I'm asian (Type IV skin) and by default don't have very much hair anywhere. The hair I had around my nether regions was straight longish, reasonable coarse and not evenly distributed. I used to shave mostly and used dissolving cream for the hair around my anus which was long at 1.5".
I stared out with laser (Lightshear) and had five sessions. That worked ok for the mons where my skin is lighter, but not so effective elsewhere as the tech couldn't get the power up high enough without burning the skin.
I then turned to electrolysis, which in hindsight I probably should've done in the first place. As it turns out, there aren't too many options in my neck of the woods who would do the male pubic area. I called a whole bunch of electrologists who said they didn't work on men, but many did try to help by sending me some potential contacts. Eventually, I landed up using Papillion Center in New Hope, PA. This is the practice of Mr McGinn who is one of the foremost surgeons who do sexual reassignment in the USA and the electrologist there is Lori.
A thermolysis blend was used and yes, it was painful to varying degrees depending which part was being treated. I did get some bleeding and scabbing, but nothing that would scar. I went every 3-4 weeks starting out with one and a half hour sessions (the longest I could endure) and the to one hour ones as the reduction occurred. Didn't use any skin numbing creams but did use oral painkillers that took enough off the edge to make the pain bearable coupled with breaks every now and then.

Lori was professional and really accommodating. She had me try various body positions so I'd be the most comfortable and yet ensure the best access to my bits. The establishment is classy, clean, discreet and has good equipment.

Thank you for joining us and sharing your personal experience. It's a little harder for men to find a place to perform hair removal down below, but I think it's going to become more popular. 

Are you finished your treatments or will you be having maintenance treatments regularly?

I had to discontinue going to halfway because I had taken on a new job and Papillion only offers office hours. After yet more searching and more help from local "women only" electrologists (love those gals) I managed to find another provider who is located in NJ. I am still in her care, but my sessions are now down to half an hour every month., so you could say I'm transitioning to the "maintenance" phase now.

OMG! you are one brave guy! no numbing cream!!!

I doing the same treatment now and i take both oral pain killers and lidocaine cream and I am still in agony ! I guess ladies have a better pain threshold as they are designed to go through labour etc..

how many sessions did you need to transition to maintenance?
December 5, 2015
Perhaps because I use prescription pain killers prescribed for something else. Heh!

Probably like 10-12 hours. Bear in mind I did laser first though.

I am a male electrologist in Los Angeles, and most my clients are male, many of whom had not been able to find a woman to work on them when they heard of me. I do "manscaping" as well, but permanent removal is the way to go, and it can be done with a good deal less pain in sensitive areas than many people think. If you can make it to New York City I can refer you to an excellent electrologist there.

Hi! I'm looking for an electrologist for my boyfriend, he has hair on his base/mid shaft that is very painful during sex. Do you still provide services in LA?
September 13, 2023
Any chance you could tell me who this electrologist is? I'm close to NYC

Laser clarification

Just to be clear. I didn't get my laser done with Lori, just the electrolysis.
