It’s 2025 and a new normal for men and their grooming needs. Of course, we’re talking about manscaping. Many men prefer a cleaner, groomed look at all times. And while man-grooming is part of many a man’s daily routine, it’s important to realize many options are available to help them achieve that aesthetic. Read on to discover everything you need to know about manscaping.

What Is Manscaping?

Manscaping is body grooming by a man below the neck for a cosmetic or stylish effect. It’s a phrase that gained popularity in the early 2000s.

It’s an aesthetic that’s appealing to more men, but there are also tangible benefits to manscaping, including: 

  • Appearance: Many people want to highlight the results of their hard work in the gym. Without any hair, you can show off that six-pack or shoulders the way you want.
  • Athletic performance: Swimming, bodybuilding, and cycling benefit from manscaping. Seriously, less hair means less resistance, which can improve performance and results.
  • Confidence: A cleaner look yields more confidence. And it allows you to better accentuate the features of your body.
  • Comfort: Hair won’t get caught in clothing. Plus, no hair means you’ll drastically reduce the chance of ingrown hair and razor burn.
  • Hygiene: No body hair in the area may reduce the chance for bacteria and odor. It’s also easier to keep the area clean.
  • Sexual wellness: Being hair-free in an intimate area can enhance the feeling and lead to a more fulfilling sex life.

Popular Manscaping Styles and Techniques

Manscaping isn’t exclusive to one part of the body. Men can approach the hair-removal in many ways:

  • Taming Chest Hair: Many trimmers are tailored for the male chest with angled heads for just that task. Other popular chest hair-removal methods include shaving, waxing, depilatory creams, electrolysis, and laser hair removal.
  • Manscaping the Back: Trimming your back can be very difficult. After all, how many people can successfully remove back hair themselves? Specialized devices are available for this, but you’ll need the assistance of another person to get hair-free, regardless of the hair-removal method.
  • Manscaping Below the Belt: We now live in a world where trimmers are designed for this very purpose. Men are looking for effective methods to maintain their pubic hair. Beyond trimmers, popular manscaping options include shaving, waxing, and laser hair removal.

The benefits here aren’t only for aesthetic purposes; many men who spend most of their workday standing or sitting for long periods of time can feel a difference, too. 

“If they work outside, or in a factory, mill, or really anywhere, it can help with sweating down there,” said Milan Laser Provider Educator Alyssa A. “It can also help with ingrown hairs. Men come in who have cysts down there they want us to treat. Their doctor will send them to Milan to have that area treated, which will help that area heal for them.”

Safety, Aftercare, and Avoiding Irritation When Manscaping

Hair-removal is only part of getting the most out of manscaping. The right aftercare can make the journey smooth in every sense of the word.

Prep

If trimming is your preferred method, make sure you rinse your razor often to avoid bacteria and clumping of hair. Also, showering, exfoliating, and, if possible, combing the hair to be addressed can make the process move quickly.

Minimizing Irritation

Shaving with the grain of your hairs and not changing the direction of your shave will yield the best results. Also, showering the area for a short time will soften your skin and make your manscaping easier.

Preventing Ingrown Hairs

Exfoliating and moisturizing your skin regularly will help prevent the potential for ingrown hairs and razor burn. There’s also another method of hair-removal that can help address the issue. We’ll discuss more below.

Laser Hair Removal: The Ultimate Manscaping Solution

If you want to get and remain hair-free without the hassles of outdated hair-removal methods, there really isn’t a better option than laser hair removal, which offers:

  • Long-lasting results: With regular treatments (many clients are completely hair-free after seven to 10 sessions), you’ll be left with smooth, hair-free skin. And if you choose Milan Laser Hair Removal and its Unlimited Package™,  you’ll pay one price and remain hair-free for life. 
  • Reduced ingrown hairs: Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle at its root, stopping hair growth. With no hair growing, it can’t curl back into the hair follicle, forming ingrown hairs.
  • Smoother skin: No more shaving or waxing to achieve your manscaping needs, which results in smoother skin. You won’t deal with the hassles of pesky stubble or razor burn either.
  • Convenience: Keeping laser hair removal on your calendar and letting the professionals handle everything is much easier than doing your own manscaping for your back, chest, stomach, and private areas.
