Shaving and plucking can be painful and time consuming processes that don’t always produce results. Laser hair removal for men has become increasingly popular and can permanently reduce unwanted facial hair.
Laser hair removal can help you achieve the polished look you desire without suffering from razor burn or the five o’clock shadow that shaving often leaves behind.
How Does It Work?
Be it beard or moustache, laser hair removal is one of the most efficient ways to address unwanted facial hair. By targeting dark pigment in your hair and disabling it on contact, laser treatment eliminates unwanted hair without shaving, waxing or plucking – leaving smooth facial skin behind without needing shaving, waxing or plucking! Even better than that is that each session only lasts minutes so that you can schedule it during lunch break time with minimal downtime afterward!
Though women tend to use laser hair removal services more than men, men are quickly realizing its convenience as well. Men use it for eliminating razor burn and the time commitment involved with daily shaving; additionally it gives a more defined moustache or beard and can help relieve symptoms associated with folliculitis, an inflammation caused by repeated hair shaving that can result in pain and scarring.
Prior to your treatment session, it is essential that you refrain from plucking or waxing the area you want treated as this can alter how your skin responds to laser. Furthermore, at least 24 hours before your scheduled session you must shave those areas you wish to have treated.
Your laser technician will evaluate your facial hair and skin type, discuss various treatment options available to you and create an individualized plan to address them. They may then offer to do a test patch to make sure that everything goes as expected – it is normal to experience some redness and swelling post-patch, however this should resolve itself within an hour or two.
Facial Laser Hair Removal or Beard Laser Hair Removal uses laser technology that has been specifically programmed to safely eliminate unwanted hair while sparing surrounding skin and nerves from damage. You may experience a temporary rubber band snapping sensation; however, this is completely normal and should dissipate shortly after your session is completed.
Many individuals require four to six treatments spaced approximately one month apart in order to achieve desired results. At each subsequent appointment, your laser technician will adjust its setting according to your skin tone and hair color to ensure optimal outcomes are obtained.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
As a general guideline, 4-6 laser hair removal treatments should provide lasting and significant results, depending on your skin and hair type. When receiving laser treatment, light beams are absorbed by melanin pigment in hair follicles to deactivate them resulting in decreased or no hair growth.
If you have been shaving regularly, the prospect of finally becoming hair-free for good can be very exhilarating. Not only will you save time in the mornings and avoid razor burn or that bothersome five o’clock shadow; perhaps it would even reduce how many haircuts are necessary each year!
Losing unwanted facial and body hair may be easier than you think. A recent study discovered that over 80% of men saw permanent hair reduction after just six sessions – far surpassing electrolysis or waxing’s 15%-20% success rates!
Laser hair removal is an efficient and relatively painless procedure that is performed quickly on any part of the body, from faces and necks to armpits and more. Most patients describe it as feeling similar to a hot pinch followed by a cooling sensation – perfect for treatment on any area from facial features to armpits! The treatment can also be performed on armpits for added results!
Prior to your first laser hair removal session, it is recommended that you do not pluck or wax any unwanted hair for six weeks beforehand as this allows the laser to absorb it more easily. Furthermore, any over-the-counter hair-removal products could impede on its effectiveness.
Some individuals opt for laser hair removal because they’ve become tired of shaving or the irritation caused by ingrown hairs, while others want to finally eliminate their 5-o’clock shadow and trim their beards. Either way, laser hair removal can be an invaluable asset towards reaching ideal skin.
Laser hair removal offers the promise of permanent freedom from shaving, waxing and other temporary hair removal methods such as threading. Laser treatments may even reduce density in certain areas to help get rid of that pesky five o’clock shadow!
How Long Will the Results Last?
Many men want to reduce or do away with shaving altogether, which can often be an inconvenient and time-consuming chore. They want to prevent razor burn, post-wax breakouts and ingrown hairs which cause redness and irritation but still want the benefits of grooming habits such as shaving. Enter laser hair removal: this procedure effectively removes unwanted hair without harming the skin and is becoming increasingly popular among those who don’t want the hassles associated with daily shaving, such as risking razor burn or risking five o’clock shadow every morning!
This procedure works by targeting dark pigmentation of hair follicles with an intense beam of light that destroys it, leading to permanent hair reduction that eliminates the need for shaving altogether. Furthermore, ingrown hairs will no longer require constant maintenance, saving both pain and inconvenience from having to deal with them daily.
Most people can complete a full facial laser hair removal session in under 30 minutes; however, every experience varies – especially since some individuals may have more hair than others and thus taking longer. Furthermore, to maximize success at each appointment it’s vital that attendees arrive with clean and makeup-free skin as sun exposure doesn’t work well with laser technology; alternatively sunless tanners and chemical peels should be avoided prior to arriving for their appointment.
Some men turn to laser beard sculpting in order to achieve the style they want. Some find growing beards difficult in certain spots; this method removes the need to constantly shave those areas, making the entire process simpler and quicker.
Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately following a treatment, although exercise and direct sunlight must be avoided for the best possible outcomes. Redness and swelling, similar to mild sunburn symptoms, may persist for several days post-treatment but will usually dissipate within a few. Stay in contact with your laser technician regarding how your skin has responded and share any updates on how things are progressing post-treatment.
What Are the Side Effects?
Laser hair removal differs from shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams in that it targets dark pigment at the root of facial hair and destroys it on contact, leading to reduced or completely eliminated re-growth of facial hair in treated areas. Results will typically become visible within just a few sessions and it’s more permanent and safer for your skin than other methods of hair removal.
Laser light used during this procedure does not absorb into lighter colored areas of your skin and hair, meaning it cannot harm these delicate tissues. However, some temporary side effects may still occur depending on your complexion and type of laser instrument used during treatment – including redness, swelling and itching – although these symptoms should fade quickly over time. Laser treatment has the rare possibility of discoloration or scabbing within treated areas; these rare events are best avoided by following instructions given by laser professionals.
Men are increasingly turning to laser hair removal services as an alternative to daily razor shaves and to help maintain more defined looks. Some prefer goatees over full beards, so they use laser beard sculpting services to create this style – this saves them time shave-ing each morning before work! This also enables them to get to work quicker!
Laser facial and beard hair removal treatments are quick and painless; each session usually lasts only minutes, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule. Plus, no downtime means that treatment can even be completed on lunch breaks with no delay in returning back to work afterwards!
