Types of male hair removal and the rules for preparing for it

Epilation is a popular cosmetic procedure. Recently, not only women, but also men began to resort to it. The essence of this process is that during the session, hair is removed from the body along with follicles. Accordingly, it is worth resorting to this operation if you want to get rid of hair in a particular area forever. Not every young person knows that today there are several different types of hair removal. In addition, to obtain the desired result, it is not enough just to carry out the procedure, it is also important to properly prepare for it.

Despite the generally accepted and widespread opinion, hair removal is needed not only for women, but also for men. It should be borne in mind that the male procedure will differ slightly from the female one. The main features of male hair removal include several characteristics.

• High level of soreness. First of all, this is due to the fact that men's hair has a different structure - it is thicker and denser. However, it is also worth considering that the more often epilation sessions are carried out, the faster the pain will decrease.
• High frequency. Men need to epilate more often than women. The thing is that men's hair is restored much faster than women's.
• The need for professional help. In order to correctly and effectively carry out the first epilation procedure, experts advise young people to contact special beauty salons. Despite the fact that for many reasons, home hair removal may be preferable for some people, the help of a specialist will save you from fatal mistakes that can later have a negative impact on health in general.

Most men resort to hair removal for hygienic and aesthetic reasons. Consider the main areas of the male body where hair removal is most often recommended.

• Armpits. This area is considered one of the most popular and common for hair removal. The cosmetic procedure performs both hygienic and aesthetic functions at the same time. So, the processes of perspiration are significantly reduced, respectively, the unpleasant odor is eliminated. In addition, many young people feel uncomfortable in T-shirts or T-shirts without epilation in the armpit.
• Back and shoulders. Despite the fact that many men, refusing to carry out the epilation procedure, justify this by the fact that the presence of hair on the body of a representative of a strong half of humanity looks as courageous as possible, this cannot be said about the vegetation on the back. The same goes for the shoulders.
• Chest and abdomen. For the most part, those men who play sports at a professional level resort to epilation of the chest and abdomen. Usually this is due to the fact that the relief is better visible on smooth skin, and chest hair significantly interferes with the view. In addition, epilation of the abdomen is relevant in the warm season, when many young people go to the beach or the pool.
• Face. If a young man does not plan to grow a beard (or cannot do this for some hygienic reason), then facial hair removal is relevant for him.In addition, to make the general image of a man look as neat and tidy as possible, you can remove hair from the nose and ears. Partial eyebrow hair removal is also popular.
• Intimate area. Hair removal in the intimate area is mostly driven by hygiene rather than aesthetic preferences.

Male hair removal can be done using a variety of tools and devices (for example, using an epilator or gel). In addition, experts identify several types of male hair removal (one of the most popular is the Brazilian variety). Let's consider the most popular ways to remove hair from the male body.

As the name suggests, hair removal with this method is carried out using a specially designed device, such as a photoepilator. Every young person should remember that there are a number of contraindications to this cosmetic procedure, namely:

• pronounced tan;
• skin trauma (of any type and type);
• high sensitivity of the skin to light;
• diseases such as neurodermatitis, psoriasis, autoimmune diseases and others.

Accordingly, before carrying out this procedure, it is imperative to consult a doctor. In addition to contraindications, there are certain rules for preparing for the procedure. For example, it is recommended to use sunscreen for several weeks before the actual photoepilation. After the procedure has been completed, there is a ban on the use of peels, alcohol cosmetics, bathing and sports (for 14 days).

Laser hair removal (compared to photo hair removal) is the more common and popular method for removing unwanted hair from the male body. The distinctive properties of this procedure include:

• universal character (meaning that the laser method can remove hair from any area of ​​the skin);
• high efficiency (after several procedures, you can get rid of unwanted vegetation forever);
• painlessness (during the procedure, you will not feel any discomfort);
• harmlessness (laser hair removal does not have a negative effect on human health).

On the other hand, it is necessary to take into account the fact that due to the large number of advantages, the laser hair removal procedure is quite expensive. Accordingly, this method is not suitable for every person (in this regard, it is necessary to focus on your financial situation).

Electrolysis is not popular among men. This is due to several factors:

• strong pain;
• inability to use for hair removal in the intimate area.

However, at the same time, of all the above, this method is considered the cheapest. Alternatively, electrical hair removal can be done at home. Thus, the most common and popular method for removing hair from the male body is laser hair removal. However, if the financial situation does not allow resorting to this method, then an electric epilator can be used (it must be remembered that its use causes significant discomfort).Photoepilation (even though it is carried out by professionals) has a large number of contraindications, respectively, it is also not acceptable for everyone.

If you decide on epilation, it is important to remember that this cosmetic procedure will require preparation from you (and it does not matter if you are going to carry it out at home or in a beauty salon with the help of a professional). Generally speaking, preparatory measures are aimed at minimizing possible negative effects (for example, inflammation, redness, irritation, and other discomfort).

The main preparatory activities include:

• a ban on being in the sun for several days before the direct procedure;
• a ban on visiting solariums, saunas, baths and swimming pools;
• mandatory use of peels and scrubs a few days before hair removal;
• a ban on the use of any cosmetic products on the day of the procedure;
• at the time of epilation, the length of the hairs should be about 0.5 cm.

In addition (in the event that you resort to the help of a specialist), it is important to find a qualified and professional person with extensive experience. Accordingly, it is recommended to contact a proven beauty salon, having studied the reviews of its customers in advance.

As mentioned above, it is better to contact an experienced professional for epilation (especially when it comes to the first epilation). However, for many men, visiting beauty salons is accompanied by discomfort and inconvenience. Accordingly, they prefer self-hair removal at home, which does not always lead to the desired result.

A compromise in this situation can be a call to the master at home. Today, many beauty salons provide a similar service. Thus, you can receive professional and qualified advice from a specialist, as well as experience all the benefits of an effective procedure. At the same time, the epilation itself will take place in the comfort of your home, which will make it more convenient and eliminate psychological and emotional discomfort.

In order for the effect of the epilation carried out to be preserved for a long time, as well as to restore the skin after the hair removal procedure, it is necessary to adhere to a few simple rules of care:

• after the procedure, you should not be in the sun for several days;
• during the week, you can not visit baths and saunas, as well as take hot baths;
• the area where the hair removal was carried out must not be mechanically influenced (for example, you cannot rub the skin with a washcloth);
• it is recommended to use special cosmetic products that prevent hair ingrowth;
• scrubs and peels can be used only a week after hair removal.

We were able to make sure that hair removal is not an exclusively female procedure. Often men also resort to removing unwanted body hair.
