Dr. Yomna Ali, Laser Specialist, explains that laser hair removal is not only for women. Men can benefit from beard shaping, back and chest treatments, and permanent solutions for ingrown hairs.

Why Men Choose Laser Hair Removal

Men have unique reasons for seeking laser treatments. Unlike women who often want complete hair removal, many men prefer hair reduction or precise grooming. Here are the most common reasons:

Athletic Performance

Swimmers, cyclists, and bodybuilders prefer smooth skin for aerodynamics and muscle definition visibility.

Hygiene & Comfort

Less body hair means less sweating, reduced body odor, and easier personal hygiene maintenance.

Professional Appearance

Clean neck lines, maintained beard edges, and groomed appearance for professional settings.

Ingrown Hair Relief

Permanent solution for painful razor bumps and ingrown hairs, especially common in men with curly hair.

Popular Treatment Areas for Men

Men's hair is typically thicker and more deeply rooted than women's hair, which means treatments are tailored specifically for male physiology. Our DEKA laser technology is specifically designed to handle coarse male hair effectively.

Most Requested Areas by Men

Face & Neck

  • Beard line definition
  • Neck cleanup
  • Cheek line shaping
  • Unibrow removal

Body

  • Full back & shoulders
  • Chest (full or reduction)
  • Arms & hands
  • Full body packages

Beard Shaping & Precision Grooming

One of the most popular treatments for men is laser beard shaping. This doesn't mean removing your entire beard—it means creating permanent, clean lines that eliminate daily maintenance.

What Laser Beard Shaping Can Do

  • Define cheek lines: Create a permanent, clean boundary for your beard
  • Clean neck area: Eliminate the need for constant neck shaving
  • Reduce density: Thin out overly thick beard areas
  • Eliminate patchy areas: Remove sparse spots for a cleaner look

Permanent Solution for Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs are a significant problem for many men, particularly those with curly or coarse hair. These painful bumps occur when shaved hair grows back into the skin, causing inflammation, infection, and scarring.

Laser hair removal is the only permanent solution for ingrown hairs. By destroying the hair follicle, the hair cannot grow back—and therefore cannot become ingrown. Common problem areas include:

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal suitable for men?

Laser hair removal is increasingly popular among men. Common treatment areas include back, chest, shoulders, beard shaping, neck, and treatment for ingrown hairs. At Perla Clinic, we have dedicated male specialists for maximum comfort.

Can laser shape my beard?

Yes, laser is excellent for precise beard shaping and cleaning up the neck and cheek lines. It's also effective for reducing beard density if your facial hair is too thick, or eliminating ingrown hairs caused by shaving.

How many sessions do men need?

Men typically need 6-10 sessions depending on the treatment area and hair density. Male hair tends to be thicker and more deeply rooted, which may require additional sessions compared to women. Back and chest usually need 8-10 sessions. Learn more about DEKA laser technology.

Is it painful?

With DEKA's Moveo technology, treatments are virtually painless. Most men describe it as a warm sensation. Areas with thicker hair may feel slightly more intense initially, but this decreases with each session as hair becomes finer.

Will laser completely remove my body hair?

Laser provides permanent hair reduction of 80-95%. You can choose complete removal or just reduction in density. Many men prefer to keep some hair while reducing the overall amount or eliminating problem areas like the back and shoulders.
