Male depilation has ceased to be a taboo topic and has become a growing trend. However, there are several myths and legends surrounding this topic. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths about male depilation:
Myth 1: Shaving body hair protects against body odor
The answer is yes, shaving body hair can help reduce body odor. Underarm hair is a breeding ground for bacteria, which thrive under the protective cover of body hair and enhance the smell of perspiration.
However, it is not sweat itself that smells bad, but rather the skin bacteria that break down sweat. Shaving the underarms and body hair reduces the amount of bacteria and therefore the odor.
Myth 2: Body hair protects against the sun
On the contrary, body hair tends to retain small droplets of water and sweat, which magnify the ultraviolet light from the sun. This intensifies the sun’s rays and makes the skin more prone to burning.
Additionally, thick body hair makes it difficult to apply a snug layer of sunscreen on the skin. Therefore, shaving body hair actually helps improve sun protection.
Myth 3: Laser hair removal is not effective for men
This is false. Laser hair removal is equally effective for both men and women. Laser technology can permanently remove unwanted hair regardless of gender. More and more men are opting for laser hair removal to have a neater body and permanently eliminate hair.
Myth 4: Men are more sensitive to pain during depilation
While each person has a different pain threshold, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that men are more sensitive to pain during depilation. The level of pain sensitivity can vary from person to person regardless of gender.
Although some depilation methods may cause discomfort, such as using hot wax, there are less painful and more tolerable options, such as depilatory creams, shaving, or laser hair removal.
Myth 5: Laser hair removal is harmful to male skin
This is incorrect. Laser hair removal is a safe procedure when performed correctly by trained professionals. Laser technology is designed to selectively remove hair without damaging the surrounding skin. However, it is important to follow the specialist’s instructions and take necessary precautions before and after the treatment.
