Electrolysis for men

What areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis?

Back hair and ear hair come to mind, but other areas are part of the "manscaping" process. Some common areas of treatment are as follows:

• eyebrows, especially if a unibrow is of concern
• beard sculpting, to eliminate shaving on the cheeks and neck
• neckline hair, to treat skin irritations and ingrown hairs
• ear hair
• back hair
• shoulder hair

Competitive athletes also choose electrolysis for permanent removal of unwanted body hair.

How long will it take?

The length of a treatment, and the number of treatments to complete the process, will depend on the amount of hair to be removed. Defining brows or treating ears will take a lot less time than removing the heavy growth on a back. It is important to know that consistent clearings, of any area, will achieve permanence sooner than having sporadic appointments.

Can hairs around the groin or on the genital area be treated?

Hair can be safely and effectively removed from the groin and genital area. However, not all electrologists choose to work in these areas. Of those who do, some will require that you have other areas treated first, while others will require a medical referral before starting treatments. A professional electrologist should be able to refer you to a colleague if they do not treat these areas.

How do I find an electrologist who will work on these areas?

Find an AEA member electrologist near you. Call or email them to ask what requirements they have for treating the groin or genitals.
