Waxing, plucking and shaving - respectively, painful, time consuming and short term. However you choose to get rid of leg hair is a personal choice and provides much cause for debate amongst women, fashion magazines and on-line forums.

The other serious alternative to these, other than allowing the hair to grow of course, (an alternative rarely discussed!) is to use a variety of laser hair removal or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) system. These are usually the domain of beauty salons and health spas and if undertaken frequently enough, can result in either permanent hair removal or at least a significant slowing and thinning of hair re-growth.

The downside to these types of treatment of course is the expense and hassle of visiting the salon or spa when all you need is to be looking good that Friday or Saturday night. There are far more important things to do last minute (as it always seem to be) like choosing and buying a new outfit, getting your hair done and squeezing in some quality bathroom time in which a quick shave of the legs will have to do! The chances of squeezing in a trip to the beauty clinic are simply not on the cards when life is that hectic.

There are alternatives becoming available to the mass population in terms of at home laser hair removal systems and more recently even IPL hair removal systems. Still requiring a modicum of foresight however, over time these at home salon experiences mean that you can fit in serious hair removal sessions without the hassle, expense and sometimes self-conscious visits to the local clinic.

It is of course a balance as these devices can be expensive to buy upfront, but the cost savings within the course of just one year will pay for even the most expensive options easily. What's more, the standard of technology has risen so much, that it is possible to find that some home systems, (in particular the award winning silk'n system) can provide an even better result than some salons still using older equipment.

Perhaps the newest method which lies somewhere between IPL and shaving is the No! No! hair removal system. There have been some very positive reports on this innovative technology which uses light and Thermicon technology to kill hairs permanently. Used once a week, it is understood that hairs grow back significantly less frequently and much more sparsely. Making subsequent waxing, plucking and shaving easier, quicker and less painful.

So the quick fixes of the past whether it be waxing, something I personally have never been able to enjoy, plucking (who has the time?) and shaving are getting a run for the money. It is likely that a combination of shaving and more permanent solutions such IPL will become more commonplace as more people enjoy the home laser systems in conjunction with old standing favourites.
