Waxing

Waxing includes the application for a sticky wax on the skin. This wax is then removed along with a  thin strip which pulls off the hair strands from the roots, in the process. Since the hair is removed from the roots, it is painless.

Pain associated is not much but I understand some people have low pain threshold so, can hurt. But for those who can bear it, it is the best way to remove facial hair on upper lip. After waxing the hair comes after at least 15-20 days and it also depends from person on person.

Threading

Just like the waxing, thread involves removal of hair from the roots. It is done with a thread which pinches the hair and pulls them off. This is more painful then waxing s waxing is done in a  single go while threading the upper lip takes at least 10-12 swipes of the thread honestly. You can get the hair back after 2-3 weeks.

Tweezing

Yes, tweezers can do but it takes time and the pain is even more. So, I am sure a lot of you who need painless method won’t go for tweezing. Even smell hairs are very difficult to get hold off.

Epilators

Epilation too gets rid of the facial hair from the roots but involves pain and the cost. Getting an epilator is a one-time investment, if you but from a trusted brand. As the device lasts for years.

Electrolysis

It is painless well kind of and is permanent! Yaay! But it is costly. So, if you think it fits the bill, then this is for you.
