Many men decide to remove chest or leg hair. Why they do that? Just because they need to feel cleaner, and I'm sure you can agree.

First option is to shave it, but this procedure needs to be done almost daily. Using a silk effect razor could be a good choice, but it is still a shaving procedure. Men also can try hair removal creams, but they often irritate the skin. Electrolysis is an effective procedure, but it may cause scarring or infection in many cases.

Currently one of the better options for hair removal is the use of lasers. The major drawbacks are:
1. Possible pigmentation loss of darker skin surrounding the hair follicles.
2. It works better on portions of dark hair.
3. Decision of permanent hair removal vs. permanent reduction.

New technological advances have included the pulsed lasers. They heat more intense the hair follicle than the surrounding area. This situation occurs because the cooling (relaxation) period of hair follicles is longer than that of the surrounding skin. Despite of fact it may not touch every single hair or be permanent, the effect is significant and results last long enough to make it a good option vs. shaving, waxing or electrolysis.

The good news is laser treatment can be used in alternation with other procedures. When the laser is used an area is permanently burned off, another portion is just temporarily removed and the rest is not influenced at all. After 3-4 months of alternative treatment, laser removal can be used again. In the same way, some part of hair is completely killed off, another part is just temporarily removed and another remains untouched. And things can go on.
