Why Do Men Opt For Laser Hair Removal?
Increasingly, men are searching for effective and longer-lasting hair removal solutions. This could be for many reasons but some of the main ones include:
1. Self-consciousness
Some men are embarrassed by excessive body hair, especially on the back and/or shoulders and seek a permanent reduction.
2. Career
Hair removal may be necessary due to certain professional careers including modeling and acting. Sportsmen including swimmers, cyclists and track & field athletes also seek permanent hair removal solutions.
3. Preventing irritation or inflammation
Men who dislike shaving can also benefit from laser hair removal of their beard area (lower face and chin). In addition to eliminating the need to shave every day, laser hair removal for men will prevent irritation and development of folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles).
How Does Laser Hair Removal for Men Work?
Men tend to have thicker and deeper hair follicles than female patients and the specialists at our skin clinic are experienced in providing laser hair removal solutions tailored specifically for men.
We offer the advanced, gold-standard GentleLase hair removal system that combines the most powerful Alexandrite laser with an equally powerful dynamic cooling device to offer an effective treatment that is virtually pain-free.
How GentleLase laser hair removal for men works
The GentleLase laser pulse is administered via a handheld device and targets the pigment in the hair follicle. This powerful yet gentle pulse of light damages growing hair but not the surrounding tissue, ensuring the hair doesn’t grow again.
Benefits of this laser hair removal system for men

- Customizable to suit all your specific hair-removal requirements
- Permanence. Results are dramatic and long-lasting
- Precision. Lasers can selectively target the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
Number of Treatments Required
While all patients will require a series of treatments, the number of sessions needed will vary depending on factors such as hair color and thickness.
Most patients see vast improvements within 5-6 laser hair removal treatments.
When will I see the results?
You will notice the incredible results of this laser hair removal system almost immediately. While there may be some side effects such as redness or itching, these will resolve in 1-2 hours.
You can expect to be virtually hair-free between appointments (approximately 6 weeks)
Are You a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
The vast majority of patients are good candidates for laser hair removal. However, there are some factors that may make this cosmetic treatment less effective including if the client has:
- Grey/white, red or blond hair
- ‘Peach fuzz’ - hair growth that is too light
- Tanned skin (including natural and spray-on tans)
- A tendency towards keloid scarring
- Tattoos or permanent make-up in the treatment area
At our Kelowna skin clinic, our specialists are able to evaluate your medical history, skin type and other concerns to help determine whether you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal.
