After regular waxing or use of depilatory devices, it is said that the hair comes back finer and is less painful to remove over time.
Hair removal, if done at all, should be done immediately preoperatively and using clippers or depilatory agents (Mangram et al. 1999, Fletcher et al. 2007).
They do this by avoiding the use of agents.
Research indicates that occasional use of topical depilatories or waxes as well as hair-bleaching products should not negatively affect your baby.
The dorsal chest and neck regions of the mice were treated with a topical depilatory agent to avoid air becoming trapped in the fur and in preparation for the placement of the sensor over the carotid region.
In order to prevent fur from interfering with the fluorescent signal, C57BL/6 and PROX1+/− mice were clipped and a depilatory agent (Nair, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., Princeton, NJ) was used to remove residual hair 24 hr before fluorescence imaging.
NIRF imaging occurred 3 days prior to implantation and again at up to 21 days post-implantation (p.i .. Since optical imaging is impacted by fur, mice were clipped and a depilatory agent (Nair, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., Princeton, NJ) was used to remove residual hair 24 hr before NIRF imaging.
The abdominal hair was removed from the pregnant dam with a topical depilatory agent.
Shaving with clippers or removing fur with a depilatory agent can go some way towards minimizing this problem.
Immediately after mice were killed by cervical dislocation, the shaved dorsal skin was treated for 5 min with a depilatory agent, rinsed under running water, excised, and placed in ice-cold Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM).
