While it’s true that women are the ones who have laser hair removal procedures performed more often, they aren’t the only gender looking for permanent hair removal.
Today, more and more men are concerned about their looks; not only are they interested in hair removal for men, but skin care products, Botox, fitness and other areas of personal care that used to be geared more toward women.
Why are men interested in removing unwanted hair? Many men have backs that are covered in hair; while a hairy chest can be sexy, a hairy back – well, not so much. Men are looking for permanent hair removal for the back, face, and yes, sometimes even the chest, which is highly popular with bodybuilders who want a sleek, hair-free appearance when competing.
Many athletes also find that working out and performance of their sport is enhanced when excess hair is removed.
Another reason some men have hair removed from particular areas of their bodies today is so that they can have a tattoo – particularly on the arms and back. Tattoos are a huge business today, and many of a certain age (guys and gals) are finding tattoos a great way to express themselves.
Some men today even prefer to have hair removed from their legs. Some procedures that are used by many men include shaving, waxing, laser hair removal, depilatory creams such as Neet or Nair, even electrolysis. While it used to be “masculine” to have a lot of body hair (and still is for some), today there are men who simply want a neat, smooth appearance.
