Australian men turn to lasers to cut need to shave

Men in Australia are increasingly seeking the permanent removal of hair from their face and neck by laser.

Reasons included allergies to shaving cream, acne scars, a skin condition which involved persistent ingrown hairs, and transgender people who wanted to avoid a "five o'clock" shadow.

The number of men attending her Brisbane-based clinic for hair removal had increased over the past ten years from about one a month to one or two every day.

The cost of permanently removing facial hair starts at about $600 - while a pack of disposable razor head replacements can cost $10.
