Laser hair removal isn’t just for women — it’s a popular choice for plenty of men, too, and for good reason: Laser treatments provide consistently smooth, sexy skin without the repeated hassles of shaving or waxing — despite men’s thicker, denser hair.
Michele Meinhart, FNP, is a top provider of laser hair removal treatments for both men and women at Starkey Medical Esthetics, using the most advanced technology for optimal results and smoother, sexier, more touchable skin. Here, learn the treatment areas that are most popular among our male patients.
The chest and belly areas are popular treatment areas for many men, in part because these areas are so visible. Eliminating hair in these areas helps your skin look smoother and more “touchable,” and if you work out, it can highlight muscle definition, too.
Plus, it helps you feel more confident when you decide to go shirtless. Treatments typically target the entire chest, including the area around the nipples, as well as the stomach area down to the waistband.
Your partner may not mind a little chest hair — but for most, back and shoulder hair is an absolute no-no.
Hair in these areas is often quite dense or bushy, sometimes showing through clothing, and it’s pretty much impossible to shave on your own, especially on your back. Laser hair removal provides smooth skin without the hassle and irritation associated with regular shaving and waxing.
Laser hair removal can reduce or eliminate the need for daily shaving, especially in sensitive or hard-to-shave areas, such as the upper lip, neck, chin, dimples, and clefts.
It’s also ideal for cleaning up bushy eyebrows and providing a clean line around your beard area. It helps prevent or eliminate ingrown hairs, razor burn, and redness or bumps that often crop up in extra-sensitive skin.
Many men opt for laser hair removal on their arms and legs to achieve a more groomed, smoother look, especially when wearing swimsuits and athletic wear.
For athletes or anyone who works out, laser hair removal reduces friction that can irritate repetitive movements involved in activities like running or weightlifting. And of course, laser hair removal in the underarm area can help prevent bacterial buildup that leads to unpleasant odors.
Many men opt for laser hair removal in these areas, improving their confidence in intimate situations and looking their best when wearing swimsuits or underwear.
Like the popular “Brazilian” hair removal treatments for women, male hair removal in these areas is sometimes referred to as a “manzilian.” In these sensitive areas, many men prefer laser hair removal to a wax procedure that causes considerable pulling.
Laser hair removal can definitely boost your confidence, but that’s just one of its benefits. With regular treatment, you can reduce the risk of painful ingrown hairs, limit odors associated with sweating, and potentially reduce acne breakouts by targeting hair follicles where acne-causing bacteria congregate. And of course, it also eliminates shaving in areas that are hard to reach or too delicate for regular manscaping.
