The latest in male grooming is to get rid of unwanted hair. The good news is that there's never been a better time to use safe and effective hair removal techniques.
You can effectively remove hair from all over your body without any pain or embarrassment. Keep hair where it belongs – on your head—and fight unwanted hair on the back, chest, shoulders, and feet.
With that in mind, here are some effective hair removal methods to consider.
The latest hair removal methods that use technology are laser hair removal methods and electrolysis.
Laser Hair Removal
Using laser light is a fast, safe and effective hair removal method. You won’t need to suffer through painful waxing to permanently banish unwanted hair. You can also say goodbye to awkward waxing and depilatory creams. No chemicals. No heat. No pain.
Using this easy, painless, and fast way to remove unwanted hair, hair stays gone for weeks or months.
A laser hair removal treatment is ideal for removing unwanted facial hair, body hair, and any other stray hairs that show up on your face or body.
Laser treatments typically last between six and eighteen months, which is much longer than more painful or uncomfortable hair removal methods.
Electrolysis
This scientifically proven treatment is a high-tech alternative to laser hair removal. The procedure is fast and convenient, with the root of the hair being removed permanently from your skin with a fine probe inserted right into the hair follicle.
This pain-free process works by causing the hair-producing cells to destroy themselves so that no more hair can grow. This solution works for large areas like the chest and back and smaller problem areas like ears and the nape of the neck.
This procedure is the most permanent of all hair removal methods. It takes between four and eight treatments to remove hair from an individual area.
Unlike other treatments, there's no downtime required with electrolysis, and it won't leave you with stubble after your treatment. A treatment takes less than an hour and after a few treatments, hair loss is permanent so you can get on with your life
Electrolysis is the only form of hair removal apart from the laser that's not painful, suitable for the entire body, and makes slightly different use of laser technology to provide superior results.
While high-tech methods that use laser technology like laser hair removal and electrolysis hair removal methods are safe, painless, and effective, they have one downside—they are expensive and are best done in a clinical setting with a skilled beauty technician rather than something you could do on your own.
Full body treatment for laser hair treatment is around $400 while an electrolysis treatment is about $100 for every 30 minutes.
Three old-fashioned methods that you can use to remove hair are waxing, hair removal creams, and shaving.
Waxing
Waxing is often too painful to do on your own, and it’s best to go to an expert familiar with the least painful way to strip away the wax.
To take it easy on your skin, exfoliate beforehand to make sure you won't get any ingrown hairs. A gentle exfoliation will remove dead skin cells before waxing so there’s less chance of irritation afterward.
While small areas on the body and face such as eyebrows can be done at a salon, larger areas such as legs, arms, and chest should only be undertaken by a trained professional.
There are two types of waxing: hard wax and soft. Hard wax is applied to the desired area using a spatula that has been warmed to body temperature before being applied from top to bottom in one swift movement. Soft wax has been heated until it becomes liquid and is poured over the desired area.
The good news is waxing is no longer as painful as it used to be. It’s now a sophisticated, procedure when done by a professional. Experts use a meticulous process for removing hair from your face and body. They know what the best procedures are for different areas of the body.
Hair Removal Creams
Since these are wax-free, they are more gentle on the skin. Small areas are easy to cover while larger areas are a little more challenging as they can result in skin irritation.
A high-quality chemical product will leave your skin feeling smooth. Now is not the time to buy the cheapest brand. The process can be done on your own, without the need for a beautician. However, it’s important to follow all directions exactly to avoid leaving the cream or gel on for too long.
Shaving
While an electric shaver works well on the face, it doesn’t do well on large areas with dense hair, like chest and legs, or hard-to-reach areas. So, shave with a razor blade.
Shaving is of the easiest ways to get rid of unwanted hair. It’s quick, simple, and easy to maintain.
Use a shaving stick and blade with an ergonomic design that allows you to reach various places without risking nicks or cuts. The shaving head should be able to pivot a little so you don't miss any spots. Blades should be made of stainless steel for a smooth, close shave.
Shaving is the easiest, least expensive way to remove that stubble. You can reach areas like the neck or underarms with ease.
The best and safest way for men to remove unwanted hair is to use high-tech methods. You won’t need to shave or wax anymore and you can say goodbye to ingrown hairs, bumps, redness, and other irritating complications. However, if using an old-fashioned method, use the best products, and, if possible, hire a professional to do it for you.
