As you may know, male laser hair removal is becoming more and more common, whether it’s because men want a smooth hairless body too, or whether they just want to stop shaving their beards off everyday.

For a report on one mans experiences of laser hair removal, check out this post by Travis Illig.

As he puts it

..even today, it still hurts. Not nearly as bad as it did in my first treatment, but it hurts. On the upper lip it’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Had I known that .. I probably still would have done it. I don’t get the nasty ingrowns like I used to, .. and I can kiss my wife without removing the top layer of her skin with my sandpaper beard.

The Guardian has an interesting article by Clare Marfleet, medical manager at The Private Clinic of Harley Street here in which she talks about her laser hair removal treatment. She had her first treatment six years ago because she was fed up with constant shaving and the skin irritation it caused.

She says that since then, she has only shaved once every 6 months, and any hair regrowth has been very fine . It has given her a big confidence boost and saved lots of time.

Laser Hair Treatment – 10 Things You Must Know About Getting A Good Laser Hair Removal Service

admin — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:12:34 +0000

By Justin Koh

Laser hair removal is supposed to be a safe process, yet dubious claims and inappropriate equipment still lead to scams and injuries. Consumers themselves must know the ins and outs of laser hair removal to prevent themselves from getting cheated. The following points will aid you in making a proper decision to get yourself ready at the clinic.

1. The sensitivity of your skin. A skin can be too delicate to be damaged instead of getting treated. A technology called CoolGlide can treat all known skin types. Consult a professional to examine and discuss over your skin and infection issues prior to treatment.

2. The degree of discomfort. Do not believe in a “no-pain” process. All treatment are bound to make you uncomfortable. However, it’s not anywhere near the whip-lash pain of waxing.

3. The possibility of regrowth. Laser hair removal cannot possibly stop hair growth, though it can reduce growth rate permanently after hair cells are killed. If a practitioner claims to eradicate hair growth completely, you should ask for testimonials and get their proof upfront; it’s in their benefit to tell you their achievement.

4. The cost. Depending on the area size treated, it could amount from US$25 to US$250. You may compare the price ranges of several services to get a good gauge. Ask for outstanding reasons that could factor into the overall cost, particular the overheads for their equipment.

5. Aging equipment. Ask for the type of laser used, whether it is effective, how long the practitioners have used the equipment and if there are newer models. You have a right to know.

6. Multiple treatment plans. It’s quite likely to return for several treatments within 2 weeks, and then another separate session if necessary within a year to eliminate regrowth, but asking you to come back regularly without the fullest and sincere explanation on your case is simply an indication of ineffectiveness. Beware of such tactics that forces you to pay a lump sum in full. You deserve a good laser treatment as it is.

7. Safety measures. Laser, if abused, can cause damaging effects. Check what precautions are taken, like applying a layer of protective cream over the skin or wearing eye goggles.

8. The practitioner. Who is actually doing the treatment? The experienced doctor or some ‘assistant’? Check that the practitioner is trained, qualified and certified to carry out treatments.

9. Ask for a test treatment. This is a simple request which practitioners have no difficulties to fulfill. Cost will still be incurred, but your initial experience with laser hair removal gets you in the know of how a typical treatment works and in tune with the clinical environment.

10. Get written information. Get a written agreement on all obligations, commitment and breakdown of cost from the practitioner to ensure that he stays true to the standard of service provided.

New technique promises less pain

admin — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 22:12:47 +0000

A new laser hair removal technique developed in the US promises less uncomfortable (OK then – less painful!) treatments. It’s common to use either a cooling gel, or in some cases an anaesthetic cream (only under qualified supervision!) co counter the discomfort caused as the hair follicles absorb the laser light and heat up.

The new machine takes a different approach by applying suction to the area being lasered – developer Eric Bernstein says, “Our skin is only allowed to feel one sensation at a time. So we can feel pressure or we can feel pain. Given the choice, we’d all choose pressure. So what this device does is it suctions the skin so we feel a pressure sensation and we can’t feel pain.”

This is the same reason why, when you hurt yourself as a child, your mother “rubbed it better”. The nerve endings in the skin can only respond to one stimulus at once, so you can overcome the pain stimulus by providing a stronger one, such as rubbing a larger area of the skin, or in this case, producing a sensation of pressure.

No news yet as to when or whether this new technique will become available in uk laser hair removal clinics
