Everything you need to know about laser hair removal for men: prices, age, pain

Men are becoming more and more interested in laser hair removal to get rid of hair on the chest, back, underarms, or bikini line. However, most people are still not sufficiently informed about the treatment, which leaves them perplexed about its effectiveness.

Between effectiveness, pain, number of sessions, prices and the ideal age, we answer all your questions on laser hair removal for men .

Laser hair removal for men: how does it work?

How does laser hair removal for men work? The laser emits a powerful and highly precise beam of light targeting the hair pigment. This light transforms into heat and destroys the hair follicle. By the end of your treatment, you'll have no more hair regrowth problems for a very long time.

At each session, the laser beam only destroys about 20-25% of the hairs, since not all of them are in the anagen phase. Note that laser hair removal is only effective during the growth phase (anagen), which requires you to have several sessions to be able to eliminate the hairs that could not be targeted.

As the sessions progress, your hair will fall out until there is no more hair in the treated area. You can stop your treatment as soon as you are completely satisfied with the results.

Is laser hair removal effective on men?

Yes, laser hair removal works equally well on women and men. However, the therapist must develop a protocol specifically for men, since their hair is denser and thicker than women's, but they are still receptive to the laser.

The laser is more compatible with dark hairs concentrated in melanin, but not with light hairs such as white, blonde, gray, and red. Pigmented hairs are most amenable to treatment. But the good news is that all skin types, whether light, mixed, or black, can be treated with laser hair removal.

For light hair, we have a solution for you that is just as effective and 100% permanent. Check out our article to learn how to permanently remove white hair.

What areas can men treat with laser?

Men can have laser hair removal on all areas of the body, such as:

• back and shoulders,
• the torso and the stomach,
• the jaw, beard and neck,
• armpits and pubic areas (bikini line),
• arms and legs.

Some people have regrowth in more troublesome areas such as the ears, cheeks, eyebrows... All these small areas can be treated too!
