Laser hair removal for men: the ideal solution for hair removal

Laser hair removal is a technique to get rid of hair permanently. Very effective, this treatment is almost painless and can destroy about 90% of the hair.

For laser hair removal, only hair that contains enough melanin can be removed thus, red, blond or white hairs can not be treated. The light beam is attracted by the melanin contained in the hair which transforms the laser energy into heat and destroys the bulb and follicle.

Whether for aesthetic, practical or medical reasons, all areas of the body can be treated: arms, legs, shoulders, private parts, etc. The most requested areas by men are the back, the torso and the beard.

Despite a growing demand, laser hair removal remains a method of hair removal performed under the supervision of a medical specialist.

In order to have a laser hair removal session, it is imperative to consult a dermatologist during a first consultation. This first appointment is important because it is at the end of this first step that a very specific and adapted laser is prescribed to the patient. After a brief meeting on the patient's motives, the dermatologist conducts a local examination of the areas to be treated. They evaluate the quality of the skin, its phototype and the caliber of the hair.

The dermatologist evaluates all the contraindications that could call into question the laser hair removal process. The presence of a tattoo on the area to be treated or a persistent tan pose significant risks of burning.

When the dermatologist makes sure that all the lights are green, he prescribes a number of laser sessions as well as a laser adapted to the skin phototype.

The day of the session, the patient should have shaved the area being treated. The dermatologist manually projects the laser on the skin. Successively, the laser covers an area of about 2 cm2. A jet of cold air is blasted simultaneously to reduce the tingling sensation.

At the end of the procedure, a repair cream is applied to soothe the skin and burns.

A few days after the session, the patient can already see the results. The hairs of the treated area are destroyed and a smooth and clean skin can already be felt.

As sessions progress, the hairs grow less quickly, less numerous and the outlines are less visible. Men who just want a decrease in their hair, as is often the case on the chest or stomach, a few sessions are enough. An annual maintenance session is then recommended to eliminate small regrowths.

The price of permanent male hair removal is very variable depending on the area to be treated.
