What all men need to know about laser hair removal

Most men have been shaving their beards since adolescence and some have gotten used to also clipping/shaving or waxing their body hairs.. However, while some can see it as a sign of masculinity, for others it can be a real inconvenience.  Because of that, lots of men are starting to get over their preconception that laser hair removal is only meant for women, and are actually really starting to seek for this treatment as a solution for their body hair issues.

 

Here’s just a few reasons why you should quit the razor/waxing and join us in the laser hair removal club:

 

  • Laser prevents bumps and ingrown hairs
  • It removes up to 99% of the hair
  • It leaves the skin silky smooth
  • When done on the back of the neck, it will make your  haircut last longer, leaving a neat neckline. 
  • All body areas can be treated
  • Low maintenance – you will only need treatment once a month, for around 8-10 sessions.
  • Virtually pain free.

 

What can men do to prepare?

              Two weeks before treatment

  • Do not wax, pluck or tweeze the area. This will ensure the hair is in the follicle and the laser can treat it;
  • Do not have cosmetic injections or skin treatments – the laser can’t be used on broken skin;
  • Avoid direct sun exposure on the areas treated, fake tans and solariums, since these increase the risk of pigmentation

 

              24 hours before treatment

  •  Shave the area to ensure the laser is absorbed by the hair follicle below the skin’s surface.

 

Should patients look for a laser clinic that especialises in male treatments?
No, the most important thing is to choose a clinic that uses the latest laser technology,  and that has experienced trained laser therapists to be able to perform your treatment safely. At Skinnovation Laser Clinic, we use Candela GentleLASE machine, which is the world’s most efficient hair reduction system.

10 Reasons to ditch the razor and try laser hair removal

4540620_orig

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular beauty treatments available for both men and women who are seeking to obtain smooth hair free skin with long lasting results.

 

Are you still a bit unsure if you should switch to permanent laser hair reduction? Here’s 10 reasons why you definitely should:

 

  1. Long- lasting results:  laser hair removal will permanently reduce the amount of hair from 85 to 99% in just around 8 to 10 sessions in total, as opposed to other hair removal methods such as shaving, plucking and waxing, where constant maintenance is required.
  2. It will suit almost every one: laser is suitable to both man and women of most ages, with any skin types, that have dark hair. Laser will not be effective on blond, grey, white or red hairs. If in doubt, a test patch is always a good way to see if you hair is suitable or not for laser hair removal.
  3. Cost effective: laser hair removal these days is pretty cost effective and the pricing is not that much different to waxing for example. The big difference it makes in your pocket is the amount of sessions it takes for you to say bye for good to all your unwanted hairs. Laser hair removal is a one off upfront investment, which will give you permanent results, whereas other methods of hair removal will be ongoing for the rest of your life.
  4. Saves time: say goodbye to wasting that extra precious time in the shower shaving off all your unwanted hairs. Did you know the average man will shave around 20,000 times in a lifetime and the average woman around 8,000 times? How much time will that take? With laser hair removal you will only need to dedicate a few minutes of your time once a month for about 10 times and then voila! Done! Time is money so that is reason enough to invest in laser hair removal.
  5. No more ingrown hairs: if you suffer from ingrown hairs, then laser is the best solution for you as it cuts off the blood flow to hair follicle, resulting in the hairs fall out from the root and eliminating the possibility of ingrown hairs, which is commonly caused by waxing and shaving.
  6. Virtually pain free: when compared to hair removal techniques which pulls the hair from the root, laser hair removal is way less painful, specially with the new advances in technology and the use of cooling devices which make the sessions more comfortable with no lingering pain afterwards.
  7. Mess free: unlike other methods such as shaving, waxing and IPL, laser hair removal is mess free, with no need for shaving cream, gels and sticky wax.
  8. Low maintenance: after you’re done with your course of treatments (8-10 sessions) you will then go into the “maintenance phase”, only requiring touch up sessions either once or twice a year, depending on your personal needs.
  9. Safe: if done correctly by a trained professional, laser is proven to be a safe method of hair removal. The laser beam will target and damage only the hair, leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected.
  10. Self-confidence boost: with laser hair removal you will never have to worry about embarrassing body or facial hair again. You will look and feel amazing!
