Are you sick of razor burn?
Bsn | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 9 years, 7 months AGO
Now that summer is here, men and women both are focused on trimming, preening, plucking and shaving in order to look their best during these hot weather months. Bathing suit season is in full effect which always results in an increased emphasis on personal appearance. In honor of Father's Day, we are focusing on laser hair removal for men. The most commonly treated areas on men are the back, neck chest, and beard; however, there is no limit to treatment area.
As many of us know, shaving can result in razor burn, bumps, acne, irritated sebaceous glands and general discomfort. Laser treatment can help to permanently reduce hair by more than 90 percent. Each area typically takes eight treatments to see this amount of permanent removal. Patients report that after laser hair removal they have experienced better body image, higher confidence and increased quality of life. The women in your life will love it too!
Laser hair removal works by flashing a concentrated beam of light at the hair, which is attracted to and absorbed by the pigment of each strand. When the pigment absorbs the light it damages the follicle in a way that prevents new hair growth. The process is completely safe and incredibly tolerable.
Shed your "winter coat" and do some "manscaping" this year at Owsley Plastic Surgery! This June, all men will receive $100 off their laser hair removal packages. Happy Father's Day!

Say no more razor burn!
With the right wavelength, appropriate settings and accurately spaced time between treatments, laser hair removal is incredibly effective and results in 90 percent permanent hair reduction. Many patients ask why this is not 100 percent. The fact is, as we age, we go through hormonal changes. These hormonal changes can trigger new hair growth patterns. Sometimes women will produce hair growth on their face after menopause.
