Illinois Hair Removal Treatments For Men

Hair removal treatments for men are growing increasingly common as men seek to get rid of unwanted facial or body hair. One of the most prevalent long-term treatments is laser hair removal, which works well for large parts of the body such as the back or legs. It is most conducive to black or brown hair against pale skin. The contrast between the melanin in dark hair and that in light skin makes it easier for the laser to pinpoint the hair follicles. It can be done with lighter hair or darker skin, but the procedure is then more complicated.

Accordingly, you shouldn't tan or go out in the sun before laser hair removal services. A treatment for men usually lasts between three and eight sessions, with a few weeks rest between each session. This gives new hairs a chance to grow in and be targeted and destroyed by the laser. Over the course of the treatment, hair in the area falls away. It usually stays gone for quite some time--years in most cases--and when it does return, it is lighter, thinner, and slower to grow.

NuU Medspa Locations in the Chicago Area Provide Hair Removal Treatment for Men

Laser surgery works well over larger areas like the back and legs. Smaller areas like the face and neck can be treated with electrolysis, because there are fewer hairs involved, but even then, laser services have the benefit of being faster and are much less painful to boot. NuU Medspa, with branches throughout Chicago, offers professional laser hair removal treatment for men and women alike.
