Male Permanent Hair Removal

There are very few effective male permanent hair removal treatment options. There are plenty of temporary methods, which include sugaring, waxing, depilatories, and shaving. Each of these methods has its own drawbacks, with daily or monthly upkeep being the most pressing. The only current options that offer permanent and semi-permanent hair elimination are laser treatments and electrolysis.

Comparing Male Permanent Hair Removal Methods

Electrolysis removes hairs one by one through the insertion of a needle or probe directly in each hair follicle. The follicle is then damaged by being superheated or exposed to a caustic material. While electrolysis can result in male permanent hair removal, it can be very time-consuming. Men who interested in removing back or leg hair may want to avoid electrolysis, as the sheer number of visits needed to see results would be very costly.

The second option for male permanent hair removal is laser treatment. Laser treatments offer faster and more comfortable results. The lasers used in this treatment are able to target the dark hair follicles while avoiding the lighter toned skin. The follicle is then damaged, as in electrolysis, preventing or limiting future hair growth. More than one session is usually needed to get ideal results, but sessions themselves are quite brief, ranging from 15 to 120 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

Laser hair removal methods can reduce hair by as much as 40 to 80 percent (as determined by hair count). While some individuals require yearly touch-ups to maintain a smooth, hair-free look, the ease of this treatment method has made it more desirable for many men.
