Permanent hair removal Hollywood latest trend

Have you ever imagined your toes an even your ears can be hair free? That’s right; celebrities are going bonkers over this permanent hair removal technique that costs nothing less than $3000.

Desperate Housewives’s Eva Longoria has gone through this hair removal treatment. All her body, including hands, ears, neck and nose are hair free. She says she sweats less when she goes to the gym, her skin looks shinier and clearer, and the rash and ingrown hairs are gone forever.

How does this permanent hair removal works?

It combines different well-known depilation techniques such as laser hair removal (painless), waxing, intense pulsed light (IPL) epilation and resurfacing (improves skin’s surface) and complementary herbal skin products and tourmaline, a heat –sensitive energetic mineral that responds to hand pressure, leaving your skin baby like.  

I remembered there were some restrictions for certain types of skin, but not anymore. Today there are different laser for both dark skin and light skin.

Other celebrity hair removal secret is sugar waxing or sugaring, a Middle Eastern technique that consists on preparing a natural sugar, water and lemon paste. It is used by Britney Spears and is available in the States in L.A.’s most exclusive spas.
