Even men who say they enjoy shaving can remember more than a few times when they didn’t want to pick up a razor. The same can be said for trimming a beard line.

It’s tedious work, and it requires plenty of attention to detail. Many laser hair removal success stories begin with men simply wanting to rid themselves of the shaving maintenance. Instead, they can enjoy the long-lasting smoothness and confidence that comes with laser treatment. 

Also, from an aesthetics standpoint, laser hair removal is great for a man who wants to show off his physique. Don’t hide under chest hair the muscles you’ve worked so hard to get; show off that definition after laser hair removal treatment.

Another noteworthy benefit: laser hair removal can actually enhance performance in certain athletics. Consider swimming and cycling, where milliseconds can be the difference between first and second place. Don’t let body hair prevent you from top honors!

Understanding Laser Hair Removal for Men

Understanding the science of laser hair removal explains why so many men are ditching the razor and starting their laser hair removal journey.

How Laser Hair Removal for Men Works

Instead of addressing only the hair shaft above the skin’s surface, the laser is attracted to the melanin in the follicle. The laser targets and destroys the follicle, disabling the future growth of hair.

With repeated treatments – Milan clients start with treatments approximately every five weeks – clients will see hair fall out and will be left with smooth skin.

Most Popular Treated Areas for Men

Men can enjoy laser hair removal treatment to address just about any body area, but the most common areas among men include the back and shoulders, chest, neckline, facial hair, and beard line.

“A lot of men come in for aesthetic reasons as far as not wanting hair on their back and that sort of thing,” said Milan Laser Clinical Support Nurse Lasha M. “But we also have a lot of men who come in for neckline treatments and full face and neck. Maybe they want to keep their chin strap, but they suffer from ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal is a really great option for them.

“Since we are medically based, we do get a lot of referrals from dermatologists and physicians who are referring people to our service. We see a wide array of people.”

Ideal Candidates

The ideal client for laser hair removal has fair skin and dark hair. However, at Milan, all skin tones can be safely treated. Treatment effectiveness might be compromised if a client has white, gray, or peach fuzz hair. But the laser hair removal professional can discuss during the consultation whether or not a treatment can effectively work on such a client.
