Ready to rid yourself of the hair on your arms, back, chest and places, shall we say, south of the border? The number of men wanting hairless bodies has zoomed, says Eliot Battle, J., MD, a Washington, DC, dermatologist and laser surgeon. "The look of the hairy beast is no longer the norm." some options for guys:
Laser hair removal is a long-lasting way to zap the fuzz, but it hurts a bit and isn't cheap: $2000 to $7200 for six to eight treatments. It can take up to two hours a session. Waxing, at up to $200 a session, is effective but painful (think Steve Carell in the 40-Year-Old Virgin), requires visits every six weeks and raises the risk of ingrown hairs. With electrolysis, a tiny needle is stuck into each follicle, zapping it with a low current of electricity and killing hair. It's slightly uncomfortable, costs $60 to $90 a session and is best for small areas (groin, eyebrows) since it can take months to render a spot hair-free.
For the man who wants to shed in private: the Philips Norelco Bodygroom ($40). Our tester said the shaver-like device worked well but left him with some stubble.
