Men's hair removal and bikini hair removal (deep)

Everything flows, the world is changing - just a couple of decades ago, few men would even think of shaving their pubic hair, but these days this practice is quite common. This method of caring for the intimate area has several advantages: firstly, it is hygienic, secondly, it is more in line with modern aesthetics, and finally, many people, regardless of gender, simply like smooth skin all over their body.

“There is something for cultural scientists and philosophers to talk about here, but we will still get down to practice.

The technology of shaving the “bikini area” is quite familiar to most women - after all, this is one of the simplest and most traditional methods of hair removal of the intimate area, and among the fair sex it became fashionable much earlier. But for many men this is still a new thing, especially since the anatomy of the male body makes the task somewhat more difficult. However, mastering groin shaving in general is not at all that difficult - the main thing is a steady hand, composure and accuracy!

Features of depilation in men

You can consult with your other half before the session, who will tell you how the process occurs, what sensations it is accompanied by, etc. Women are more accustomed to such executions and do not know fear, so the story does not coincide with reality. But in fact, there are differences between women's and men's bikini depilation:

the skin in the intimate area of men is more sensitive, so an anesthetic spray or ointment will be required;
the hair is coarser, which means a different composition of sugaring paste is required (the active ingredient is sugar), a different layer of wax, etc.;
in men, new hair appears faster, so hair removal should be done more often;
the price of a session is higher than for women;
hair is located closer to the surface of the epidermis and grows thicker.

There is a difference in the hair removal process itself. Epilation means total removal along with the root. Depilation - removal on the surface, the root is preserved. The first method is more effective and can result in a decrease in the amount of hair in the deep bikini area or in the complete destruction of vegetation. The second one is easier to do at home, left alone with the “object”.

Indications for use

Male hair removal is recommended primarily in cases where a man is allergic to preparations for and after shaving. In addition, laser facial hair removal for men allows you to forget about the problem of ingrown hairs and skin irritations.

In some cases, a man simply gets tired of his beard. Shaving a thick beard is very difficult and unpleasant. Laser beard hair removal for men allows you to completely remove the beard without any discomfort.

In other words, such hair removal is perfect for any man who does not have the opportunity or desire to shave every day.

Dispelling myths

Men's bikini hair removal is a very painful procedure. And this is not a myth, it is true. But there is one caveat - the cosmetologist always treats the working area with ice-caine or similar means. The freezing effect lasts for some time, the master will have time to conduct the session quickly and not sensitively for the client.

Some people think that such manipulations are only appropriate for women. Here we must remember that we live in the 21st century. First of all, deep bikini hair removal is required for male actors, models, and athletes. The fact that he shows off his body to the public every day. And only then depilation is carried out as a hygienic measure or according to personal preference.

Most men are simply embarrassed that unfamiliar female hands will touch their groin area. This sensitive moment can cause a natural reaction. It is important to understand that this procedure is carried out by an experienced master. And either the cosmetologist simply will not pay attention and will continue to do his task. Or it will give the client time to get back to normal. Some simply entrust the client to hold the skin themselves so as not to cause awkward moments.

Types of hair removal for men in the deep bikini area

At home you can use:

Shaver;
depilatory cream.

The first option is the most budget-friendly, does not require much time and is suitable even for the coarsest hair. But it will not be possible to completely destroy the vegetation; they will even begin to grow thicker. There is a possibility of cutting yourself as the deep bikini is difficult to access.

You need to apply the cream and wait. Convenient to use in places where there are folds or uneven vegetation. In this case, it will also not be possible to completely get rid of them.

Cosmetological types of male bikini hair removal:

wax;
sugaring (sugar paste);
laser;
photoepilation.

The first option is quite painful; it allows you to get rid of the hair along with the root. Of the minuses: the wax does not capture all the stumps; some will need to be removed with tweezers. In addition to hair in the bikini area, the skin is also injured. Preparation before the procedure and subsequent care are required.

Processing with sugar paste is less sensitive. After this, the number of ingrown hairs tends to a minimum. It has a long-lasting effect, 6-7 procedures are enough for the vegetation to significantly thin out.

Laser hair removal is the most modern and painless. One procedure can take several hours, depending on the thickness of the hair. There are contraindications.

Photoepilation involves burning the roots with flashes of light. Painless but long procedure. Can be considered as an alternative to laser.

As a moral preparation, you can watch a video on the Internet with a recording of the detailed stages of men's deep bikini hair removal.

How to prepare properly

Total elimination of pubic hair requires preliminary preparation. Before epilation in the bikini area for men, you must follow the following rules:

In 3-4 days you need to shave everything in the deep bikini area. By the day of your appointment with a cosmetologist, the stumps should have grown by 3-4 mm so that any epilating compounds can grab them.
If you forgot to shave in advance, it will be enough to trim it a little to the required length.
Injury to the skin is not allowed. There should be no wounds, abrasions, rashes, irritation, or skin diseases.
You should not sunbathe before the session.
It is advisable to exfoliate with a scrub 2 days before hair removal to remove dead skin cells.

If you decide to do home depilation, then:

Before the procedure, cut off excess length with nail scissors.
Wash the groin thoroughly with soap.
Prepare the machine; it should be clean and sharp enough.
The skin should be clean and undamaged.

You can request a video on this topic online so that you know what to be prepared for in advance.

Important: using an electric razor in the intimate area is prohibited. The skin here is too thin and can be easily damaged.

Differences from the procedure for women

The peculiarities of the procedure lie only in the density of vegetation and the properties of the skin:

a man needs to get rid of hair not only on his arms, legs, armpits and intimate areas, but also on his back, stomach, neck, face;
male hairs are stiffer, grow thicker and in larger areas;
Men's hair grows faster and they require more frequent hair removal than women;
Men have increased pain sensitivity, and therefore the procedure is carried out using anesthetic gels.

How does the hair removal process work?

Removing vegetation from the deep bikini area using a laser method is almost imperceptible. First, the cosmetologist applies a cooling gel. The skin does not heat up and no scars or scars are left. It will take several trips to the cosmetologist before the amount of hair decreases significantly. The laser does not cause any harm, does not affect potency at all and does not damage the skin. Photoepilation follows the same principle, only its price is slightly lower.

Before waxing, the skin is cleansed with a special product and talc is applied. If pain medication is required, use it before starting. After talc, the wax is distributed over the surface of the skin in a thin layer. It is allowed to harden a little, covered with a special clean napkin and torn off with a sharp movement against growth.

Sugaring follows the same principle, only sugar paste is used instead of wax. It has a softer effect and does not damage the skin. The procedure is very popular among those who do men's bikini area hair removal. You can view the details of the process in the video upon request. The price ranges from 1500 to 5000 on average.

Procedure

So, you're fully prepared, no one will disturb you for the next half hour, water is flowing from the shower (or not, if you're environmentally conscious or frugal). Now let's begin. The sequence for shaving the intimate area is generally similar to the actions for regular shaving - but, of course, it also has its own characteristics. Associated with the inaccessibility of some areas, as well as with the already mentioned tenderness of the skin on them.

Apply foam or shaving gel. Since we are not talking about a complex intimate haircut (which is carried out similarly to modeling a beard), it is possible - and necessary! - do not skimp in terms of foam density. After shaving, the skin will be clean and smooth, so you can “mow”, especially without understanding it.
It’s better to start with the simplest thing - the pubis itself. Here everything is visible to the naked eye, there is no need to leave anything. However, this depends on the type of hairiness of your body: if you have even “fur” all over your body and legs, and even dark tones, a completely shaved pubis will look unnatural. But, of course, it's up to you to decide.
The golden rule - never put pressure on the razor, do not “scrape” it - is especially important when shaving intimately. We move the razor gently, stroking movements, against hair growth (this makes it cleaner). The skin in those places where it does not fit the body should be slightly tightened - this will make the shave cleaner.
The penis itself is also covered with hair at the root, so you will have to go over it with a razor. To do this, you need to stretch the genital organ so that the skin at its root is stretched. Doing this, however, is much faster and easier than describing it.
After this, you can move on to the sides: we shave using the same principle, stretching the skin in those areas where the razor does not have rigid support. To do this, you can put your leg to the side, you can pull your penis. If you start to experience scratching sensations, this means it’s time to rinse the razor cassette.
The scrotum is perhaps the most difficult place to shave. You need to work there slowly and carefully (and don't forget the mirror!). To begin, lift your penis up with your free hand and shave everything underneath it from top to bottom. Next, the remaining “uncovered” areas should be carefully treated in small areas, stretching the skin.
But now - if the shower was turned off - it’s time to turn it on (just let the water not be very hot) and rinse off the foam and shaved hair. After which you can move on to “after shaving” procedures - which, as we remember, are aimed at softening slightly irritated skin.

Aftercare

Immediately after hair removal in the intimate area, you need to apply a special post-epilation cream. In a beauty salon, the master will offer the client to apply it immediately. This is necessary to prevent irritation and reduce the possibility of ingrown hairs.

It is not recommended to take a hot bath on the day of deep bikini hair removal; the skin is still sensitive and may be affected by temperatures. Sunbathing in direct sunlight is also prohibited. You should also abstain from sex for 3-4 hours, this can be traumatic for the skin.

It is better to choose loose underwear so as not to rub the sensitive area. Do not use balms and alcohol-based products temporarily. It is better to carry out the procedure in the evening, at which time the pain threshold is higher.

Preparation for the procedure

In order to achieve a result that will delight you with the absence of hair for several years without harming men's health, you should carefully prepare for a visit to the hair removal office. Namely:

A few weeks before the procedure, you must avoid solariums and sunbathing. If exposure to open sun is unavoidable, you need to protect the area with sunscreen. Neglecting this rule can lead to unpleasant consequences.
Also, you should not take antibiotics before men's laser bikini hair removal.
Experts recommend not drinking alcohol a few days before visiting a beauty salon.
You should not resort to any type of depilation that can injure the skin (waxing, sugaring, etc.).
Before the procedure, you must carefully remove hair using a razor. So, during manipulation, the skin must be clean.
When using cosmetics after shaving, you need to pay attention that they do not contain alcohol or aggressive substances.
Do not use a hard washcloth while showering. Do not exfoliate your skin.
It is recommended to avoid visiting a bathhouse or sauna a few days before laser hair removal of the groin.
You need to come to the cosmetologist's office in a clean, well-groomed condition, having first thoroughly cleaned the area for treatment.
It is also important to visit a dermatologist to determine the absence or presence of contraindications.

Compliance with all recommendations is necessary when preparing for this cosmetic procedure. Because only in this case can a quality result be guaranteed.

Benefits of intimate hair removal

Epilation of a deep bikini for men provides the following advantages:

Hygiene. Vegetation on the body accumulates a lot of bacteria inside. This causes foreign odors and itching. Total removal will get rid of this for many years.
Appearance. The groin area will look much more attractive. The main character will look visually larger. The effect lasts for a long time (for 3-4 weeks).
Quality of intimate life. The overwhelming majority of women do not like abundant vegetation in the intimate area of men. Therefore, some types of sex can even cause disgust on the part of the weaker sex. Having sex with a guy who has taken care of himself and his partner will become much more enjoyable for the lady, and variety and trust will appear in the couple.
Hair loses thickness and becomes softer. Each time the procedure goes faster and the vegetation becomes less and less.

The disadvantages include pain, the best remedies for which are icecaine, Emla cream and painkillers. After depilation of a deep bikini, men experience itching, which will go away with time. The humidity in the intimate part of the body increases; there is no hair left that absorbed sweat. Visually this is noticeable only when it is very hot; in ordinary life it does not manifest itself in any way. You can use a special antiperspirant.

Contraindications

Deep bikini hair removal is not done for men if:

diabetes mellitus;
overly sensitive skin;

The main thing is not to worry, trust the master. You need to talk if you feel any discomfort, ask for help, or, conversely, if control over the intimate area is lost and an awkward situation is likely to arise. There is no need to be shy or afraid. A few unpleasant minutes are worth a great result. A frank conversation will make the work of specialists easier, so deep bikini hair removal for men can be done faster and more comfortably.
