Men’s Laser Hair Removal

Men’s laser hair removal is a highly effective and increasingly popular solution for long-term hair reduction. This treatment uses advanced laser technology to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. It is suitable for various body areas, including chest, back, full legs, arms, neck, face, and even specific zones, such as the ears or intimate areas (Brazillian or Hollywood). Unlike traditional methods, such as shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers a more permanent and low-maintenance alternative for achieving smoother, hair free skin.

Whether our male clients are looking to maintain a well-groomed appearance, enhance their athletic performance, or simply reduce irritation caused by shaving or ingrown hair, men’s laser hair removal may be an excellent option for them. Laser hair removal for men has become a go-to solution for achieving lasting results.

Laser hair removal works by directing focused beams of light into the hair follicles. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light energy, which destroys the follicles and inhibits their ability to produce hair. Over multiple sessions, this process leads to significantly reduced hair growth in the treated areas.

Pain levels during laser hair removal vary depending on the individual’s tolerance and the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as mild snapping or tingling, similar to the flick of a rubber band. Modern laser technology, such as LightSheer Desire Laser, incorporates cooling and suction mechanisms to minimise discomfort, making the experience manageable and far less painful than waxing. Areas with thicker or denser hair may feel slightly more sensitive, but the discomfort is temporary and subsides quickly after the session. Our male clients may opt get a numb cream to be applied 45-60 minutes before the treatment. However, we do not recommend to use it at the first session to understand the sensitivity tolerance levels to maximise safety.

You can expect to see noticeable results after just a few sessions. Hair growth will become finer and sparser as the treatments progress. For optimal results, most men require 8-10 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The timeline varies based on factors, such as hair thickness, growth cycle, and the treated area. Once your sessions are completed, you are likely to enjoy significantly reduced hair growth and smoother skin.

While laser hair removal is considered to be a form of permanent hair removal for men, it is essential to understand that some hair may regrow over time. However, regrowth is typically minimal, finer, and lighter in colour. Periodic maintenance sessions may be needed for some individuals to sustain the results long-term. Compared to traditional hair removal methods, laser treatments provide the most long lasting solution.

Yes, it is a legal requirement for laser hair removal treatments with a medical grade laser, such as LightSheer Diode Laser, to have a consultation and a laser patch test before starting your treatment. During the consultation, our laser therapists assess your skin type, hair colour, and medical history to create a personalised treatment plan. The patch test involves applying the laser to a small area to check for skin sensitivity and ensure safety. The patch test is required to be taken at least 72 hours prior the actual laser hair removal treatment.

After each session, your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal reaction and typically subsides within a few hours. In some cases, you may experience slight swelling or sensitivity, but this is temporary. Applying a soothing gel or cream, such as non-alcoholic aloe vera gel is recommended to help alleviate these effects.

Following the pre-care guidelines is crucial for effective and safe treatment. Here are the key steps to prepare:

1. Shave the area to be treated: shave the treatment area the night before or the same morning of your laser appointment to allow the laser beam to target the pigment inside the hair follicle and not to be wasted on the hair pigment above the skin.
2. Avoid sun exposure: refrain from tanning or exposing the treatment area to direct sunlight for at least four weeks before your laser session. If you are going or coming back from holidays, ensure that you wait for at least 4 weeks before your next laser session.
3. Skip waxing and plucking your hair: avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams in the 4 weeks leading up to your treatment. These methods remove the hair root, and the laser will not, therefore, be able to target the hair pigment in the hair root if the hair is taken out.
4. Avoid certain products: do not apply heavy skincare products, oils, or lotions on the day of your session to minimise the risk of potential irritation.
5. Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water and maintain healthy skin by moisturising regularly in the days leading up to your appointment.

To ensure a seamless experience with laser hair removal for men in our London clinic, proper preparation and aftercare are vital. Preparation includes shaving of the treatment area as directed, avoiding sun exposure and tanning products, as well as refraining from harsh exfoliants or active ingredients, such as retinol on the treatment area. Aftercare may include the use of aloe vera gel or a soothing cream to calm the skin. In addition, avoiding hot showers, saunas, or intense physical activity for at least 72 hours is recommended. It is advised to protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen with at least SPF 50. Furthermore, laser clients should avoid exfoliating the area right after the laser treatment until any redness or sensitivity subsides.
