Are you tired of shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted facial or body hair? Is razor burn or itchy stubble a constant battle? If this sounds like you, laser hair removal for men could be the long-lasting solution you didn’t know you needed.
Laser hair removal continues to become more and more popular with men each year, and for good reason. Take a look at some of the best benefits of laser hair removal for men, how it works and what to expect during and after your appointment.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in actively growing hair follicles with concentrated light energy. The heat from the laser damages the follicles, inhibiting their ability to produce new hair. Over multiple sessions, hair growth becomes finer and lighter, leading to a significant reduction in hair density in the treated area(s).
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions because not all hairs in any given area are in their active growth, or anagen, phase at the same time. Hairs that are in other stages of the growth cycle will not be affected during a single laser hair removal session.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Men
Laser hair removal offers several advantages that make it a game-changer for men:
- Long-lasting results. Unlike with shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results that do not require regular maintenance – so you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for months or even years.
- No more razor burn or skin irritation. Other methods of hair removal often leave men with uncomfortable side effects like razor burn, irritation or itching. After getting laser hair removal, these skin issues will be things of the past.
-
- Time and cost savings. Over time, laser hair removal can be more cost-effective than regular shaving or waxing, saving both time and money in the long run.
- Confidence booster. Laser hair removal can deliver smooth, hair-free skin in virtually any area of your face or body, boosting confidence and enhancing comfort in everyday activities.
Common Areas Men Get Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can effectively remove hair in just about any area of your face or body, but these are some of the most common areas that men get LHR:
- Chest
- Back
- Stomach
- Groin
- Neck
- Ears
- Between the eyebrows
What to Expect During Your LHR Appointment
When you arrive for your treatment, one of our skilled laser specialists will guide you through the process, explaining each step along the way. A topical numbing cream will be applied prior to treatment to maximize your comfort. You may experience a mild stinging or warming sensation during the procedure, though this is generally well-tolerated. The entire treatment from start to finish typically takes around 60 minutes.
While there is no downtime associated with laser hair removal, your skin may be red and slightly swollen directly after your appointment, though this should resolve on its own. You will also need to stay out of the sun for the duration of your laser hair removal treatment process.
Male Laser Hair Removal Results
You should see an immediate reduction in the amount of hair in the treated area after laser hair removal, though it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 treatment sessions to completely remove all of the hair in the treated area. Expect results to gradually improve with each treatment.
