Men's Laser Hair Removal

A course is usually needed, with sessions spaced several weeks apart. Coarse, dense areas such as the back and chest often need a different number of sessions than finer areas. We estimate this at consultation and review your response as your course progresses.

Yes. Many men ask us to treat the neck and cheek line to create a cleaner outline while keeping the beard itself. We map the area with you before treatment so we are both clear on what will be treated, as reduction in this area is not easily reversed.

Reducing the number of hairs growing in an area often reduces ingrown hairs and shaving irritation for clients who are troubled by them. Response varies between individuals, and we will assess your skin before treatment.

The laser targets pigment, so grey, white, very blonde and red hairs respond poorly. If your hair has little pigment we will tell you at consultation rather than start a course that is unlikely to help.

Most men find it manageable. The sensation is usually described as a hot flick against the skin, and cooling is delivered with every pulse. Denser areas can feel more intense during the first sessions and usually become easier as hair reduces.

Shave the area 12 to 24 hours before, avoid sun exposure and sunbeds beforehand, and arrive with clean skin without deodorant, creams or fake tan. Tell us about any medication you take, as some increase sensitivity to light.
