Abstract
The methods of hair removal vary between simple inexpensive means of home t reatment (shaving, plucking, depilatories) to expensive and potentially tim e-consuming means used by paraprofessionals, nurses, and/or physicians (ele ctrolysis, lasers, x-ray). The ways in which these different methods induce hair removal, the duration of such removal, and the nuances between device s within the same category of methods are discussed.
