Why More Men are Getting Laser Hair Removal
There’s a lot of stigma and myth surrounding laser hair removal – it’s painful, it leaves you completely hairless, the list goes on. The truth of the matter, however, is that laser hair removal is often the best long term option for anyone looking to relieve themselves of unwanted body hair.
Laser hair removal is cost effective, quick, low risk, and can be tailored to your desired amount of leftover body hair. Keep reading to learn why more men are choosing laser than ever before!

What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works by sending a small ray of concentrated energy, in the form of light, into each hair follicle. With repeated treatments, the follicle eventually becomes too weak to reproduce and grow new hairs. The most common areas for men to receive treatment on are: back, chest, beard lines & neck, and scalp.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
It Has Long Term Results
After a completed treatment cycle, you may never experience hair growth in certain areas again. Thinning and shedding start as soon as 1 week after the first session, and progress until regrowth stops completely!
You Decide What Results Look Like
If you desire a completely hairless look on any given area, complete a full treatment cycle with touch-up appointments. If you’re simply looking to thin out the hair on your neck or back, schedule 1-2 sessions. You can shave in between sessions if desired, so there’s no pressure to grow out any unwanted hair while it thins out!
It Eliminates Ingrown Hairs and Irritation
This method of hair removal is the only known treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae, clusters of inflamed ingrown hairs that grow sporadically and can cause permanent scarring. This condition is caused by shaving, but can be easily corrected through laser.
It Helps Athletes
Laser Hair Removal is becoming the go-to for athletes who frequently shave/wax large areas of their bodies, including swimmers, cyclists, and bodybuilders. Because laser hair removal leaves no surface level skin damage, it eliminates the possibility of cuts and ingrowns getting infected from locker rooms or pools.
How to Prepare
Book a Consultation
The first step in going forward with laser hair removal is booking a consultation with a certified provider. You’ll discuss how to prepare for your first session, what recovery looks like, and any other questions or concerns you may have.
Shave
You’ll want to shave a day or two before treatment, but avoid waxing or tweezing.
Avoid Sun Exposure
You should avoid prolonged or unprotected sun exposure for 2 weeks before getting laser hair removal. Any sunburn, even minor, greatly increases the risk of developing blisters during your recovery after treatment.
