I want this hair out of my way!

There many men who may not necessarily the hair removed completely but at least they are looking to have it thinned out on some areas like their backs and chests. And so there a good number of men who are going to places that we thought were meant for women to have their hair trimmed and removed. Today there men who go to have the eyebrows waxed and even have them shaped.  They also want the area around their ears and back of the neck cleared of hair as well. You may not believe this but then some men are even going for the bikini procedures were have been a female only zone for such a long time.

But then unlike women, men find themselves at loss on how to deal with unwanted hair that seems to have become excessive in the body. And for those men who have become conscious then there a few options available that the can use with a lot of satisfaction.

Hair Removal Option No. 1: Laser Hair Removal Treatments

Here the therapist uses a laser light to go through the hair shaft killing the hair at the root. However it does not kill the follicle so that another hair will grow again to replace the dead one. This means that laser removal will last a long time.  The laser procedure takes about 30 minutes and up to 8 treatments may be required.  This method is best recommended for getting rid of hair on the chest, back, stomach, shoulders, and the genital area. It works best on light skin with black hair but not for blond or white hair.  After all the treatments are completed it could be said that the results are permanent with an annual or biannual retouch to maintain results.

Hair Removal Option No. 2: Waxing

A soy waxes and creamy lotions are the tool of trade here as the wax is applied and adheres to the hair only. Strips of specifically made clothes are then layered over the cream. When the mixture dries up in just a few minutes the cloth is removed and it comes out with the hair, just like that. This process takes anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour depending on the area that is being waxed. It is best recommended for eyebrow shaping, unibrow, hair on the ears and neck, legs, underarms and arms. While waxing is also good for the genital area, it can be a little painful so you may want to try it on other parts of the body first so you know what you will be in for. The results will last about six weeks before you require another similar treatment.

Hair Removal Option No. 3: Electrolysis

By using a very slim needle to penetrate each individual hair shaft, this system delivers tiny shocks of electricity to the hair follicles and kills the cells that actually make the hair. Once the cell has been killed it is gone and no hair will grow there again. The process is a relatively quick one as it will take some 10 to 20 minutes but if you are looking forward to remove a lot of hair then it can take such along time. The hair is treated one at a time so you can do your calculation and discover.

Electrolysis works well for hair removal in almost all areas where there is hair but because of it is a time consuming process it is normally used for small areas such as brows and neck areas. If it used to remove genital hair then some local anesthesia can help though many men find it painful to treat this area. Any results that are acquired here tend to permanent.

Hair Removal Option No. 4: Back Shavers

This method works with blades that are about one and a half inches wide and are hinged on handles that are about one foot long. These special razors allow you to actually shave your back and shoulders in much the sane way you use a back scrub during your shower. This style works best for the area around the back, shoulders and buttocks. It is also possible to shave the pubic are but it is not recommended since any cut in this region could have some serious complications. This process may take between 20 minutes and one hour.

Hair Removal Option No. 5: Depilatories/cream hair removers

There will be a chemical compound suspended in a gel or a cream base and it works by attacking the proteins in the hair and dissolves them. The result is that the hair will loosen and fall out immediately. This method is best suited for the back, chest, arms, and legs. The skin around the brow and the genitals may be too sensitive for this method of removing hair. The process will take about 30 to 60 minutes although the compound is left on the skin for roughly 5 minutes only. The results will always last about a week or just a few weeks or so.

So men there we are. We can actually get rid of excess hair in very simple and affordable ways. It looks like women have gone ahead of us in this particular area and it is us who are doing the catching up lately. Many dermatologists will suggest that for many of these procedures you may want to try, it would be prudent to try a small area first to see how your skin will react, especially those that have to do with any chemicals.  So let’s take up the challenge and present ourselves cleaner and hair less.
