Laser hair removal for men works similarly to the process for women, utilising concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles. Here’s how it typically works:

• Consultation: The process typically begins with a consultation to assess your skin type, hair colour, and medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for laser hair removal.
• Preparation: Before your treatment, you may be advised to shave the treatment area to ensure the laser/IPL energy targets the hair follicles beneath the surface of the skin.
• IPL Treatment: During your treatment, a handheld device emitting laser energy is passed over the treatment area. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light energy, which converts to heat. This heat damages the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
• Cooling: Our devices include cooling mechanisms to minimise discomfort and protect the surrounding skin during treatment from burns or side effect.
• Multiple Sessions: Since hair grows in cycles and laser/IPL hair removal is most effective on actively growing hairs, multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart are typically needed to achieve optimal results. This can be from 6 to 8 sessions.
• Post-Treatment Care: After each session, you may experience some redness or mild discomfort in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. It’s essential to follow any post-treatment instructions provided such as avoiding sun exposure and using moisturisers or soothing creams as needed.

   

  Laser/IPL hair removal for men can effectively target hair on various areas of the body, including the back, chest, shoulders, abdomen, arms, legs, and face. However, it’s important to note that laser hair removal may be less effective on lighter hair colours (such as blonde or grey) or for individuals with darker skin tones, as the laser may not be able to differentiate between the pigment in the hair follicles and the surrounding skin.
