarily eliminate the belly hair, but this option requires ongoing maintenance.

Waxing is another method. This will keep you hair-free longer than shaving, but the results won’t be permanent and regular appointments are necessary. And let’s not forget the hair is literally ripped from the skin.

Electrolysis is another move consumers might choose. A tiny, electrically charged needle is put into the hair follicle and permanently prevents regrowth. But keep in mind, this isn’t the most efficient process. Eight to 12 sessions are necessary, and the treatment timeline can span as much as a year.

And the option that seemingly gets more popular by the day is laser hair removal. The laser targets the hair follicles, compromising the hair’s growth cycle. And after multiple sessions, you’ll have lasting results and smooth, hair-free skin.

One possible area of apprehension with laser hair removal might be potential discomfort for removing belly hair. Clients liken laser hair removal to the snap of a rubber band on the skin. But many clients also report getting laser treatment on the stomach yields only minor discomfort if any at all.

Be sure to read The List’s full article, which also includes the pros and cons of using an intense pulsed light for at-home hair removal therapy.
