In the mid 70’s, laser hair removal became commercially available, after being performed experimentally for around 20 years prior to that. These days laser hair removal for men is practiced all over the world, providing men with better self-esteem and self-worth after getting rid of hair in “problem” areas.

The mechanics behind laser hair removal is quite simple, actually. A laser, or light in a specific wavelength, is targeted on the dark matter in your skin where the root or follicle of each hair is located. The laser damages this area and this area only, killing the cell that produces the hair. Actually, the laser targets melanin, which gives color to your hair and skin, which means that only brown and black hair can be removed. So no luck for blondies with this procedure.

It used to be that only women had this procedure performed on them, but these days many men are also getting treated with a laser for unwanted hair. Especially laser back hair removal is popular amongst men, who get fed up having to shave their back every 4-7 days

The number of treatments you need to experience “permanent” removal varies from person to person, but you should expect having at least 3-5 treatments before achieving the wanted results.

The costs of laser hair removal are difficult to estimate without visiting a doctor for a quote. Of course, how much hair you need removed will dramatically influence the price, so do the number of treatments. But a rule of thumb is to expect to pay 100-200 dollars per hour. Some people experience mild side effects of the treatments, so remember to ask your doctor about what to expect. Most only experience mild swelling and redness, while others have acne build ups, infections, or mild numbness.
