Laser hair removal is becoming more popular for men, offering a solution for unwanted hairs on the body. A growing trend is laser to remove facial hair, especially hair on the neck and cheek area. These men are tired of shaving every morning and dealing with ingrown hairs and razor burn. This also allows them to define a beard style which makes beard maintenance easier. If you would like to eliminate facial hair from certain spots and only allow it to grow in specific areas, then laser hair removal can be an excellent option for you.
Procedure:
Before the laser session, you should define your beard/facial hair to your preferred look. Shave your face 12 – 24 hours before the appointment. Avoid tanning and lengthy sun exposure as this can impact the laser’s effectiveness. Discuss with your provider where you would like facial hair to be reduced (expect a big reduction rather than complete removal with laser). The provider will target the hair follicles for removal during the laser session. Full treatment takes 6 – 8 sessions, with appointments once a month.
Benefits:
Many men would like to avoid the razor burn and irritation that comes with shaving. The skin on your face and neck is very sensitive, and when you pass a razor over it you can develop pseudofolliculitis, commonly known as razor bumps. These are inflamed hair follicles that appear as red bumps on the skin. By using laser to remove the hair on the neck/face, you can skip the daily ritual of shaving with a razor. For men who are looking for beard shaping/reduction, this treatment allows them to define the style of their beard. Full beard removal is also possible if you prefer a hairless appearance. Laser hair removal can make your life easier as you no longer have to shave unwanted facial hair on a regular basis.
