hair removal

Getting rid smooth

Hair removal is the elimination of unwanted body or facial hair.

Methods range from temporary (shaving, waxing, plucking, depilatory creams) to permanent (electrolysis, laser treatment).

The practice varies by culture, gender norms, and personal preference: She scheduled a laser hair removal appointment.

Also called depilation or epilation, though these terms distinguish between removing hair above versus below the skin surface.
