Dealing with Unwanted Body Hair

Laser Hair Removal; is it safe?

Hair removal is a practice that has been around for many years. Modelling agencies are full of models who can testify to that. It has improved over the decades, moving from the traditional waxing practices into more sophisticated options such as laser hair removal. Laser hair removal entails the use of laser beams to remove hair by destroying the hair particles. It is common practice in many developed countries around the world, especially in the United States. The technology entails the concentration of beams onto a hair follicle, which then disintegrates in the process. This technology has come in handy for many people, with many advantages and some disadvantages as well.

Laser hair removal is faster than waxing and hair removal technicians can see many customers in a single day. It takes several sessions to have the desired effect and it's not necessarily cheap, but for many, having hair removed can be life changing and have miraculous effects on your confidence and mental health. Another merit of laser hair removal is that it is possible for the expert to focus on specific places with precision so they can target only the problem follicles. This works well for the underarm and bikini lines and also delicate places, including the face. The method has been known to lead to permanent hair removal after five sessions on average, which is a lot better than waxing every month!

It's always important to read about the potential side effects of any treatment and Models Direct always advise seeking medical advice beforehand if you have any concerns. In general laser hair removal is safe, but there are a range of companies who do it and some will always be better than others so check out reviews and get prices - if one is half the price of another, it might be worth investigating why!

Models Direct Diet Tips

Models Direct Diet Tips

Models Direct are one of the UKs best established modelling agencies. In business for over 20 years, we have been there at every stage as the industry has grown consistently year on year. We wanted to share some interesting facts about dieting, and perhaps help you with any weight related new years resolutions!

Firstly, there are two main parts to a diet and these are what you eat, and when you eat it. Aside from physical exercise of some form, these two things form the foundation of any successful dieting. What you eat includes calorie content as well as the nutritious content. As a grown woman of average build your body needs 1500-2000 calories per day. Even if you spend a lot of time sitting down, your body still burns calories. Brain activity is proven to increase the burning of calories and sugars and you may have noticed that you get hungry quickly after starting an assignment or a task on the computer.

Your liquid intake is included in this 2000 calories. Models Direct think that this is particularly important to remember because a lot of drinks are very calorific or full of unhealthy sweeteners. Popular sweeteners used include aspartame, which has proven catastrophic effects on health in the long term. These must be avoided and the majority of fluids you consume should be water or teas. Stick to regular times, too. Eating after 8pm isn’t great for your digestion and will encourage the body to lay down fat when you sleep.
