Hair removal comparison charts Disclaimer
Your experiences with a hair removal
method may be completely different than the experiences of another
consumer.
The following is excerpted from my legal information
page:
The information contained in hairfacts.com is presented for
the purpose of educating consumers on hair removal topics. Nothing
contained in hairfacts.com is intended to be instructional for
medical diagnosis or treatment. The information should not be
considered complete, nor should it be relied on to suggest a
course of treatment for a particular individual.
The same method can be considered ideal by one consumer and worthless
by another. One consumer might find a method painless, and another
might find the same method unbearable. One might find a method
is totally effective for them, and another might find it doesn't
work at all.
These comparison charts are based on published medical data and
feedback from consumers and practitioners. However, because of
the huge number of variables involved in hair removal, comparing
can only occur on the most general level and might not reflect
a specific consumer's experiences.
I make absolutely no guarantee
that any method will work better or worse for you than another
product.

How to read these charts
I have graded the characteristics of each type of hair removal.
"A" is a good grade, "F" is a bad grade.
Thus:
| Cost |
inexpensive |
A B C D F |
very expensive |
| Speed |
fast |
A B C D F |
very slow |
| Pain |
painless |
A B C D F |
very painful |
| Lasting |
permanent |
A B C D F |
very brief |
| Skin injury |
impossible |
A B C D F |
very likely |
| Safety |
very safe |
A B C D F |
potentially dangerous |
Here's what the grades are based on:
cost: to keep the
hair away over the course of a lifetime.
speed: time it takes to clear
all unwanted hair during a typical session.
pain: people experience pain
differently, but these are averages from those who have contacted
me. Your mileage may vary.
lasting: the best outcome reported,
based on using the product perfectly. Again, your mileage may
vary.
skin injury: a combination of
the temporary side effects, plus the potential for long-term
or permanent side effects.
safety: all these products are
safe if used correctly, but if used improperly or by poorly
trained people, all can cause injury of varying severity.
