Laser Body Hair Removal: For Men Only
It used to be that hair removal was strictly a female thing. Not so anymore. Most men don’t necessarily want it all removed, but increasingly they do want it thinned out on their eyebrows, the area around their ears or the back of the neck. Others, do want all hair to be removed especially in the back, abdomen, shoulders, chest and genital area.
Laser Hair Removal Treatments
Wellness Plus offer exclusive rooms and office hours for men only. Wellness Plus uses only lasers to remove unwanted body and facial hair and it does so in a safe and effective manner. Our laser hair removal is noninvasive and done in the clinic. It works fast, but it takes time. Your skin should shed all the targeted hairs in six to eight weeks. For laser hair removal to work a hair must be growing. You’ll usually see results after four to six treatments.
- What It Does: Using laser light energy to penetrate the hair shaft, it actually kills the hair root. This doesn’t kill the follicle (the place where hair growth starts). So technically, another hair can grow in its place, but it’s difficult. That means results of laser hair removal last a fairly long time.
- How Long It Takes: Roughly 30 minutes per treatment, up to eight treatments needed.
- Best For Removing or reducing hair on back, chest, stomach, shoulders, and genital area.
Works best on light skin with dark hair; not suitable for blond or white hair.
Black skin responds well to only one type of laser, the Nd: YAG - Lasting Result: After all laser hair removal treatments are completed, results could be almost permanent, with touch-up treatments annually or biannually to maintain results.
Wellness Plus Comments: Most men utilize laser hair removal for the back, upper arms, and chest and most want it thinned out, not removed — something which lasers can easily accomplish. In fact, other than electrolysis, laser hair removal is the only hair removal treatment that allows for thinning, rather than complete removal. While the average man needs five to seven sessions, as men age, more hair grows, especially on their backs. As such, touch-up laser hair removal treatments are usually needed on average once a year.
