Answer 1

I don't know any men that are doing it, but I work in a salon, and ALOT of the women are having it done from head to toe. If you are ready to have your hair removed, and know that you want it to be gone forever, I would have laser treatments.
If you don't tell anyone, who has to know, who cares if everyone is
doing it-not having to shave would be AWESOME!!!

Answer 2

I think that generally it is the idea that men can use their beard as an acceptable change in their appearance. If you permanently remove it then you can never again grow one. In my opinion it is kind of like having a tattoo. Once you have it done it can never be undone. For women it is generally considered gross to have underarm hair or hairy legs etc. So permanently removing it is generally not a loss.

Answer 3

Electrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

Answer 4

yes some men have had this done, Laser hair removal is more expensive but less painful. If you never want to have to shave or have a problem area of hair this is a nice cure.

Answer 5

Because many people consider male stubble masculine and sexy and face shaving as s quintessentially male activity. Also, electrolysis have been typically confined to woman and most men have been reluctant to use it

Answer 6

Yes a lot of guys do it. Mostly they are gay and get as much of their bodies done as possible.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
