equinox Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 One thing I've always wished to be rid of is body hair. I'm not at all a "hairy" guy but what little I do have I would really feel better being rid of. I've tried waxing but I consider it utter agony and shaving just makes things worse in the long run. To this effect, I'm considering laser hair removal. Now I don't' have the money to go to a salon to get it done but I see that argos have the following product... link removed The problem I foresee with this thing is that it could just be a total waste of 150 euro. I'm just wondering if anyone has used any of these things and if so, have they had success with them. I wouldn't mind buying it if it worked. Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why would you want to get rid of body hair? Back hair I can understand, but chest hair...I think it is manly and sexy when a man has chest hair vs no chest hair. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Laser removal isn't 100% , it's extremely expensive not to mention pretty painful and the hair still grows back.. so in my opinion it is mostly a huge waste of money. Just wax it or shave it off. Oh and doing it yourself? ARE YOU CRAZY?? you can do serious damage to your skin. Link to comment
equinox Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've no back hair (thank god!). The reason I want to get rid of it is just because I think it looks better. Not so much chest but pubic hair and stomach. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 *Pubic hair and you really don't want to do an at home laser treatment on such a sensitive area.. Link to comment
Jelina Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why don't you just by yourself an epilator instead of spending so much money on laser. You can get a good epilator for like $84. I have one I use it on my legs. It hurts but it's not as bad as waxing, and the hair grows back thinner. I tried waxing my legs once and it hurt like hell. I know a guy who epilates his face, he puts this numbing cream on it and then rubs it off before he epilates. When he removes the hair with the epilator he doesn't feel it. I have one by Braun, it really works. I also bought the No!No! by Sephora a while ago, it cost me $200. What a waste, it supposedly kills hair just like laser, instead it just burnt the top. My hair grew back thicker, I am still extremely upset about wasting 200 dollars on it. One of my co-workers had laser hair removal on her arms and legs. She said it was worth the money but you have to be committed to going to all the sessions. In my opinion it's a little bit ridiculous spending that much money to get hair removed. Link to comment

Not so much chest but public hair and stomach. Why not just trim the hair. Not sure why everyone these days thinks pubic hair needs to be removed. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 You're not supposed to use an epilator on pubic hair (or in that area..) Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why not just trim the hair. Not sure why everyone these days thinks pubic hair needs to be removed. Because some people prefer it be gone? I personally can't stand having pubic hair, it irritates me and I know quite a few people who feel the same way. Link to comment
Jelina Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 By the way be very careful buying products online even if there are alot of good reviews on it before you buy it. Before I bought the No!No!, I read many reviews and alot were good reviews. I made sure that there were more good reviews than bad ones. I didn't want to waste 200 on a product that didn't work. I eventually bought it, after seeing all the good reviews by people who bought it and had "good results". It didn't work for me at all, it took off the hair but it grew back thicker. I think alot of people try to convince themselves that something works even though it really doesn't, just because it's supposed to work. So be very careful and realize that it might not work for you. Link to comment

Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hair can't really grow back any thicker than it already is. Link to comment
Jelina Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hair can't really grow back any thicker than it already is. Are you sure? Cause mine sure did. I used to have light soft hair on my legs, and then when I used the No!No! on it, it grew back thick...almost to the point where it looked like I had pubic hair on my legs. that I epilate it looks thinner again.

It can grow back darker and at a different angle which gives it the appearance of being thicker. Link to comment
Balbina Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I honestly think waxing gets less painful the more you do it, but to each his own. I wouldn't waste money on an at-home hair remover. Have you looked into electrolysis? link removed Link to comment

I've heard a lot of bad things about No No being ineffective for anything other than fine hairs....especially the smell, since it literally burns the hair off. Link to comment

Yea I used it on fine hair, all it did was make my hair darker and look thicker. It def. burnt the hair off but not permanently. Link to comment

Boughs Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'm planning on getting laser treatment on my butt and on my lower back. I can't stand it, i think it looks awful. I'm 22 Male btw. Link to comment
equinox Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I though about going to a clinic but I primarly want to get hair removal in more "private" areas. I dunno what the issue with that is in a clinic but I'd just feel more comfortable doing it myself Link to comment
lost1607307474 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 ^ I'm getting a tattoo removed at a clinic and it's true that it is very daunting, uncomfortable, and often embarrassing going to places to ask for these things done. However, the important thing to remember is that the doctors, nurses and staff at the clinics do that kind of stuff every day! Removing hair from male "private" areas means nothing to them, and is probably a very very common occurrence in their daily work, so you shouldn't feel uncomfortable about going to a clinic. The product you linked to in the OP - I doubt it would work as effectively as hair removal in a clinic and is probably a gimick. Clinical laser hair removal involves very powerful laser beams - ones that you wouldn't be able to purchase or operate without being a qualified nurse or doctor. If you went to a clinic the results would most likely be almost 100% successful. The only downside is that it may be a little more pricey than these DIY things they try to offer. Link to comment
