We usually associate men’s shaving with the removal of beard stubble and a mustache. However, hair removal from areas other than the face is also becoming increasingly popular among men. Depilation is no longer just a procedure for women. More and more men are starting to take advantage of the offerings of aesthetic medicine clinics that offer laser body hair removal, especially in areas such as the armpits, chest, back and intimate areas.
Find out which parts of the body men undergo hair removal treatments and why hair removal is becoming increasingly popular among men. Learn about laser epilation treatments that will get rid of excess hair from selected parts of the body in a quick, long-lasting and painless way.
Where did the male hair removal trend come from?
Male hair removal is becoming increasingly popular not only for the aesthetics of the various parts of the body, but also for their hygiene. Getting rid of hair contributes to the reduction of unpleasant sweat odor, greater hygiene and cleanliness of the skin. Until now, by far the most popular way to reduce facial hair among men has been to use a razor to get rid of unwanted hair for a short period of time. There are also many products available in drugstores for leg hair removal. These include various types of creams, foams and wax patches. What removal methods are most popular among men?
Methods for hair reduction in men
Shaving is relatively inexpensive and a quick and painless method, but its main drawback is its short-lived nature – the speed of hair regrowth. In addition, shaving very often makes the regrowing hairs darker and harder. It is also associated with a lot of redness and irritation that can occur due to damage to the epidermis. Shaving is also difficult when using this method on body parts such as the back, chest or intimate areas.
Another method for hair reduction is waxing. This is a fairly quick method to get rid of excess hair. This method involves removing hair by applying heated semi-liquid wax to the parts of the body from which you want to get rid of hair. When it solidifies it is plucked out along with the hair and its roots. Wax depilation leaves smooth skin for up to several weeks.
Laser epilation in men
Laser epilation is permanent hair removal. A few treatments can get rid of the problem of unwanted hair. Lasers can be used on both the body and face. For example, Thunder MT facial laser epilation can be performed on the chin, sideburns, or the area between the eyebrows, but also on other parts of the body. This is because Thunder MT also offers epilation of the male bikini area, which includes the groin, sack, testicles and buttock crevice. Its operation is based on the use of three technologies: alexandrite laser (755nm), Nd:YAG (1064nm) and mixed technology (755nm +1064nm). This combination makes it possible to get rid of any type of hair from any skin phototype. Both single and dual laser beams can be used in the treatment. The treatment is completely safe, as the technologies used in the laser minimize the likelihood of burns. It is performed quickly and is painless (as a special Qool-Air cooling system is used to perform it).
Laser epilation is a method to get rid of hair ideal for both men and women. Note, however, that contraindications to its performance may include fresh tan, retinoid therapy, diseases such as diabetes or skin diseases (such as psoriasis or vitiligo), as well as current skin infections or interrupted epidermal continuity at the depilation destination.
