Introduction
Women who have excessive leg hair can usually opt for hair removal methods such as depilatory creams, waxing, photonic (light-based) hair removal, or ice-point laser hair removal. It is recommended to seek professional medical institutions for these procedures to avoid skin damage. Women can choose suitable methods according to their individual circumstances. After hair removal, the skin becomes more sensitive and fragile, so intense physical activity and friction should be avoided, and loose, soft clothing is preferred.
