Beauty standards can change so fiercely with time. While male chest hair was once considered an attractive feature, it is no longer a desirable aspect of modern beauty standards for men. Hairless bodies have become the norm in the beauty world. For men with naturally hairy chests or backs, achieving that hairless look can be a hardship at best. Shaving is a problematic solution, as it can lead to more dense hair growth in the future and discomfort as the hair grows back. Waxing is frankly too painful and frequently needed. The solution is a process known as laser hair removal, a cosmetic procedure performed by surgeons at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas.

What is Laser Hair Removal for Men?
East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery offers a great option for men looking for laser hair removal in the New Jersey and New York areas. By combining two different wavelengths of amplified light, the laser can target the melanin in your hair, right down to the follicle. The lasers accomplish this by using high energy, which hair follicles are known to dislike and are susceptible to. After three or four sessions, as much as 80% of your hair should be permanently eliminated.
Multiple sessions are required because not all hair grows at the same time. Most hair growth follows several different cycles, meaning that the hair on your arms or legs, for example, will be in different stages at different times. To effectively eliminate as much hair as possible, each phase of hair must be individually targeted. The number of sessions will also be determined by the density of hair slated for removal as well as the color of that hair.
