How does Vaseline remove unwanted hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are several unconventional methods which use vaseline along with some other kitchen products to remove unwanted hair but there is no scientific proof. Any of these methods may cause minimal removal of hair when scrubed or peeled but it is not a permament solution.

View allI've been reading about the Yellow Peel treatment, and I'm wondering if the effects last permanently or if they're just temporary. Can it really get rid of pigmentation on the face for good?
Effects of Yellow Peel treatment are usually temporary. It can help reduce pigmentation on the face, but the results may not be permanent. To reduce pigmentation permanently, you may consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone or tretinoin, or undergoing laser treatments such as Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.

Can I get my half sleeve tattoo on my left hand removed completely in one go with plastic surgery or something similar If that's possible, how much would it cost If not, what's the shortest time it could take and what's the estimated cost for that
It's unlikely you can remove a half-sleeve tattoo in a single session using plastic surgery or similar methods. Laser tattoo removal is the most common and effective method, but it typically requires multiple sessions. Surgical removal, like skin grafting, can leave scars and is best for larger tattoos
