Hair Removal: How to Redraw your Beard
New York

The hair removal of the beard aims to get rid of beard hair permanently. Men can use laser hair removal for several reasons:

• For a question of aesthetics. In fact, when men let their beards grow, it may be pleasant for them not to have to take care of it all the time. Thus, to avoid any maintenance, it is not uncommon that some wish to use laser hair removal on the beard.
• For a question of hygiene. The beard can sometimes be the seat of bacteria, impurities and other germs. Thus, laser hair removal appears as the ideal solution to overcome hair and avoid daily shaving.
• When practicing certain sports, especially classical dance, dancers must be hairless. To avoid a daily shave that can cause irritation, it is possible to use laser hair removal.
• Finally, when shaving is too frequent, the skin may be irritated and folliculitis may appear. Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicle characterized by the appearance of red pimples surmounted by a white point. Laser hair removal can then make the hair softer and therefore prevent skin irritation.

One to three sessions are enough to reduce the density of the beard and soften the hair. It is rare for men to depilate completely except in special cases such as transsexualism.

It takes 7 to 10 sessions of laser hair removal of the beard to obtain an optimal and definitive result. Each session lasts between 10 and 15 minutes.

Before laser hair removal, a first consultation is necessary and allows your practitioner to know your ancestry and detect any contraindications that would prevent you from using hair removal on the beard. This visit allows them to examine your hair and skin and adapt the treatment to your needs and expectations.

The day of the procedure, the doctor follows certain steps to provide you with an optimal and lasting result:

• The area to be treated is first examined to see if there are any contraindications. If the hair is too long, the beard can be shaved.
• The device is then set up and the doctor gives you safety glasses to protect your eyes from the laser beam.
• During a first session of laser hair removal, a test is performed on a small part of the body.
• After the test, the practitioner scans the area to be treated centimeter by centimeter. One second is enough to destroy about ten hairs.

After the procedure, the practitioner applies a moisturizing cream on your skin to calm the redness and reduce the burning and itching sensation.

The hairs of the beard are thick and very dense. As the hair regrows quickly, the first sessions of hair removal must be brought together to treat a maximum of hairs in phase of growth. They are then spaced out gradually.

The doctor first targets the most sensitve areas like the moustache, the chin and then the cheeks that are less sensitive.

If a paradoxical regrowth is observed, that is to say a growth of hair on an area not treated by the laser, but close to a treated surface, the number of sessions as well as the duration of the treatment could be lengthened .
