Laser Hair Removal for Men

Laser hair removal is a permanent hair removal procedure. Very successful, this treatment is almost painless and can eliminate about 90% of the hair.

For laser hair removal, only hair containing enough melanin can be removed so that red, blond or white hair cannot be handled. The light beam is attracted by the melanin found in the hair that converts the energy of the laser into heat and eliminates the bulb and follicle.

Whether for esthetic, practical or medical purposes, all areas of the body may be treated: arms, legs, shoulders, private parts, etc. The areas most demanded by men are the back, the torso and the beard.

Despite the demand, laser hair removal continues to be a type of hair removal done under the supervision of a medical specialist.

In order to have a laser hair removal session, the dermatologist must be consulted during the first visit. This first appointment is crucial because it is at the conclusion of this first phase that a very precise and adapted laser is prescribed for the patient. After a short meeting on the patient's motives, the dermatologist will perform a local review of the areas to be treated. They determine the quality of the skin, its phototype and the hair quality.

The dermatologist evaluates all the contraindications that might bring the laser hair removal process into question. The existence of a tattoo on the area to be treated or a persistent tan presents major risks of burning.

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

The patient should have shaved the area being treated on the day of the session. The dermatologist positions the laser manually on the skin. Successively, the laser covers an area of approximately 2 cm2. At the same time, a jet of cold air is blown to reduce the tingling feeling.

At the end of the treatment, a repair cream is applied to soothe the skin and burn.

A few days after the session, the patient can notice the results. The hairs of the treated area have been destroyed and a smooth, clean skin can now be felt.

As sessions progress, the hair grows less rapidly, the hair is less numerous and the outlines are less clear. Men who only want to reduce their hair, as is often the case with the chest or stomach, a few sessions are enough. An annual maintenance session is then recommended to remove small re-growths.

Prices differ depending on the area and the amount of time required for the service.
