I'm doing laser treatments now...so I don't have to shave so much.

Electrolysis is where they stick needles into your pores or something. Not good.

Do the laser.
It hurts about as much as someone snapping a rubberband on your skin.

It's usually about $200 a session (give or take). It usually takes up to 4-6 sessions to get full results.

prices?

The place where I go charges about $130 a session. And it's like half-price after so many visits.

You look like a cooked lobster after a session. Like a sunburn. But the red goes away after a couple of hours.

how are the results?

I have had both. Electrolysis was slower, more painful and costly but permanent. No re-growth was an upside.

Laser was faster and easier but really not guaranteed permanent. You may have to go back for many, many sessions depending on skin tone and coarseness of hair.
(1 session = 3 treatments).

Many places offer free consultations, references and payment plans. Consult and call all the references, talk to the people in the waiting room and sit around longer and see people after treatments. Many people LOVE to discuss their procedures with others.

Cost varies too greatly to quote. For a man’s face, I am guess about $900 a session, you may need 3 sessions, so it really all depends on the person.

Good luck!

Many men were there, I would guess it was a 50/50 split at the institute I used. Men with shaving issues and unwanted back hair is very common.

I do not think you would feel out of place at all. This clinic also had many male technicians that did treatments. I was given a choice many times if I wanted a male or female tech. That is something you may have to decide too.
