Question by Tai: Why do Asian men in South Korea(or maybe other countries too) get “chin and jaw reduction” plastic surgery?
I heard that one of the more popular plastic surgery procedures in Korean men other than eyelid surgery is chin and jaw reduction… why? I would think men would like having a more stronger, manlier jaw, wouldn’t they? Why do they want a feminine jaw if they are men?

this wasn’t meant to be offensive I just thought it was ironic since they are men I would think they want a manlier jaw but no they want a more feminine jaw. why? lol just curious

Question by Ms.Happy: “laser hair reduction” different from “laser hair removal”?
Hello,
I have my first appointment coming up for laser on my face and i was reading the brochure for the place i’m going to and i realized it says “laser hair REDUCTION” and not “removal”.
does this make a difference? is the place just being realistic and all lasers are reduction and not removal? or should i be finding a place that says “removal”?

it’s an IPA laser, a lot of them use this I think…

Please help! i’m confusedd

Laser hair removal and laser hair reduction are the same, it is just two different ways providers market the procedure. Both of these terms are accurate. Hair removal is an accurate description because it does remove the hair after a series of treatments. These treatments typically do not cause permanent hair removal and touch up treatments will probably be required in the future to stay hair free. After going through the series of laser treatments, the hair that does grow back is usually thinner lighter hair that is not nearly as noticable. Given these facts, one could say the treatment is either permanent hair reduction or temporary hair removal and both terms would be true. The only term that you need to be wary of is a claim of permanent hair removal. There is no such thing in the world of laser hair removal.

I assume you meant IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) as the laser that the place is using. Technically speaking it is not a laser but, it is a very commonly used device. Some doctors feel that the IPL isn’t as effective as a laser for removing hair, but there are a lot of doctors that will swear by thier IPL machines.

What this all boils down to is that you should always make sure whoever is performing the procedure on you is experienced in what they are doing. A practitioner skilled in the use of IPL will do a better job than an amatuer using the best laser in the world.
