Waxing is a popular hair removal method that has been used for centuries. It involves using a hot wax to remove hair from the root. Waxing can be done at home or at a salon.
Laser hair removal is a newer method of hair removal that uses a laser to target the hair follicle and destroy it. Laser hair removal can be done at a salon or at home with an at-home laser device.
