LASER HAIR REMOVAL: MEN TOO!

Women are not the only ones to be embarrassed by their hair and wanting to get rid of it. 20 to 30% of candidates for laser hair removal permanent are men of all ages and from the twenties.Details and explanations of Dr. Catherine Goursac, aesthetic doctor.

When the hair is due to men, they resort to laser hair removal

Dr. Catherine Goursac: Young people in particular have very poor vision of the hair. They see it as dirty as unhygienic, especially since the mode is currently hairless body. So, do not assume some hairs located in the lower back, shoulders, or when they are too important to the thorax. These three situations represent a high demand for laser hair removal . But there are all sorts of other sites for which men resort to hair removal . The waxing of the inter-brow (between the eyebrows) is for example frequently requested. Those cheekbones, too. Indeed, the beard, which form a necklace, can sometimes go too high on the cheekbones. We can then redraw the beard, and brighten the way down. Some men ask the full beard, but for my part, I refused because I liken it to a form of castration, except for special medical or personal reasons.Some men, older, are bothered by hair on the bridge of the nose and nose.Similarly, there may be hair on the ears, along the cartilage, and sometimes inside the ears. Hands when they are very hairy and unattractive, are also a great demand. We can then easily diminish only hair density without making the skin smooth (hairless). Also use the hair removal very hairy men in whom there is no difference between the beginning of their beard and torso. They want to restore to them a free space in the neck between the beard and torso.Similarly, the laser hair removal can create their free space on the neck, between the hair and back. The buttocks are sometimes also covered with hair.And here, they cause pimples and acne. Other areas of the body are not required.

Applications are they different age?

Dr. Catherine Goursac: The hair of a man goes crescendo with life. A man has more hair at 40 than at 20 and 60 to 40. However, we have applications from all age groups: young men of twenty years, but also in the group 40-60 years.Beyond 60 years, men have generally come to accept their hair, except in places visible and unsightly. Thus they require more inside the nose, nose and ears. But be careful not to expect too much because the white hairs are more accessible to the laser. Things to know also that the skin laser hair removal should not be tanned. So no UV or self-tanner before a meeting. However, we can go in the sun a week after each session or use self-tanners.

What is the advantage of laser hair removal?

Dr. Catherine Goursac: Interest is the definitive disappearance of the hairs.However, all or nothing is not mandatory. It is possible that slightly epilate and thus to clarify just a hairy area, such as the hands. Everything depends on the number of sessions that you realize. For example, if instead of performing 5-6 sessions a year or year and a half, we stop at two sessions, one can reduce the final 30 to 40% the number of hairs. To read: "Medicine anti-aging, "Dr. Catherine Goursac, Hellebore editions.
