Men and Laser Hair Removal

While women still constitute the majority of people interested in laser hair removal, more and more men are taking the step toward permanently removing unwanted hair. The most common areas of unwanted hair for men are the back, neck and beard areas.

Men seek laser hair removal because it may be the best option for the right candidates (those with dark hair and untanned skin). Waxing can be costly and painful, while shaving can be difficult and time-consuming, especially for areas like the back.

Even though laser hair removal requires a larger initial investment than waxing, over time it can be the most cost-efficient option.  For a man who waxes monthly, the cost of laser hair removal on the back can be recouped in about two years.

Most men and women find the laser hair removal process much more comfortable than waxing.  Laser hair removal on the back takes approximately six treatments that last about one hour per session.
