Getting rid of your shoulder hair can be pretty tricky, especially considering the fact that the area is a bit tough to get to. This makes shaving and waxing and other at home remedies for getting rid of hair a little bit more difficult. This is also one of the main reasons that shoulders laser hair removal for men is such a popular option.   Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons that come along with having laser hair removal done on your shoulders.  

The Advantages of Shoulders Laser Hair Removal for Men

First, we will look at some of the top advantages of going with laser hair removal.   #1 – Drastic Hair Growth Reduction You will definitely notice a drastic reduction in hair growth in the treated areas. While one treatment will not really get rid of all of the hairs in the area, it will get rid of a good amount of hairs. It will target hair follicles that are in the active state of growth. This is why it is so important for you to get your treatments done on a regular schedule to target the optimal amount of hair and get the best results.   #2 – Less Painful Than Other Options Waxing can be really painful, especially on the sensitive shoulder skin. Men are also not really known for having the highest pain tolerance when it comes to waxing 😉 The good news is that laser hair removal is not really that painful. It is not completely pain free, but the pain is mild and doesn’t usually last for very long. This can be relieving, especially if you are a sucker when it comes to pain.   #3 – It Is a Small Area that Doesn’t Take Much Time The shoulder area is not really a very large area. Unlike women, who often get laser hair removal on their legs and other large areas, the shoulder area won’t take much time. You can have this procedure done in a pretty short amount of time, meaning you will be back to your day quickly.  

The Drawbacks to Be Aware Of

#1 – It Can Be Pretty Costly Laser hair removal is generally not cheap. If it is cheap, then consider who is doing the procedure. You don’t want to skimp out on the quality of your treatments just to save a buck. Part of the cost also comes down to the fact that you will have to have multiple treatments done on the area. This is really the only way that you can get the best results out of the process.   #2 – There Are Some Potential Side Effects As with anything, there are some side effects to be aware of. Most of the time, patients just experience mild pain or skin irritation in the areas. Rarer side effects include blistering and scarring of the area, or changes in pigmentation or texture of your skin. To see how your skin will react, consider having a trial run done on a small patch of your skin.
