Chest and Abdominal Hair

For a Smooth Chest

  • For a Smooth Chest
  • Advantage of Lasers
  • Average Cost
  • For some men, excessive chest and abdominal hair is a source of irritation and embarrassment. They feel uncomfortable going shirtless in public, and even when they wear a shirt, they dislike having their excess hair extend out from under their clothing. For men who are active in sports, such as swimming and diving, having thick, dense chest and abdominal hair can actually impede their performance.

    Tweezing, waxing, and using chemical depilatory creams to remove unwanted chest and abdominal hair can be impractical as well as painful. These hairs grow quickly, so removing them with these traditional methods can be very time-consuming. Traditional methods can also cause skin irritation.

    The Advantage of Lasers

    Lasers are quickly becoming a popular solution for removing unwanted chest and abdominal hair. The procedure is relatively quick and pain-free, usually taking less than an hour for a single session. After 3 to 6 treatment sessions most men are satisfied with their results. The results are not permanent, but they last much longer than other methods.

    Average Cost

    An average treatment costs approximately $300 to $600 depending on your hair thickness and density, the region of the country you live in and other factors. Your best option is to have a consultation with a physician who can answer your questions and let you know what to expect.
