Laser hair removal is not only a treatment for women. Many men choose it for comfort, hygiene, sport or simply to save time on shaving. This article explains which areas are commonly treated and what you can expect at our clinic.
Commonly treated areas
- back and shoulders
- chest and abdomen
- neck and beard contour
- underarms
- arms and legs
For the beard area we usually treat the contour or the neck rather than the whole beard, so that the result looks natural. Your therapist will discuss this with you.
Shaving irritation and ingrown hairs
Regular shaving of coarse hair can lead to irritation and ingrown hairs, especially on the neck. Reducing hair growth may help some clients with this, but individual results vary.
How a treatment course works
Hair grows in cycles, so laser hair removal is carried out as a series of sessions. Depending on your skin and hair type, we usually recommend between 6 and 12 sessions, about four weeks apart.
Preparing for your session
- shave the area with a razor one day before
- do not wax, epilate or pluck between sessions
- arrive with clean skin, without perfume or body lotion
- avoid sunbathing and tanning before treatment
After the session
Avoid direct sunlight and hot baths for one to two days and use sun protection. If the skin feels irritated, aloe vera gel can be soothing.
Frequently asked questions
Does laser hair removal hurt for men?
Most clients describe a short warm or snapping sensation. Your therapist adjusts the settings for your comfort.
Is it suitable for very dark or very light hair?
Suitability depends on your skin and hair type; very light, grey or red hair responds less well to laser. We assess this at the consultation.
Can I go to the gym after a session?
We recommend avoiding intense sweating and heat on the treated area for one to two days.
