Male Hair Removal: All About Male Epilators

Most representatives of the stronger sex are not averse to getting rid of dense and elevated vegetation. For many, the procedure has a hygienic need, since the sebaceous glands in the area of ​​increased dense vegetation emit an unpleasant smell.

Men willingly go to various waxingthat allow you to remove vegetation for a long period. But epilators are especially popular. We will tell you what to do with epilators and how to choose a male model.

Features of male hair removal

An epilator for men is an interesting thing, but not very effective, because it does not give the result that is visible on women. Everything is explained by the difference in hair structure.

Men's body hair is much tougher, grow thicker, and the bulbs are so strong that it is quite difficult to pull them out with an epilator. Even after waxing with complete removal of the bulbs, the hair of the stronger sex grows faster. If female hair removal lasts for three to four weeks, then male hair removal is not more than two weeks.

Men's hair is much tougher, and grow faster than women's

Therefore, the most pronounced effect of hair removal can be obtained only with the use of waxing or shugaring, the epilator simply breaks off most of the hair in the first treatment. Re-hair removal will be much more effective.

It is noted that for hair removal with an epilator, their length should be no more than five millimeters, but not less than three. If women do the procedure regularly, then men prefer to undergo painful treatment only in the summer. As a result, they have to resort initially to reducing the length of the hair. Choose a bikini trimmerto reduce the length of hair in intimate areas. If this is not done, then the epilator will capture neighboring hairs, but not remove them, but only cause pain.

Men's salons are offered by some salons that provide services for the removal of unwanted vegetation. Since the procedure is painful, local anesthesia is used - creams and sprays.

Hair Removal Methods

Hair removal in men occurs in several ways:

• • Shaving is the most common procedure, used primarily to remove facial hair. The disadvantage of this method is a short effect.

Waxing - wax removal of vegetation, can be used in all areas. The procedure copes with dense vegetation. There are three types of hair removal: hot wax, warm and cold. The result lasts for one to two weeks.

Waxing

• Shugaring - sugar hair removal, comparable to wax, but less painful. Allowed for all zones, the most popular option among men. Together with Waxing, it is performed using local anesthesia.
• Chemical hair removal - special creams that destroy the protein structure of the hair. In this case, the removal of the bulbs does not occur, so the effect lasts no more than five to six days.
• Removal with electroepilators is not the most effective procedure, as it is fraught with plucking hair without removing bulbs. As a result, the likelihood of the onset of the inflammatory process of the follicle increases.
• Laser and photoepilation is the most effective procedure, but it has not gained popularity among men, as it requires several sessions and careful adherence to recommendations between them.

Laser or photoepilation is the most painless and effective for removing male vegetation.

Almost all methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Each man chooses on his own what to resort to, provided that it is necessary to remove hair from the chest, back, legs, abdomen and bikini area.

Which epilators give a good effect

A male epilator does not exist in principle - all devices of this kind have the same design, and hair stiffness in this case does not matter for the production of a more “sturdy” device. But when buying, it is recommended to pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Brand of the manufacturer - well-known brands have a mandatory warranty service. In addition, such devices for hair removal are better, but they are more expensive.
• Form and design - the device for a man should be large and without additional female design. For women, you can often find small size epilators - portable universal models, easy to use, designed for a small palm. Men are not suitable for such species. They are recommended when choosing to "try on" the chosen model for their hand.
• Cost - it is better to choose a more expensive model, which can additionally be equipped with auxiliary functions.
  

  Female epilators are smaller in size and area of ​​treatment

• Power - A mobile or network device. It is easier to use mobile phones, especially for men, since the network ones have not such long wires and require sockets.

Epilators for men are often black and large in size. Otherwise, the principle of operation and technical components do not differ.

Advantages and disadvantages, contraindications and precautions

Considering the methods of hair removal for men, you can form the pros and cons, contraindications and precautions. Regarding the use of the epilator, the following advantages can be distinguished:

• lasting effect;
• the possibility of hair removal alone at home;
• lack of need for a long time to prepare the skin;
• availability in acquisition;
• can be used in almost any area - not used to remove vegetation on the face and in the bikini area.

Among the adverse factors, the main ones can be distinguished:

• soreness;
• skin irritation, which is caused in most cases by improper use of the device;

Recommendations for hair removal

Epilation is a simple procedure only at first glance, it is necessary to carefully prepare for it, as well as carry out some actions to avoid possible skin irritation. The recommendations are as follows:

• creams and lotions are forbidden before the procedure - it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the treated areas and wipe dry;
• in addition, you can use a scrub or washcloth - this will help “open” access to the hairs and remove the bulbs as carefully as possible;
• trace the length of the hairs - it should not exceed seven millimeters;
• for the first time it is necessary to use the device at low speeds, this will minimize pain;
• it is necessary to position the epilator so that hair removal occurs against their growth;
• after hair removal, it is recommended to use a special tool against redness and irritation.

After processing, the appliance is washed in accordance with the recommendations in the instructions. Before assembly, parts must be dried.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with selection criteria for electric shavers.
