Perminant Male Hair Removal

If you have hair growth afflictions like hypertrichosis or hirsutism, or hair is just growing in locations where you wished it did not, there are many very effective hair removal options available today. There are essentially two types of hair removal processes.

1) 'Perminant' procedures aim to eliminate unwanted hair permanently. Sometimes these methods can be semi-permanent and require the process to be repeated over a period of time.

2) Temporary hair removal techniques work for for a limited time and are subject to the body's normal hair growth cycle.

 Many modern women handle hair removal as part of their daily routine. Ladies shave their underarms and legs, form their eyebrows, and have their pubic hairs trimmed or removed to take advantage of today's fashion styles. Men to a lesser degree also shave their body hair for cosmetic puposes, and almost all males shave their faces and necks unless they are purposely growing a beard, goatee, or moustache. There are always medical reasons for removing hair and just plain old 'because I felt like it' reasons too.

Electrolysis treats every hair follicle separately by introducing a needle into the follicle of the hair and applying an electric charge. This procedure can be lengthy dependent upon the dimension of the area being treated. These treatments can be somewhat painful, and side effects can include infection and scarring occasionally. Expenditures for this treatment can be as high as $1,000 to $3,000 for the pubic area or legs.

Laser hair removal is an FDA approved treatment that is best performed by a licensed and trained medical professional. Though this process is somewhat complex essentially, a concentrated laser beam is used to destroy the hair follicles. The treatment is a relatively painless procedure which works best on persons with light skin and dark hair. People with a deep tan should not consider this procedure. Expect an outlay of about $1,000 for the removal of hair on the face, and a range from $2,000 to $3,000 for hair removal from the legs and pubic area.

Similar to the Laser treatment above, this FDA approved Pulsed Laser procedure uses a pulsed light beam to get rid of the hair follicles. This newer procedure is highly effective for getting rid of hair from the more sensitive underarms and the bikini zone. This advanced procedure eliminates any restrictions regarding skin color, tanning, or color of hair. Outlays for this procedure are from $500 to $2,000 and up, depending upon the area of the body treated.

Temporary hair removal methods include a number of hair removal creams, shaving, pulling, waxing, and more exotic procedures. What a unique contradiction. While millions of balding and hair thinning people are investing billions of dollars to develop new hair, make it shiny and healthy, or have it cut just right, the rest of us are sending our money seeking to get rid of it!
