An article about the features of male depilation and hair removal. Methods for depilation of various zones at home with detailed instructions.

Beauty salons have long ceased to be an exclusively female prerogative. There is nothing strange about men taking care of themselves. Increasingly, along with women's hair removal procedures, you can see descriptions of methods of depilation and hair removal for men. What is the difference between men's and women's hair removal? Our article is about hair removal methods for men, all the intricacies of this procedure and a set of products for it.

Men's hair removal and depilation: video

First, you need to understand the terms male depilation and hair removal.

Depilation is the removal of the upper part of the hair, that is, only the visible part of it. The hair follicle remains unharmed, and after a few days or weeks, stubble begins to appear in the depilated areas. Depilation methods include shaving, using a special hair removal cream, plucking with tweezers or thread, waxing procedures, and removal with a sugar mixture (sugaring).

Epilation destroys both the visible part of the hair and its root. After several such procedures, the affected hair completely stops growing. It is impossible to conduct such a session on your own. Hair removal is only available in salons and only under the supervision of a qualified specialist. The procedure has varieties:

electrolysis - exposure to electric current;
light hair removal, which in turn is divided into laser and photoepilation;
ELOS technology is a combination of electrical and light manipulations.

IMPORTANT: Men's hair removal gives a temporary effect, but its cost is several times lower than hair removal, which, if all recommendations are followed, promises to get rid of hair forever.

Preparation for the procedure

Before going to a sugaring specialist, you should prepare for the procedure:

Hair must be shaved 2 weeks in advance if its length in the treatment area exceeds 3–7 mm.
Peel the skin 2-3 days in advance.
Do not sunbathe, do not visit a bathhouse or sauna a day before sugaring.
Before depilation, you need to cleanse the skin without using detergents. After this, you cannot apply cosmetics to it.

Peeling the skin before sugaring will reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs and make the procedure less painful.

Deep male depilation: features

Men's hair removal differs from women's in several nuances.

The structure of the hair itself in the stronger half of humanity is much thicker and tougher.
The area of hair that men want to get rid of is much larger.
Pain during removal is stronger in men.
The stronger sex is more prone to skin irritation than the weaker sex. After depilation, a man must use softening, restorative and protective lotions.
The fact that the hair on the male body is thicker, tougher and darker forces the stronger sex to resort to depilation of the back, chest, arms - in short, areas that are unpopular among the female half.

What's the cost

The unpleasant thing is that male sugaring is more expensive than female sugaring. It is explainable. Men's hair is thicker, stronger and there is more of it; the procedure will take more time and more consumables. Considering that due to the speed of hair growth, sugaring will have to be done more often, this can cost a pretty penny. If prices for the procedure for women start at 800 rubles on average, then men can multiply this figure by one and a half, or even two.

Summarize. It turns out that male sugaring is not so scary. A deep bikini, of course, needs to be made a habit. Then every trip to the salon will not be associated with moral and physical discomfort.

Depilatory cream for men

Daily shaving causes irritation. It traumatizes the skin, and for some men, shaved areas look very unattractive due to razor rashes or cuts. That is why many representatives of the stronger sex wear stubble, which, however, does not suit every one of them.

A depilatory cream for men has been developed especially for sensitive skin, as well as to facilitate the process of hair removal itself.

IMPORTANT: The same product is not recommended for use on different parts of the body. Some areas require more delicate treatment, and therefore a certain care composition.

Benefits of using the cream:

The active ingredients penetrate the skin and remove hair, leaving a rounded tip. The razor leaves a cut that can sting even immediately after shaving.
After using the cream, the network of blackheads is not visible on the skin.
If a man is not allergic to the ingredients of the cream, the composition does not cause irritation, redness, or pain.
The cream does not cause dryness, but on the contrary, moisturizes and nourishes the skin.
Using this product is easier than any other type of hair removal.

The disadvantages include the relatively high price for a tube of truly effective cream. It is also inconvenient that different areas of the body require different products.

IMPORTANT: Before first use, be sure to check your skin for allergic reactions to the components in the cream. To do this, lubricate a small area with the product and wait about 15 minutes. If the skin does not turn red, does not become covered in rashes, there is no burning or other unpleasant sensations, then this cream is suitable for you.

Instructions for use of depilatory cream

Clean and dry your skin before applying the product.
Distribute the cream in a thick layer exclusively over the hairy area that you want to remove. It is important to avoid mucous membranes, and in case of contact with them, rinse immediately with water.
Wait for the time specified in the instructions. Do not keep the cream on longer to get better results. The creams contain highly effective components that, with prolonged exposure, can damage the structure of the skin.
The tube comes with a special spatula. Rinse it with warm water and carefully collect the cream along with the loose hairs. Try not to touch areas where you are not performing the procedure.
Rinse off any remaining cream with warm water.

IMPORTANT: When choosing a depilatory cream, you should know your skin type and hair structure in advance so that the product can perform its functions.

Skin care after the procedure

To avoid unwanted consequences, after depilation with sugar paste, you should follow the following recommendations:

Do not wet the treated area of skin for 12 hours.
Avoid direct sunlight during the day. Visiting the solarium is prohibited.
Don't overheat and try not to sweat.
Do not visit baths and saunas.
Do not visit the pool for at least a day, do not swim in open water.
Try to wear only natural fabrics until the irritation goes away.
If there are inflammations or wounds, treat them with an antiseptic (Chlorhexidine, Miramistin, etc.).
A couple of days after the procedure, peel the skin.

If wounds or inflammations appear after sugaring, treat the skin with an antiseptic

Male depilation and depilation of intimate areas

Male depilation is performed on any part of the body, including intimate areas and beard.

As for the beard, the hair there is so hard that cosmetologists do not recommend mechanical methods of removing it. That is, it is better to avoid waxing, sugar depilation, and plucking with tweezers. The consequence of such procedures will be severe irritation and bleeding from the removal sites. Using wax, only the hairy parts called sideburns are removed.

On all other areas of the body, a man can use any method of depilation: shaving, wax, sugar, depilatory creams, tweezers, epilator.

The event for hair removal in intimate areas stands apart. If earlier this procedure was not so in demand, today men pay tribute to its benefits. This:

hygiene of the groin area;
improving the appearance of the groin;
bringing a fresh air into intimate relationships with a woman.

Shaving is the most popular and cheapest way to remove groin hair. However, this method is associated with the rapid appearance of a “hedgehog” in the groin, which is not very convenient for both the man and the woman during intimacy.

IMPORTANT: When shaving, guide the razor only along the hair growth. Using the blade against the grain will cause irritation and pain.

To perform waxing in the intimate area, use a hot composition. It will open the pores, making hair removal easier and less painful. Spread the wax in the direction of the scalp with a wooden stick. Use special strips to stick to the skin or make them yourself from clean fabric or paper. When the strip sticks, quickly pull it against the growth of the hair.

The advantage of waxing is that the stubble after it does not appear tomorrow, but after a week or more. After several procedures, which are carried out every 2-4 weeks, the hair will grow less readily and will become faded and thin.

IMPORTANT: After depilation, sprinkle the treated areas with talcum powder or baby powder. This will reduce the likelihood of irritation and reduce discomfort.

You can also pull out hair with tweezers , but this is a rather labor-intensive process, because only one hair is captured at a time.

Therefore, it is more acceptable to use an electroepilator . He pulls out hair in bunches, and the achieved effect lasts for another couple of weeks. Use the epilator exclusively for the pubic area, but the delicate bikini area requires a different type of treatment - wax, sugar, tweezers, a razor.

IMPORTANT: Before using an electric epilator, trim your hair to no more than 1 cm.

The epilator has the same benefits as men's waxing. Hair begins to grow more slowly, becomes thinner and sparser.

Contraindications

Unfortunately, not everyone can do sugaring. Contraindications to sugar depilation include:

diabetes;
allergy to sugar;
skin diseases;
skin irritation;
epilepsy;
neoplasms and tumors;
phlebeurysm;
state of alcoholic intoxication;
rehabilitation after chemical peeling or sunburn;
the first day after visiting the solarium.

Remember that the optimal hair length for hair removal is 3–7 mm; if it is shorter, there is no point in going through the procedure.

Precautionary measures

Sugaring a beard for men, the video of which is presented below, requires precautions. Before the procedure, the specialist conducts a test to determine sensitivity to the paste used. For this purpose, you need to apply a small amount of caramel to the elbow or wrist and evaluate the reaction. If there is no redness, the sugar mixture can be applied to the face.

Attention! You can apply the paste under the nose if you have thin and soft hair. This is due to the sensitivity of the zone.

Male depilation: types

For some men, home hair removal is too complicated and time-consuming. In this case, you can contact beauty salons, where you will undergo both depilation and epilation of any part of the body.

Electric hair removal is carried out using a needle, which directs a current discharge to the bulb and destroys it. An electrolysis session lasts quite a long time, so you need to be patient. This method is well suited for permanent removal of “piece” hairs in the nose, ears, as well as for the final removal of light and fine hair.

Photoepilation deals with blond hair using flashes of light and destroys the hair follicles forever. A subtype of photoepilation - laser hair removal - fights hair with a laser. The laser flash acts on a skin area of approximately 2 square centimeters, so it is not difficult to treat a large area, for example, a man’s back, in one procedure. Additionally, the skin receives valuable laser treatment, which is comparable to a rejuvenation session.
