Twenty years ago, a man who admitted to engaging in chest hair removal would have been subject to jeers and derision. Today's aesthetic for the modern man calls for a physique that is sculpted and above all, smooth. As such, many men opt to remove hair from their chests and torsos to achieve this standard.

Chest Hair Removal: Know Your Options

One option when it comes to chest hair removal is to use depilatory creams. These creams are available in different strengths. They are often quite potent, but come with additives, like cocoa butter, that are designed to benefit the skin.

To use a depilatory, pour the product into your hand, and apply it to your chest. Be careful not to rub the product into your skin. As mentioned, these creams are powerful and were not designed to be rubbed in; if you do so, you will likely wind up with painful irritation. Simply spread the cream on as if you were applying frosting to a cake.

Allow the cream to sit on your skin for the time listed on the package--usually five to 15 minutes. Then, use a washcloth and remove the cream from a small area. If the desired hair removal takes place, continue to remove the rest of the cream from your body. If not, allow the cream to sit for a few more minutes.

Laser therapy is used by those seeking a more permanent solution to the challenge of chest hair removal. In this approach, a laser's heat impairs the growth of unwanted follicles. The experts at NuU Medspa have decades of experience in these methods.
