Men's hair removal
If you’re after a quick solution to full body hair removal for men, look no further.
Laser hair removal is the industry standard technology for permanently removing hair. It releases a wavelength of light into the hair follicle, converts to heat, then eventually destroys the follicle bulb. This makes laser the ideal permanent hair removal solution for men who want to remove hair on their face and body—without the hassle of ingrown hair and shaving rashes.
Our Laser Hair Removal Device is the first (and only) laser device on the market designed for home use that permanently disables the hair follicle. Extensive studies have shown you can reduce hair growth by up to 80 percent in just four weeks. And there’s no risk of upsetting your schedule: it only takes 15 minutes.
How does IPL work for men?Similar to laser, IPL (intense pulsed light) works by sending light energy into the skin which converts into heat. This energy then gets absorbed by the melanin within the hair follicle, stunting hair growth straight from the root.
Hair grows in different cycles, so keep up with regular sessions for 12 weeks to see even results. IPL (and laser) are best done during the hair growth (anagen) phase, rather than the transitional (catagen) or resting (telogen) phase.
What are the benefits of IPL and laser hair removal for men?
There are so many benefits to using at home laser and IPL devices—they’re faster, permanent and much more convenient than male waxing or shaving. Most IPL and laser devices can complete a full body hair removal treatment in just 15 minutes, which shaves time off your usual hair removal routine. And after 12 weeks, you can go anywhere from two to eight weeks without needing a top-up.
Ditch the hair removal creams and male waxing strips, laser and IPL devices can effectively help with full body hair removal and razor burn. You’ll no longer have to deal with red bumps and ingrown hairs from using your razor either. And think of the time you could save? Compared to in-clinic laser hair removal appointments, home use laser and IPL devices are a practical and time-efficient alternative.
