Pivot your way to spring smoothness
SPRING is a time for choosing new clothes for the warmer weather ahead. But if you have excessive hair, either on the body or face, what to wear can be a worry. In fact, excessive hair — sometimes caused by hormonal imbalances — can easily ruin your day. Regular shaving or painful waxing can cause redness and rashes, making you feel even more self-conscious. Yet you can still have a confident spring and summer, as there are gentler solutions that are easier on the skin. One method uses a heat technology device to simply melt away the hair. And now it comes in a fantastic new version that pivots to remove and treat hair around every curve of your face and body. It has five treatment levels, a flexible pivoting head and is painless and safe to use at home. So there is no need for plucking, tearing or cutting. Results can be achieved quickly and easily without any expensive visits to a local salon. Thermicon technology delivers heat to each individual hair, removing and treating it simultaneously. Unlike lightbased devices, it works on all hair colours and skin types. The device is portable and light, so can be used at home or away, making hair removal easy and convenient, as Sue Stewart has discovered. Sue, who is from Basingstoke, Hants, found that she had ‘peach fuzz’ on the side of her face after the menopause. ‘It made me self-conscious and I didn’t want to start shaving. So I gave a heat-based device a go and within two weeks saw an improvement. ‘Now I use it only every four to six months for maintenance and no longer have facial hair, which has really boosted my confidence. It has worked on my underarms too. I used to go to the salon to get waxing done. It lasted for a few weeks, but would grow back bristly on both my legs and face, which was horrible. ‘This device is absolutely great — it doesn’t hurt and the hair grows back slowly and smoothly.’
