How to remove nose hair. Machine trimmer, wax, how to cut, how to process

The nose is the central part of the face and requires special attention. To look tidy, avoid excessive hair growth that fills the nasal cavity. Remove visible hairs can be done in ways that are not harmful to health.

What are the hairs in the nasal passages for?

One of the main functions of the external respiratory tract is to cleanse the air from dust and protect the body from the penetration of bacteria. Passing through the nose, the air is cleared of foreign particles using hairs that tightly cover the inner surface of the nostrils.

Absolutely all people have protective hair. The difference is only observed in the color and structure of the hair. In men, the hairs are stiffer and darker than in women. Positioning on the face places aesthetic demands on the nose. One of them is the inadmissibility of excessive hairiness, which can be seen from the nasal passages.

When is nose hair removed?

Removing the nose hair that protects the body is considered unreasonable. Complete removal of the protective barrier can lead to a decrease in immunity and frequent colds. Dust that gets into the respiratory tract can cause irritation and trigger the development of asthma.

Experts recommend removing hair only if it is really visible and creates an untidy effect.

In this case, not completely the entire hairline should be removed, but only its visible part. There are several ways to remove nose hair. This includes cutting with scissors, trimming, laser removal.

With any chosen method, it must be remembered that the nose enters the danger zone, where any intervention should be as safe as possible for health. Blood in the vessels passing through the nasolabial triangle goes directly to the brain. Therefore, any infection is dangerous by the development of sepsis and the penetration of infection into the brain tissue.

How to deal with hair growth at home?

If the hairy lining of the inside of the nose is not too noticeable due to the structure of the nostrils, you can use gentle methods of epilation and remove only visible hairs. In the case of wide or raised nostrils, it is necessary to use procedures with a more lasting effect. Even so, dermatologists do not recommend getting rid of all hair completely.

General rules for the procedure

Removal of unwanted nose hair should be carried out in compliance with the following rules:

• epilation should not be carried out during the period of acute respiratory diseases and in the case of serious contraindications;
• before the procedure, the nasal cavity should be rinsed;

• Hair removal tools must be disinfected with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.
• when using the instrumental method of removal (scissors, trimmer), you should be extremely careful so as not to injure the mucous surface of the nasal cavity.
• To prevent infection from entering micro wounds, after the procedure, you need to treat the nasal cavity with a solution of chlorhexidine.
• If crusts form after salon procedures, you must wait for them to separate themselves.

Using scissors

It is advisable to use small scissors with round ends. The use of such a tool eliminates damage to the inner surface of the nose.

For the procedure you need:

1. Wash the scissors and disinfect them with alcohol, cologne or another alcohol-based product.

   

2. Rinse the nasal cavity and dry with a tissue.
3. Cut off the hairs with gentle movements, trying not to touch the surface of the mucous membrane, and not to push the scissors blades deep into the nose.
4. After the procedure, cleanse the nasal passages from hair clippings with a cotton swab dipped in chlorhexidine solution.

Trimmer application

A trimmer is an electric hair clipper. Trimmers may vary in power, operate on mains power, rechargeable batteries or batteries. Some of them can be used in the shower and to trim damp hair. An important feature of this device is the ability to adjust the length of the hair cut.

To trim the hair in the nose, use a round nozzle with safety knives that cannot damage the inner surface of the nose.

These devices are often backlit. The trimming procedure is comfortable and safe. This is the best way for home care. Hair is cut without damaging the bulbs and traumatizing the nasal mucosa.

The sequence of cutting with a trimmer is as follows:

1. The haircut procedure must be carried out with clean tools. To do this, wipe the trimmer blades with a solution of hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine or alcohol.
2. The inside of the nose should be washed with soap and dried.
3. The round nozzle should be placed shallowly inside the nostril, turn on the device and begin to slowly rotate it, removing hairs in a circle.
4. After the procedure, you need to cleanse the nasal cavity from the remaining cut hairs and treat with a chlorhexidine solution.
5. The device nozzle must be cleaned with a brush, disinfected and closed with a cap.

Using tweezers

You can remove nose hair with tweezers. But this procedure is very painful and carries a high health risk. The nose is an open space where incoming air is filtered.

Therefore, all dust and bacteria accumulate at the base of the nasal cilia. When the hair is pulled out, a microtrauma is formed, where viruses and bacteria can instantly enter. The use of tweezers to depilate nose hair is not recommended and considered unsafe.

In addition, hair removal with tweezers has other consequences:

• the procedure causes severe painful sensations;
• after hair removal, a symptom of ingrown hair often occurs, which provokes inflammation and then the formation of boils.
• in the process of plucking, there is a risk of damaging the nasal mucosa and blood vessels that are located close to the surface of the nasal passages. This can become a causal infection.

Thread application

The procedure for hair removal using a thread is called "trading". With the help of the movement of the twisted thread loop, the hairs are captured and pulled out of the skin. The result of the process is similar to plucking hair with tweezers.

Threading is used to remove hair on a flat surface, so its use for epilation of the nasal passages is impossible due to the lack of access to the site of nasal cilia growth. With the help of a thread, you can remove the hair adjacent to the nose area.

To do this, you need to master a simple technique for working with a twisted thread:

1. For work, take a thread 50 cm long, and tie the ends together with a knot.
2. They put a thread ring on the fingers and make 7-8 twists in one direction, so that a twist appears in the middle, which easily moves to the sides when the fingers move.
3. The loop is put on the thumb and forefinger of both hands.
4. The thread is applied to the skin surface so that the epilation area is in the left corner after twisting the threads.
5. The fingers of the right hand are spread so that the curled area moves to the left and grabs the hairs.
6. If the leading hand is left, the movements are done in the opposite direction.

Wax application

The beauty industry does not stand still and today, for removing hair from the nose, it offers a procedure using hot wax. The composition used is designed specifically for depilation of the nasal mucosa, does not burn or injure tissue.

The procedure is painful and is often performed in beauty salons. Admirers of this method point to a long lasting aesthetic effect. After removal, hair begins to grow only after 3-4 weeks. Hair removal at home is also possible. To do this, you need to purchase a special tool and follow the instructions.

The sequence of waxing:

1. The nasal cavity is disinfected with a special solution and a remedy is applied that softens the surface of the tissues and prepares the hairline for epilation.
2. The melted wax is applied to a special rod (or wound on 3 cotton swabs folded together), put into the nasal cavity, slightly pressed against the nostril from the outside and wait for the composition to set.
3. With a sharp movement in one direction, the wax is removed from the nose along with adhered hairs.
4. The surface of the mucous membrane is treated with a composition that forms a protective film that does not allow bacteria to penetrate into the formed micro wounds.

The use of this type of removal of the intranasal cover is associated with the risk of infection. Therefore, the procedure must be performed by a professional technician using special disinfectants and protective equipment.

Application of a special cream

Specialists have developed a composition of an epilating cream for the nasal cavity that does not have a strong odor and does not irritate the respiratory tract. This cream does not dry out mucous membranes, but it can cause allergies.

To test for allergenicity, apply a small amount of the composition to the inner surface of the forearm and observe the condition of the skin for 30 minutes. If itching or burning appears, the use of the drug should be excluded.

The sequence of actions for epilation with cream:

1. The nose is washed and dried with a napkin.
2. A cream is applied to the inner surface of the nostrils.
3. During exposure to the composition, it is recommended to breathe through the mouth.
4. After 5-10 minutes, the cream is removed with a special spatula.
5. The nasal cavity is washed with water and an emollient cream is applied.

You can remove nose hair with a cream at home. In this case, it is necessary to use only special means and strictly follow the instructions.

Can I get rid of nose hair permanently?

Hair is formed from hair follicles found in the lower layers of the skin. Each follicle is programmed to produce 25 to 27 hairs, with each hair having a lifespan of approximately 5 years. At the same time, the skin contains 20% of active and 80% of dormant bulbs.

When the hair is exposed to a laser beam or an electrical pulse, the active hair follicle is destroyed, which stops the production of the hair shaft. This process can be called the complete elimination of this hair.

After some time, internal processes in the body activate the dormant bulbs, and the hair growth process begins again. Thus, it is impossible to completely and permanently remove the hair in the nose. You can only slow down or suspend this process.

Radical salon treatments

Cool hair removal is a new word in the field of nose hair removal. This procedure is painless and harmless. When exposed to light pulses, the skin does not heat up. The laser beam destroys the hair follicle, thereby stopping hair growth for 10-15 years. Cool hair removal procedure is used for women and men over 18 years old with hair from light blond to black.

To prepare for the procedure, you must:

1. For 4 weeks, give up tanning and visiting the solarium.
2. Do not self-epilate before visiting the salon.
3. Pass a preliminary consultation with a specialist of the laser center to obtain information about the procedure, its contraindications and to estimate the number of required sessions.
4. For women, schedule the procedure 1 week before or after monthly cycles to increase the pain threshold.

Contraindications for cool hair removal:

• diseases of the immune system;
• neoplasms;
• diabetes;
• violation of blood clotting;
• tendency to scar formation;
• acute respiratory diseases;
• pregnancy;
• period of exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• damage to the nasal mucosa.

For 1 session of laser removal, hair follicles that are in the stage of active growth are affected. Subsequent sessions are aimed at destroying the newly activated hair follicles.

Another salon hair removal method is cryotherapy. This is a procedure that is performed by supplying liquid nitrogen to the hair growth site. This is not a comfortable procedure, because after it there is tissue edema, and later a crust forms. Destroyed hair follicles are removed along with the dead layer of the mucous membrane.

Photoepilation is a method of destroying hair follicles by applying light pulses. Melanin absorbs light impulses, heat energy is released and the hair follicle is destroyed. An unprofessional procedure may lead to burns.

Elos hair removal - alternate exposure of the follicle to a light pulse and a radio frequency wave, which together lead to the destruction of the hair follicle. Salon procedures require strict adherence to performance technology and safety measures.

When deciding to carry out a procedure for epilation of the nasal cavity, it is recommended to contact a reputable professional cosmetology clinic with personnel with medical education.
