Laser Hair Removal in Denver More Popular for "Manscaping"

    GOLDEN, CO, January 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Traditional hair removal treatments are "out," and laser hair removal is "in," as many men abandon older and less effective approaches in favor of newer technologies that offer a more effective solution for unwanted hair. The board-certified plastic surgeons who oversee the Rejuvenate! medical spa (www.thecenterforskincare.net), Dr. Steven Vath and Dr. Andrew Wolfe, say that laser hair removal in Denver is in higher demand than ever with a growing contingent of men looking to lose unruly hair for a sexier, smoother appearance.

"Simply put, the laser option tends to be faster and much more convenient than older methods, and men are catching on to that fact," explains Dr. Wolfe. "Many of our new male clients have used waxing or electrolysis in the past, but those methods tended to be time-consuming and even painful. They find out how much more advanced and effective laser hair removal is, and they don't go back."

While both electrolysis and laser hair removal destroy the hair follicle at the root, laser hair removal uses light energy rather than an electrical wand to destroy hair. Because there is no direct contact between the laser system and the patient's skin, the whole procedure tends to be much more comfortable, as well as much safer for the patient's surrounding skin.

"The precision of lasers is another big reason so many men are switching over right now," notes Dr. Vath. "While some patients may be looking for a very bare-body result, the majority just want to look more clean-cut by removing hair in specific areas. Today's systems are versatile enough to meet both of those goals for laser hair removal in Colorado exceptionally well."

New laser technologies are also making this procedure a viable option for many men who were not good candidates for laser hair removal in the past. While the original laser hair removal systems worked only for very pale-skinned men with very dark hair, today's more sophisticated systems allow for precise adjustments to the laser systems' intensity, opening the way for good results even for men who might not have been able to undergo this treatment at all just a few years ago.

Laser hair removal is not the only aesthetic procedure gaining ground with the male demographic. Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Vath report that the Rejuvenate! medical spa is also seeing more male clients for procedures like BOTOX Cosmetic and laser acne correction, as well as Colorado skin care treatments and procedures to reduce enlarged facial capillaries.

"I think right now many men are just more aware of what they can be doing to look healthier and more attractive," Dr. Wolfe comments. "Laser hair removal is probably the most popular with our male spa clients, but we're seeing growing interest for our other treatments too, and I would definitely say it's part of a larger trend."

Dr. Steven Vath and Dr. Andrew Wolfe (www.thecenterforskincare.net) are board-certified plastic surgeons practicing at the Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Denver, which offers a full range of cosmetic procedures for the face and body. Dr. Vath earned his MD from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He completed a General Surgery residency at George Washington University and received his Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery training at the Louisiana State University Medical Center and Charity Hospital.
