You may find it hard to believe, but one thing many of my male clients ask me about is body-hair removal. Generally, in the male mind, depilation is best reserved for women, professional cyclists, swimmers and drag queens. Even in the playground, the first signs of body hair are the making of a man among his peers. However, think of unquestionably too-furry men such as Burt Reynolds and David Hasselhoff, and no more needs to be said.

How much hair is too much? Well, things are starting to change. How often nowadays do you see a hairy Premiership footballer? There are even several noticeably smooth rugby players. The Daniel Craig version of James Bond is markedly less hairy than the Sean Connery one. Being groomed is now far more acceptable, and fuzz removal for men is something women seem to be embracing. When questioned, most women say they find their other half’s excess hair unattractive, but only a few are prepared to confront them, lest they hurt their feelings. (Read the article)

Pubic hair removal has been the least discussed topics in the hair removal arena. With the latest trend of being hairless removal of pubic hair has found its new meaning.

Pubic hair has suddenly started loosing its privacy. With the introduction of latest products and the trend to remain hairless being the key, women of today are on the look out for products that can make them get rid of pubic hair. If you form part of the lot and want to join the new hairless brigade, you need not feel embarrassed. Instead, opt for one of the hair removal methods that suit you and just go for it.

Hair removal from the genital area is relatively new to modern Western Culture. In Australia, the practice of waxing or shaving the pubic area did not become common until the 1990s. In a study carried out by Basow and Braman, a large number of participants, who were randomly assigned to watch a video-recording of the same bikini-clad woman either with or without visible body hair, judged the woman as less attractive, intelligent, sociable, happy, and positive when hairy than when hairless.

The introduction of Brazilian wax brought a revolution in pubic hair removal. The Brazilian wax originated in Brazil for women wanting to wear the then-new thong bikinis. The ‘Brazilian- involves removing pubic hair from the mons pubis, labia and the Bikini line. Some hair may be left on the mons pubis depending on individual patient preference. Getting a ‘Brazilian- was popularized on shows such as Sex and the City and within the past three years is as commonly advertised by beauty therapists and medical laser hair removal clinics as compared to other more traditional beauty and cosmetic treatments. Removal of pubic hair has been gaining acceptance worldwide. (Read the article)

We blog lots about Hair Removal on our blog, however, sometimes we fail to consider the side effects or the negatives of this procedure. Here is a great article that we found on Keep The Doctor Away - that presents another side to the laser hair removal argument. Here is the article:

Almost two fifths of people thinking about having cosmetic treatments consider cost to be the most important factor in their decision and only 14 per cent consider the risks, according to research from Which?

But, with around 3,000 unlicensed and unregulated providers of laser hair removal in the UK a lot of people could damage their skin if they don’t properly research the practitioner they intend to use. Having laser hair removal treatment while being tanned or just before going out in the sun can cause burning, scarring, blisters or changes in skin colour. (Read the article)

Tired of your boring and edgy razor to get rid of unwanted hair? Those sticky depilatory creams don’t excite you anymore when it comes to hair removal? Try this. It’s new and inviting. It’s the diode laser hair removal technique. As one of the permanent hair removal treatments, it is effective and with long lasting results. The technique is also called Diode Laser Epilation. In this hair removal system, a high power semiconductor diode laser beam is used for removal of unwanted hair in a permanent manner. The diode laser beam acts on the roots of the hair. Energy packets called photons destroy the follicles thus eliminating the possibility of hair to grow again.

One need not feel apprehensive before opting for diode laser hair removal. A visit to the dermatologist will clear all your doubts. He will make you undergo a skin type check on a Fitzpatrick scale and if your type is 1-5, you qualify for it. Generally, most people fit in this scale. (Read the article)

Here are some top sources online to find a laser hair removal specialist in your local area. The sites listed below are for the United States and Canada. We highly recommend that you start with the Yellow Pages sites in your local areas, especially when you are looking for a Laser Hair Removal Practitioner. Don’t get us wrong, search engines are the best source when you are at the stage of researching the process, however, it is our experience that the Yellow Pages sites offer more indepth local information than the search engines do.

Ironically enough, both Google and Yahoo in Canada and the US throw a lot of traffic to the Yellow Pages sites - which I think validates my recommendation. Anyway here are 7 suggestions for either Canadians or Americans to start their hunt.

YellowPages

In Canada - we suggest that you use YellowPages.ca - here is a list of Laser Hair Removal in Canada - then select refinement by city.

In the US - we suggest that you start your search with SuperPages.com or YellowPages.com - both are good sites.

Search Engines

We also suggest that you use Google Maps Canada or Google Maps US and for Yahoo we suggest Yahoo Local Canada and Yahoo Local US.

The number of men electing to get cosmetic surgery increased by 44 percent from 2000 to 2005. Many reported they saw a big difference in their wives’ appearances, and then decided to get surgery themselves. Another reason some men give for choosing to get surgery is to keep up with the young men in their offices. Other men might decide to get surgery when re-entering the dating pool after a divorce. The most popular plastic surgery procedures among men are:

Botox – 313,519 men elected this non-surgical procedure in 2005, a 233-percent increase from 2000. The average price in the United States for this procedure is $363.
