Hair Removal For Men

Many men would like to have less hair on their body and achieve areas of thinner hair or complete removal altogether. There are a number of techniques that can be employed to achieve successful hair removal for men, from simple shaving to removal by laser hair treatment.

Shaving, trimming and tweezing : these are the most widespread hair removal techniques. Although hair removal using these methods is very temporary, simply cutting or pulling out body hairs does deliver quick and easy removal.

Threading : this is a traditional Asian technique and involves rolling a thin strip of twisted cotton over the hair removing rows at a time. Although threading can temporarily remove hair from large areas of skin it can be a painful hair removal technique.

Waxing and Sugaring : this is the application of layers of hot wax or sugared paste and their subsequent removal using cloth strips. This method offers suitable hair removal for men with sensitive skin and can result in hair not growing back for a number of weeks.

Depilatory Cream : also called \"hair removal cream\" this substance can be applied to the body and destroys the proteins in the root of the hair making it easy to remove.

Electrolysis : this technique utilises a very fine probe that applies an electric current to the hair follicle strong enough to damage the cells that produce hair. It can result in long-term hair removal although a number of sessions are required.

Laser Hair Treatment : this method of hair removal for men can be very painful, time consuming and expensive.

Square Intense Pulse Light Removal : A virtually painless, very affordable alternative to Laser Hair Treatments. The Or-Light machine at the Hairfree Centre can treat a full back area in about 30 minutes.
