Not only are women already "slaves" of perfect clothes and bodies, but men are increasingly opting to present themselves as super curated, hairless. Summer is the season in which we want the most perfectly polished and waxed skin, but which parts of the body are most waxed by women and men?
The chest, legs and bikini area hold the top spot for women. Italians dislike hairs and rely on waxing, shaving and even laser hair removal, chosen today by 53% of men and women. As stated by Dr. Paolo Sbano, dermatologist at Santa Maria alle Scotte Hospital in Siena, "before and during the summer there is a real boom in hair removal requirements, with a significant increase in chest and abdominal treatments for men and legs, hips and armpits for women".

In addition to foot (51%), armpit (42%) and groin area (34%) treatments, facial and decolletage treatment is also a major requirement if you suffer from hirsutism, but also for removing hairs and nipples . 20% of treatments relate to this part of the body. "It is usually advisable to combine laser interventions with adequate hormone therapy, always be evaluated by a doctor, as the widespread presence of facial hair or décolletage is affected by hormone activity which, in this case, does not function properly."

And guys? It is now common practice among millennials, but more and more adults are turning to waxing, at least 44% of men under 35 years old. Chest and shoulders are the most sought after tradition, even if today we are talking about waxing of intimate parts, back, chest and pubis.
