Shaving can be an arduous, time-consuming chore that leads to unsightly five o’clock shadows in men.
Laser facial hair removal has become an increasingly popular choice for men who want to keep a beard while not spending hours shaving each week. But does it really work?
It’s Painless
Hair removal may seem to be exclusively associated with women, but many men struggle with unwanted facial hair as well. From peach fuzz on the upper lip to heavy moustaches and sideburns, laser hair removal can effectively address unwanted tufts – and help prevent razor burn and painful ingrown hairs from shaving!
Light energy targeted to dark pigment is safely used by laser technology to destroy hair follicles that would otherwise grow back, leaving your face smooth and hair-free. Unlike waxing or other manual hair removal methods, laser hair removal does not cause damage to the skin and can treat larger areas of the body. Depending on the color, length and thickness of hair that needs removal, multiple sessions may be needed in order to permanently get rid of unwanted strands.
If the pain of laser treatments makes you nervous, there are ways you can make it more bearable. Try not shaver for two days prior to your appointment and use a numbing spray or cream available from most laser clinics; additionally it would be wise to avoid hot water, direct sun exposure and overly perfumed or chemical-powered skincare products before commencing treatments.
Many men are turning to laser beard shaping as an easy and painless way to keep their facial hair short and neat without needing to use razors every day, or risk experiencing painful razor burn. This solution is especially beneficial for men with unruly beards that are difficult to keep under control, or who want to sculpt their facial hair into desired styles.
Laser beard shaping can also reduce redness or enlarged pores on the face, making it look more youthful and appealing. It is an excellent solution for men suffering from chronic ingrown hairs or those undergoing male-to-female transitioning who wish to create more feminine features on their facial structure. Furthermore, this process is safe and efficient even on sensitive facial skin.
It’s Fast
As reported by King of Shaves, men on average will shave an estimated 20,000 times over their lifetimes according to this statistic. Shaving can be an exhausting and unpleasant task with ingrown hairs, razor burn, red bumpy skin and ingrowns being common side effects of shaving. Utilizing laser treatments for facial hair removal can permanently decrease shaving time as well as eliminate these annoying issues and restore silky smooth and flawless skin!
Laser hair removal differs from shaving and waxing in that it targets only those hairs you wish to remove, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged while simultaneously reducing pigmentation problems caused by hair growth such as folliculitis. Furthermore, these treatments are especially helpful for people with dark hair who struggle with unwanted stubble or facial hair growth.
Many men want the convenience of maintaining a beard without needing to groom it every day, yet don’t have the time or desire for daily grooming sessions. Laser beard shaping is an excellent solution for those who do not wish to grow out a full beard but would still like a sculpted appearance. Our clients frequently utilize laser hair removal in certain areas of their goatee or other sculpted beard in order to easily shape it over time.
Laser hair removal can benefit not only men but women and transgender people as well. Lasers offer quick, safe hair removal solutions that can treat any area of the body; particularly beneficial in cases involving dark-haired individuals or those with light complexions.
Beards that lack confidence are unsightly. To bring back your face’s youthful radiance and boost your self-esteem, try laser beard shaping. In just a few treatments you’ll achieve silky-smooth complexion that gives both face and neck an aura of healthiness.
It’s Effective
No matter if it’s an unibrow, sideburns or that pesky five o’clock shadow, laser hair removal can give you the skin you desire. It works by emitting light particles which absorb into dark pigmentation of facial hair roots at their source to destroy them on contact – meaning no irritation for you! Better still? Having laser treatment during lunch break!
Men are increasingly turning to laser hair removal in order to cut out shaving, reduce razor burn and shape their beards into their desired style. Compared with electrolysis – which involves inserting needles into each individual hair follicle and applying electrical current in order to destroy it – laser treatment is quick, safe and painless, suitable for all skin types and hair colors so can even be used on sensitive areas such as the neck, chest or shoulders without fear of irritation.
Not every man wants a full undead look, and for those who do not, laser beard shaping may help reduce the thickness of a heavy beard, making it easier for shaves. Furthermore, it helps eliminate bumpy stubble that causes bumpy shaving experiences as well as bumps between sessions. Furthermore, laser beard shaping can tame thick manes to give them a more refined appearance.
One of the main advantages of laser beard shaping is eliminating the need for razors entirely, saving hours in front of the mirror while eliminating risk of cuts and nicks. Laser beard shaping may also help those suffering from beardruff – caused by dead skin cells collecting in facial hair follicles – by smoothing away dead cells build-up on face hair follicles.
To achieve a successful result, it’s recommended to avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least a week prior to treatment. Shaving 24 hours beforehand allows the laser to effectively target hair follicles; for optimal results a series of treatments may be necessary, each quick and painless; likened to rubber bands snapping against your skin.
It’s Affordable
Laser hair removal uses a targeted laser technique that removes only those hairs you want removed, eliminating stubble or five o’clock shadow without the painful razor burn or unsightly cuts associated with shaving cream or gel products. Plus, laser treatments are more cost effective.
Men with black or brown facial hair tend to make excellent candidates for laser treatment, as the laser light used absorbs more readily by pigmented dark follicles than it would with lighter-haired men. Blond or light haired men may still benefit from laser therapy, though additional sessions will likely be necessary than for dark-haired individuals.
Many men have grown weary of spending hours shaving each week, searching for an easier alternative. A growing number of them are turning to beard shaping and laser hair removal as a permanent way to tame unruly manes and create an impressive new look they can be proud to show off.
Laser beard shaping can be done quickly in just a few sessions that typically last 15-20 minutes each. Although not painful, some describe it as feeling similar to snapping of a rubber band.
Once treatments are complete, hair growth will gradually slow and the treatment area will become permanently free from hair growth. Many men report experiencing an immediate change in facial hair thickness after just a few treatments, providing much-needed relief for those living with thick, coarse facial hair.
If you’re ready to finally rid yourself of unwanted hair on your face, the key to successful sessions is proper preparation. Avoid sun exposure and ensure your skin is free from perfumed or chemical-powered skincare products prior to scheduling an appointment with a laser beam based treatment provider. Avoid shaving before your appointment as this could make your skin sensitive to laser beam therapy and could reduce results significantly.
