While back hair may seem “undesirable,” the trait is actually common. According to a Harvard study, over 50% of men had some form of back hair, and according to Healthline, having a hairy back can be a part of a woman’s natural physique too.
While having back hair is normal, excessive hair can become uncomfortable or make you feel self conscious about how your body looks. At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we offer back hair removal in Nags Head so you can love how your body looks and feels!
Causes Of Back Hair
Usually, your genetics determine your tendency for back hair. For men, certain genes make you more sensitive to the effects of testosterone, which can affect how much body hair you have, how thick it is, and where it grows.
Women may have similar genetics, but women typically have lower quantities of testosterone than men, making them less likely to develop excessive back hair. However, other medical conditions can influence the development of excessive hair in other places across your body, including your face. Common conditions that cause back hair in women are:
- Hirsutism
- Hormonal imbalances
- Cushing syndrome
- Adrenal gland disorders
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Certain medications
While you can get back hair removal in Nags Head to treat excessive hair, it’s best to consult with your primary care physician to make sure you have no underlying health conditions.
Methods of Back Hair Removal
There are multiple methods to remove excessive hair, including:
Shaving
While the cheapest method of removing excessive back hair, shaving only treats the hair at skin-level. This means hair starts growing back within a day or two, so you need to shave every few days to continuously maintain smooth skin. And those who lack flexibility may need to enlist the help of a friend or family member to get those harder-to-reach places.
Waxing
Waxing can deliver results that last anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks, but is not typically a comfortable procedure, especially if it’s your first time getting waxed. To ensure you receive safe and effective hair removal, you will need to go to a licensed cosmetologist, barber, or esthetician most of the time. While you can do waxing treatments at home, they are not as effective as having a professional do it.
Hair Removal Creams
Hair removal creams are more comfortable than waxing and deliver longer lasting results than shaving. However, hair removal creams can cause allergic reactions or chemical burns if you leave the product on your skin too long. You need to be extremely careful when applying the cream and always do a patch test before using the cream on the treatment area. A patch test is when
At-Home Laser Hair Removal
You can find at-home laser hair removal kits, but they do not provide the same treatment quality or long-lasting results that in-office laser hair removal can deliver. You will also need help to treat the hard-to-reach areas of your back.
Why Laser Hair Removal is the Best
In-office laser treatments make the best option for back hair removal in Nags Head because you have a caring, licensed BeachGlo aesthetician who understands your goals. We dedicate ourselves to providing comfortable treatment and reliable results that help you feel confident in your body.
