Men put in efforts on their appearance. Some men are uncomfortable with body hair and they look for various hair removal techniques to get rid of them. The most commonly known hair removal techniques for men are waxing and laser treatments. However, there are other options available, and the best of them are as follows:

1. Electrolysis
This is a permanent hair removal technique for men. It is a procedure wherein a very thin needle is used to penetrate into each unit of the hair shaft to pass electricity shocks to the hair follicle. This delivery from the system ends up killing the hair manufacturing cells permanently. As a result, there will be no hair growth in that region after the treatment. The duration taken for each electrolysis treatment is just between 10-20 minutes. However, if you are looking to groom a larger area, then the course of treatments can easily be a year.

The schedule for the treatment is planned on a weekly basis so that each region is thoroughly covered. The total time taken will usually be estimated by the experts based on various factors including the thickness of the hair in that region. This is a great mode of treatment and the only actual treatment you can rely on for a permanent solution as part of your grooming. However, you would need a lot of patience since the region covered in each session would be small. If this removal technique is used for removal fo genital hair, a local anesthetic would be prescribed as it is a painful procedure for many. The average cost for this treatment will be about $40.

2. Shaving
This is more of a temporary solution when you want a hair removal technique for men for periodic purposes. These instruments carry blades on hinges which are built on long handles. This allows for a person to use the instrument as a back scrub brush and shave off the hair on the back easily during a shower. It is best suited only for grooming areas of hair on the back, buttocks, or shoulder. You can use this to shave your genital areas but is not advised since the blades are quite sharp and can cut easily. The average time taken to use a back shaver and groom will range anywhere between 20-60 minutes.

The overall cost of the instrument and all essentials from shaving cream to blades will be around $40. However, this hair removal technique will last only for a couple of days to two weeks. One needs to be careful and learn the technique of shaving when using these instruments because there is always a risk of ingrowth of hair which can cause infections in some cases. Practicing hygiene with the blades is important to ensure that your skin is not affected. There is also the possible risk of cutting yourself if you are not careful. One pro tip is to wet the hair before you shave it, and also shave in the direction of the hair growth to make the process easier. One popular misconception is that shaving causes the hair to grow back double or thicker, which is completely false. You can also use aftershave creams to soothe the skin.
