Link? I was under the impression that men could not have laser facial hair removal because the thick, coarse hair would scar under the high energy of the laser.

(Although, I'm not sure I would do it anyway. Having facial hair as an older man seems like it would be a rite of passage.)
- Qz 16y agoLaser still works on male facial hair. I've considered it myself to the point of getting a consultation and there aren't any problems. The thing with laser is that it's technically (according to the FDA) laser hair reduction. When you zap the hair with the laser, it doesn't necessarily kill the follicle, but it does make the hair grow back thinner. Repeated treatments make the hair grow back thinner and thinner and eventually it does stop growing. But it can also later start growing back, so you tend to have to go back for 'touch up' appointments, even after the majority of the zapping is complete.
- dmm 16y agoSpeaking of old men with beards, I've always loved this portrait of Darwin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Darwin_by_Julia_Margaret_Cameron_2.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Darwin_by_Julia_Ma... There is just something about his huge beard and the way he stares off into the distance. This is also a good one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Robert_Darwin_by_John_Collier.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Robert_Darwin_by_J... But don't wait until you're old to try a beard! Grow it for six weeks, see if you like it!
