Sick of waxing your chest? Tired of manscaping your back?
Lots of guys are sick of the upkeep that comes with removing unwanted hair, which is why laser hair removal for men is becoming more and more popular.
If you’re thinking about getting laser treatment for your unwanted body hair, we’re breaking down everything your need to know about laser hair removal. This includes, how it works, what it feels like, and what you can expect before, during and after.
How Does Laser Hair Removal for Men Work?
Laser hair removal treatments involve the use of laser technology. The laser emit pulses of light energy into the skin to target the root and the hair follicles. Once the root and the follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow, and the result is permanent hair reduction.
Depending on the size of the area, most guy’s will need multiple seasons for best results. We normally recommend a course of six.
This is because the hair, as it grown, goes through three different stages. The laser is only effective on hair’s that’s in the growth phase, and individual hairs are always in different phases.
What Areas of the Body can be Treated?
In fact, any area of the body can be treated with laser, from the face to intimate areas, to whole body laser hair removal.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Everyone’s body reacts differently to laser treatments. Some people see permanent results, while others only see temporary hair reduction. Those that see temporary hair reduction will need a touch-up treat every year.
What To Do Before Laser Hair Removal
Ideally if you can shave the area that is going to be treated, along with cleaning the skin. Avoid using sun-beds 48 hours prior to session.
What To Expect After Treatment
Some people may see redness and swelling in the area, especially for the first few hours. However, for the most effective results, stay out of the sun. Wear loose clothing so that you don’t sweat in the treated area, and don’t head to the gym. For the first 48 hours after a session, and guy’s try to avoid working out.
