Is Laser Hair Removal Right for Men?

Some men prefer shaving, others opt for waxing. But what's the best method for troublesome hair growth?

During puberty, hair becomes thicker, heavier, and darker under the influence of androgens – the male sex hormones. Men develop hair on their face, stomach, chest, arms and legs, neck, and sometimes on their shoulders and back. It takes some time before the final hair pattern is established in men, as hormone levels don't stabilize until after the age of 30.

Some men don't mind a bit of hair on their back, shoulders, chest, and stomach, but it becomes an issue when it's very dense, dark, or coarse. That's why more and more men are choosing a permanent solution for unwanted hair growth: laser hair removal.

How Does It Work?

Laser has been a medically recognized technique for permanently removing unwanted hair growth for years. The high effectiveness of laser treatment with the LightSheer Duet guarantees quick and optimal results. The laser produces a light beam with a specific wavelength (810 nm) in very high concentration. The laser beam is emitted onto the skin in a fraction of a second. The energy from the laser beam is absorbed by the hair's pigment and converts it into heat. This heat destroys the hair root, preventing new hair from growing.

What Are the Results?

On average, 6 to 8 treatments are needed depending on the area. Hair growth will significantly decrease, and you can expect permanent hair reduction between 80-90%. If any hair does grow back, it will be much less, thinner, and lighter in color. The interval between treatments is between 6 and 10 weeks. You can also stop treatment when the effect is acceptable for you.
