Electrolysis for Men: Breaking Stereotypes
Just like women, many men don’t like hair on their bodies. The difference is that hair removal methods are primarily marketed towards women. This has led to the societal belief that cosmetic services are only for women and that only women care about their looks. There is the stereotype that for men to be ‘macho’ or ‘manly,’ and not invest on their looks. The fact is that men do care about style and looking their best. More and more men are turning to cosmetic services like electrolysis to improve their physical appearance, boost self-confidence, and reveal their true selves.
Hair Removal for Men
It’s completely normal for both sexes to be sensitive about hair. Many of us just want to look our best for ourselves and our partners. Whether in business or social settings, many men enjoy the feeling of a well-groomed appearance.
Common Treatment Areas for Men
For men, hair can appear in all sorts of places and be incredibly embarrassing if it’s thick, dark, or full of ingrown hairs. The typical facial areas of treatment include:
- Neckline
- Ears: Ears are a problematic or simply unattainable area to shave or pluck. This is a more commonly treated area for older men.
- Eyebrows: Eyebrows are simple to shape and easy to remove unwanted hair in the middle of the brow.
- Beards: Beards commonly harbor aggravating ingrown hairs and other skin irritations that come with shaving. Electrolysis can treat these conditions.
Benefits of Electrolysis
Imagine not plucking or shaving these areas ever again. Though shaving is easy, it is a highly time-consuming maintenance method that only yields temporary results. Not to mention, shaving dramatically increases the risk of ingrown hairs. It removes hair with electrolysis and results in a clean, smooth, and polished look that is permanent.
Other Common Treatment Areas
Other areas commonly treated for men include:
- Back
- Chest
- Hairline
- Shoulders
Suitable for All Hair Types
Every type of hair is a candidate for electrolysis regardless of skin color, hair color, hair thickness, or hair direction (curly or straight). The length of treatment depends on the amount of hair, previous use of hair removal methods, and other factors such as stress or genetics. Typical treatments range from 15 minutes to one hour, depending on the treatment area.
