Permanent Laser Male Body Hair Removal, is the Physique Pictorial Benchmark these days, and as such it is growing in popularity. It Kills the root (Dermal Papilla) that produces the unwanted hairs. It is a relatively new science and is still very much evolving. The cost of treatments vary as do the quality. Not all Lasers are created the same, there are short pulse lasers (ie Rudy ,Alexandrite,and Diode) and there are long pulse lasers like ND Yag.

Once the surface is clipped of hair, chilled with a gel pack, a hand piece delivering 1-2 flashes per second on a 5mm diameter area is passed over the surface, heating the hair shaft to (150-180C) with the heat going down the shaft of the hair and cauterizing the root.Only when hair is in the growing Anagen phase can the root be killed, once the shaft is in the sheading Catagen or resting Telogen phase the root cannot be killed, Hence the need for a treatment 3-4 weeks later to catch the next growing cycle.

All body areas are treatable but the most popular body areas guys are having laser done are the Back and Shoulders, Buttocks and Clef space between the cheeks, Genitals (penis shaft ,scrotum and perineum), Torso, Ears as well as Beard area like the throat where hairs can be prone to ingrown, laser lessens that very well with 2 or 3 sessions, arms and legs are not as popular with men however the hair topography can be thinned if too thick with no Blotchiness, All in a few sessions, depending on the Hormonal levels of the Male client .

Due to the Hair cycle ACT ( Anagen, Catagen, Telogen) a series of 8-10 sessions will be needed, With touch up sessions needed as the body can and will produce new growth especially with progressive years and the changing Hormonal identity of a man. After all we are not made of wood and plaster the body is a forever evolving organism,permanent does not mean smooth as the palm of your hands for the rest of your life, however once a root is killed it does not resurrect itself. Laser is rough on hair but less rough on skin then a waxing. And it is where it is all going to in the realm of renewed self-esteem and Body look.
