Hair Removal Men
A lot of men want laser hair removal on their eyebrows - they want to take away that uni-brow look and they want a shaping -- plus they want the area around their ears or the back of the neck cleaned up as well.
But unlike women, for whom hair removal is second nature by junior high school, men often find themselves at a loss for how to deal with excess body hair.
For those men, here's the lowdown on the most common laser hair removal option available today.
Laser Hair Removal Treatments
What It Does:
Using laser light energy to penetrate the hair shaft, it actually kills the hair root. This doesn't kill the follicle (the place where hair growth starts). So technically, another hair can grow in its place, but it's difficult. That means results of laser hair removal last a fairly long time.
​
What Is Best For:
Removing or reducing hair on back, chest, stomach and shoulders. Works best on light skin with dark hair; not suitable for blond or white hair. Black skin responds well to only one type of laser, the Nd: YAG.
​
Lasting Result:
After all laser hair removal treatments are completed, results could be almost permanent, with touch-up treatments annually or biannually to maintain results. Most men utilize laser hair removal for the back, upper arms, and chest and most want it thinned out, not removed something which lasers can easily accomplish.
