Women are not the only ones booking multiple laser hair removal sessions nowadays. Laser Hair Removal for men has become extremely popular and trendy because it saves men time and allows the permanent removal of hair in hard-to-reach areas such as the back and shoulders. 

Laser Hair Removal treatments for men involve the use of laser light technology and converting it into heat to target the hair follicle. When laser light energy pulses are directed onto an area of unwanted hair, the melanin, which gives your hair and skin color, absorbs the laser light energy and converts it into heat. The heat then travels down the hair into the follicle, damaging the follicle and preventing it from producing hair. Once the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow and the result is permanent hair reduction for men. 

There is absolutely no difference between laser hair removal for men or women as the technology is the same, the machine is the same, and the only thing that changes are the settings that are customized to your individual skin type and hair type to ensure a safe and effective treatment. 

Most men will see hair reduction after the first laser hair removal session. However, on average it could take anywhere from 6 to 9 treatments to obtain ideal results. The beauty of our laser hair removal for men is that you will see results after each treatment as long as you stay consistent. Results and treatments do vary from person to person as some people have stronger hair follicles and genetics than others. 

Like anyone else, men should get laser hair removal once every 4-5 weeks to ensure the laser targets the hair follicle at the right growth stage. Once an initial series of 6-9 treatments have been completed it is recommended to move into touch-up sessions to maintain results once every 3-4 months. 

Although tolerance for pain is different for many people, especially those with sensitive skin, laser hair removal for men does not hurt as there is only a slight feeling of a snap on the skin for a very brief moment. Our lasers also are extremely fast and blast cold air on top of the skin to ensure there is minimal discomfort. If for some reason there is discomfort for you we recommend applying an OTC topical numbing cream 1 hour prior to your treatment to ensure you do not feel a single thing. 

Laser Hair Removal for men has been around for quite some time, and millions of treatments have been performed worldwide both in clinical trials as well as medical spas resulting in data that proves that laser hair removal is truly a safe and effective treatment for hair removal. The most common side effects include some slight skin redness and irritation after the treatment, along with some slight swelling that usually passes within 24 hours.
