TOPIC: Hair removal from lower shaft after PMMA

Thanks Sexbeast.

How did your skin respond on the penis / scrotum to the treatment from the laser? Were the follicles raised / irritated for weeks? Or, just 1-3 days like a back/shoulder area. Is it a lot more sensitive?

I\'m trying to get an idea for what\'s the general trend for reactions from the laser in this area.

Smalljay - I wanted to do this a year ago, but I\'d hoped that the skin will stretch. Now, my lower shaft skin is going to be (literally) my scrotal skin after the scrotalplasty - so I really want to start getting rid of the hair...as it goes up more than 1/2 way.

I\'ve had my full body lasted, I\'ve found it pretty effective

I\'ve found that this is the best place to get information on hair removal (all techniques). The is a mature section which requires forum registration to access.

I did 50 minutes worth, so it wasn\'t bad. I didn\'t to the Balls, just the area where it will be cut for the scrotoplasty. Then, we did the shaft. There\'s definitely more hair to go but we\'ll wait until Post-op so it\'ll be easier to know exactly where to do it. It\'ll probably be 5+ hours in the end (spread across a few visits). I think that will be $400 which is nothing really, but just a lot of time. It looks WAY better already, but the irony is having less hair there means more visible scars (even though my scars aren\'t that bad).

I talked to 2 laser people. Neither one wanted to do it, and they have done other areas on me (one alexandrite person and one lightsheer person). Also, I have sensitive skin and once tried to laser the base of my neck where I get razor burns ... and i was red / burned for 2 months (with ingrowns and pustules). So, in the end, I also didn\'t want to risk it with the penis (aside from nobody agreeing to do it here).

As mentioned before laser works best on dark (back) hard and light skin. I will also add that the shallower the hair is under the skin the better.

i BEG to differ and would seek a second opinion and would search out someone using a sciton, electrolysis takes such a long time for each individual hair. you can laser the Cock and Balls in 20 minutes.
i do not normally do this but here is a photo of my under arms next to my face so u can c the difference. i have not shaved my under arms in 5 years, the last time i lasered them was 4 years ago.....

I had electrolysis and it was pretty uneventful. Barely any pain (I used EMLA). I\'m not even red. It was cheap too, considering everything else. The only downside would be ingrown hairs, so I gotta just be careful with the washing and \"gentle exfoliation\". I think once this is ALL done - with the webbing \"relocation\" and a few Nodule removals, it will look somewhat back to normal.

I talked w/ my laser person & she said guys have hated having their penis / Balls done. Plus, the skin takes unusually long to heal. She said it would be better to do electrolysis. I think given everything I dealt with, I\'ll find an electrologist. A lot of the ones who do transgender people are used to this anyway.

it\'s nothing like the laser, shaving sucks-waxing sucks....

Thanks sexbeast. I am light skinned / dark haired - so that\'s good. I just didn\'t want to have inflamed follicles down there. One time I shaved it with an actual razor and had bumps for ages (I think a few even lasted for 3 months). I learned never to do that again. Clipping only.

I found out that PMMA melts at much higher temperatures than the laser can achieve. So, that\'s not going to be an issue. Plus, I can pull the skin up and away from the area while the laser tech works on the actual skin. I will probably only do the shaft and the part of the Balls that is going to come up onto the shaft after the scrotoplasty surgery.

hey there restoration,
hair laser targets pigment in the hair, then goes into the follicle and kills or disables it, the darker the hair the better the result.
the guidelines we use are based off the Fitzpatrick scale for skin coloring.
the darker the skin, the less joules we use, we can lower frequency or up it as well, the lighter the skin enables us to bump it up a little.
of course one must do a test to see how the skin and hair responds. that being said the best results we see are with fair skinned people with black hair, so the laser targets the hair and not the skin.
so to answer your question about my results,
well i am very dark skinned and especially down under, so i must use caution when working on myself. i like to use the passive technique low and slow. the hairs responded great to the procedure, i have literally none left except for very fine hairs on my sack, which i am working on.
here comes the good stuff, my junk is very sensitive to the laser( yowch!) (i have burned myself a couple of times, nothing that does not go away, takes a few weeks) but wow can i feel it, some people have a high pain tolerance and i feel i am one of those people but it still hurts like a mother.
the follicles r raised around the shaft and pubic area for a few days but no big deal, the scrotum is very difficult because it\'s hard to stretch it out and get a flat surface to glide over( the knuts get in the way).
yes, very sensitive, even w/ the BLT.
hope this helps, if u wonder what it feels like have your under arm hair done, it\'s not the same but closer to the feel than your back.

You want permanent hair Removal? Than only electrolysis will work. Laser is only for reduction as mentioned before. I visited some hair Removal forums, disregarded the advice of the old hands there, spent $1.5k on laser treatments only to have the growing back eventually. I switched to electrolysis and now I am 905 hair free down there and only fine hairs remain. All the original corse, curly hairs are 99.9% gone. And yes it hurts like a bitch sometimes, but the skill of the probationer can reduce the discomfort by 25%, 30%.

I just pluck away anytime I see any growth on the shaft. Seems to me that plucking tends to dissuade the hair from coming in thicker. Sometimes it doesn\'t come in at all anymore from the same spot.

HA, I can already see men lining up for the Brazilian Wax job for Men at the local \"Spa.\"

There are many things for which us men can get obssessed. I have hair up to about 4\" and is great shit when I use my Dick - cuts to tight pussies and a few days after shaving, the stubble is abrasive and can cause bruising to the poor partner. So? I shave fairly frequently (with a Gillette Fusion) and try to do so always before an encounter.

I am too apprehensive to risk any more \"procedures\" to my \"one and all\" apart from injecting ...
