Hair Removal For Men？

Laser hair removal for men is becoming evermore popular. In 2003 it was the second most sought after non-surgical cosmetic treatment sought by men and has been gaining popularity every year after that. Even for back then, you might be surprised to know that about 1 fourth of the ‘laser hair removal’ population were men. Over the years male laser hair removal has become safer and more dependable. Advancements in technology has made it a permanent solution for those that just don’t like all the hair.

Consider the alternates:

Waxing is a hair removal trend for men that involves spreading hot wax onto the area where you want to eliminate hair, and then applying a strip of cloth or muslin onto the desired area, rubbing it, and ripping off the strip in one fell swoop — wax, hair, root, and all. Waxing is effective in that the results generally last for three to four weeks but is a never-ending process.

Shaving presents the obvious problem of reach, it’s nearly impossible to shave your own back, and it can be even more frustrating and embarrassing to find someone to do the job for you.

Electrolysis involves inserting a needle into one hair follicle at a time, destroying each with an electrical current. Electrolysis is more for those with blond hair or dark skin. In these cases, electrolysis may work.

Tweezing - Well, I think I would give up after half an eyebrow.

As you can see, none of these are long lasting and are very time consuming. Only laser hair removal for men provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair.

Male laser hair removal used to be only effective for those of light skin and dark hair. While this is still the most successful type of candidate, even the fair haired and red head can enjoy the benefits. The primary areas that are treated with laser hair removal for men include the shoulders, back, chest, and face. And sense you’re thinking it all ready - Yes, the private areas also. When some one says “full Brazilian” your first thing that might come to mind is women, but more and more men are getting it done also whether it is for there woman or as a couple to spice up the sex life. So with that said, your second thought might be “OUCH!” but like stated earlier, advancements in technology has made laser hair removal for men virtually painless and does not require anesthesia or pain medication.

Male laser hair removal is done the same way as its done to a woman, by a cosmetic surgery professional in a medical facility. The area that is being treated will determine how long the session will last. The shoulders may take 10 minutes while the whole back might take an hour. The area will be shaved and cleaned. The doctor will then apply a topical anesthesia or cooling cream before using the laser instrument. Light pulses will then be blasted into hundreds of hair follicles at the same time. The heat form the laser will damage the roots and cause the hare to fall out in a matter of days. Even then, depending on the area and coarseness of the hairs, you are looking at an average of 6-10 visits. Each visit might set you back anywhere from $300 to the $700 mark, but if your going to shell out that kind of money anyway, this is not an area you should go skimping on.

Mild redness and swelling on the treated area for a few days is about the only side effect of laser hair removal for men during which time you are advised to avoid exposure to the sun for best results. In the long run laser hair removal is the most cost effective method of permanently getting rid of unwanted hair, and the best advice I can give is that you seek a highly qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon. They may charge more per treatment, but it will take few treatments to get the job done and they will do it right.
