I'm a MALE and there's a few areas on my body where I'd like to reduce/thin out the hair...but not completely remove it all. Is this possible? For example, my arms and legs are too hairy in my opinion and while I don't want to permanently remove the hair, I'd like for it to be reduced and thinned out.
