Common Questions and Answers about Laser hair removal for men

If you are a woman who has excess androgens, there are medications that can help stop the growth by correcting the hormonal excess. There probably are side effects but if they are usually minor for most people (if they weren't the drugs wouldn't be on the market). I don't think there is anything to make hair grow shorter permanently.
If you are a man, and you have an excess of androgens, there are probably medications to bring your levels to normal level.
Hello,
There are 5 types of laser hair removal systems. These include pulsed light, Nd YAG laser, diode laser. Alexanderite laser and ruby laser. This depends on the skin type and varies from patient to patient. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for the skin type and then depending on that, laser hair removal can be decided.

You could also try laser hair removal. It's expensive and a bit painful, but it would significantly reduce the amount of hair permanently. It works best for people with darker hair and lighter skin since the laser looks for the color contrast. If you do laser hair removal, you'll probably use a lidocaine cream 30 minutes before the treatment. It basically feels like a rubber band snapping on your skin. Laser hair removal requires several treatments to work.
I frankly don't get it. You're 21 but you don't know about all this? It is PERFECTLY normal to have hair on the base of the penis, on your scrotum, and on your penis shaft. It is also PERFECTLY NORMAL to have that straight line under your penis. All men have it. Unless you have a history of trauma/injury/inflammation under your penis, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Removing the hair on the shaft is totally fine, as long as you're not using hair laser removal.
I'm 13 weeks & I've been wanting to get laser hair removal for my bikini area & have read that it is safe to do. I'm going to ask my doctor just to make sure but was wondering if anyone else has had it done?
Hello,
Folliculitis is common after hair removal. After laser hair removal, apply cold compresses(ice cubes wrapped in a towel) on the rash and take some antihistaminic like benadryl or claritin.You can also apply calamine lotion on the rash. It will help in soothing the skin. Application of topical antibiotics like Neosporin will also help.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Hello,
Laser hair removal is for permanent removal of hair.It needs multiple sessions. Laser hair reduction works by targeting the hair follicle through the melanin in the hair.
Melanin absorbs laser energy and transfers it down to the hair follicles, rendering them ineffective, thus stopping future hair growth.
It is effective for all skin types and the most commonly noticed side effects are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn.
