Over the past decade, medical lasers have been utilized in the permanent removal of unwanted body hair. Unsightly body hair is problem faced by both men and women. Men that have been genetically blessed with overly hairy torsos or back hair and women that are tired of shaving their legs and armpits are turning to the permanent solution removal of body hair.
For most women the task of shaving their legs on regular basis is a chore that they would rather live without. Legs that are smooth and silky to the touch are appealing to the opposite sex.
On the East Coast near the nation's capital, fashion-conscious women that like to show off their legs in shorts or skirts can avoid the weekly ritual of maintaining a smooth close shave by having their legs treated at a laser hair removal clinic. In just a couple of treatments the laser deadens the hair follicle, killing the root of the hair below the surface of the skin. The treatment of licensed technicians is permanent because the dead hair follicle falls out never to return. In the early years of laser removal, the majority of patients were women, but over the years men have become more inclined to have unsightly back hair removed. Removal for some patrons includes taking care of the unibrow by defining the two eyebrows to be naturally separated and some men are also having neck hair erased at laser hair removal centers, eliminating the need to clean up the back of the neck after a haircut.
