Mens laser hair removal

[longislandguy]

I'm hesitant about laser.  I got waxed yesterday and that seems to take care of things for a month, then it's back to shaving.  I would go the laser route, but I DO like the freedom of having hair should I want it.

Here I am 6 or so months later.  I have done 5 laser treatments and have one left in 2 weeks.  The reduction in dark hair is amazing.  I have not shaved for 2-3 months now and while there are a few dark ones growing again, probably 95% are not in any way.  I have been doing electrolysis for the blond/light hairs that have started to show.  This has been a much slower process, but I am seeing improvements on that front too.  So far I have spent about 1200 bucks total using packages to get discounts.  The technician says we should start spreading the remaining treatments further apart as the growth is so much less now.  I am basically planning on once a month until this summer.

 

It is nice to look down and not have to worry about shaving anymore.  The smell is really much less too now at the end of the day.  I used to be very aware of the stale urine smell on warmer days after sitting at my desk working most of the day.  I find that is much less now and that was my real desire.  

While not for everyone, the process, costs and outcome has been really acceptable for me.

I am on round 5 of laser hair removal. My results are best described as this: nine days after my last shave I am left with a light blonde fluff of approximately 1 mm.

Observation: ask the laser hair removal technician to crank up the energy level to the highest you can tolerate. You want the results, so ask for what you need to get them!

Well we are 9 months or so into the journey.  Laser is complete and there are basically no hairs with color that come back.  I do still have some white hairs that are being stubborn so we address those every 5-6 weeks with electrolysis.  This is working well and I think one or two more sessions and it should just be yearly maintenance.  Overall the experience has been good and the cost was reasonable for the outcome I wanted.  about 1500 all said I think.  no more hair from my belly button to the top of my butt crack, and all the way around my waist.

 

If you are considering it, it does seem to work for me and I would recommend.

did they say anything about the energy level? I.E. joules per square cm? I ended up getting one from e-bay and repaired it and I love the results. some hair does grow back and need to be zapped some more but the cost of a non-working one and fixing it. that said it's still a class 4 laser and can do some damage if not used correctly. They work best for light skin and dark hair, dark skin and it can cause burns and one should have glasses that block IR as it's very bright in IR.
