Laser Hair Removal for Men
Laser hair removal has become a popular solution for men at our Fort Myers, Naples, and Bonita Springs practices. It’s a great option for men looking to reduce excessive hair in areas such as the back, chest, and legs. This procedure uses a low-energy laser to permanently reduce unwanted hair safely, effectively, and quickly. It is superior to other methods of hair removal, such as shaving or waxing, as it can remove larger areas of hair and last longer.
Who Is a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Men who are interested in reducing unwanted hair are good candidates for laser hair removal. While patients with darker pigmentation may not have been good candidates in the past, today’s lasers are able to safely treat patients with darker skin by lowering the power settings on the laser.
What Is the Treatment Procedure?
There is little pain or discomfort during the laser hair removal procedure. Nevertheless, some areas of the body are more sensitive to pain than others, and patients often report a slight stinging sensation. For this reason, a numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to maximize your comfort. Once the numbing cream takes effect, the laser device is applied to the treatment area, where it emits low-energy light pulses. This energy targets the melanin in the hair follicle and stops further growth from occurring. After treatment, the skin looks and feels smoother. Smaller areas may take as little as a few minutes to treat, while larger or multiple areas can take up to several hours.
What Is the Recovery Process for Laser Hair Removal for Men?
There is little downtime or recovery associated with laser hair removal. While some slight redness or swelling may occur, these side effects typically fade within a day. Rarely, blistering may occur. You can expect to return to work and other normal activities immediately after your treatment. After a single treatment, the hair will appear lighter, thinner, and less dense. Because the hair grows in cycles, several treatments are needed to permanently remove all hair in a given area. For many patients, an average of 3 to 4 treatments is sufficient.
What Are the Advantages of Laser Hair Removal for Men?
Laser hair removal is a great option for men looking to thin or completely get rid of unwanted hair. While you are sure to feel a rise in confidence, there is a range of other benefits of this treatment, including:
- Saving on costs for waxes, razors, trimmers, and shaving creams
- Saving time used for shaving/ waxing
- No ingrown hairs
- No razor bumps
- No irritated skin
