Most of us have seen or heard of athletes removing facial and body hair…it’s a pretty common thing in sports like swimming, cycling and body building. What’s the big benefit of going hairless in competition? For certain athletes, removing facial and body hair can make the difference between winning and losing. Even if the advantage is ever so slight, some athletes feel that it’s worth removing their hair.

• Many professional swimmers choose to go hairless because hair can cause an ever so slight amount of friction in the water.
• Some cyclists believe that having no body hair helps their Lycra shorts fit better, improving both aerodynamics and comfort.
• And then there are those body builders…their hairless bodies are a great way to accent those bulging biceps and pumped up pecs just a little more!

Regardless of the reason, these athletes will do what it takes to win, even if that means removing hair. While shaving and plucking may remain popular options for hair removal, in Los Angeles laser hair removal at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates can easily and permanently reduce the amount of hair on your body. And you don’t need to be a professional athlete to benefit!

If you’re looking for a smooth, hair-free appearance, I encourage you to consider laser hair removal.
