Not too long ago laser hair removal was almost exclusively reserved for women and in most cases the women that had laser hair removal performed were women with a significant amount of money because the procedure wasn’t cheap. Things are changing in the world of laser hair removal and more and more men are undergoing the male laser hair removal. Not only that, the prices for laser hair removal have come down significantly from where they used to be. This is one of the hair removal methods that is gaining favor with a lot of people these days.


For quite some time there was a little bit of a stigma associated with men going in for laser hair removal. Many men are concerned about their macho persona and have shied away from laser hair removal thinking that it just wasn’t for them. Many of these men have changed their way of thinking about male laser hair removal. Many men are even choosing Brazilian laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal for men is becoming more and more popular for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is that men can save so much time if they don’t have to shave every day. Let’s take a minute and examine the simple act of shaving. Let’s assume that it only takes a man 15 minutes to shave his face each day. Let’s also assume that he shaves every day of his adult life.  That means that in one year’s time he will have spent over 91 hours standing in front of the mirror and shaving. That’s over to whole work weeks! Let’s expand on this scenario for a minute. Now let’s assume that a man starts shaving at the age of 15 and lives to the age of 75. That would mean that he would be shaving every day of his adult life for 60 years. Would you believe that if you do the math that it works out to 228 days of a man’s life is spent standing in front of a mirror and shaving. That’s ridiculous if you think about it. In reality, this number is probably even higher because most men take longer than 15 minutes to shave.

A man who undergoes laser hair removal for men, can save a significant amount of time by not needing to be bothered with daily shaving. Having a hairy chest and a hairy back isn’t in vogue these days and many men either shave their chest and back or have their chest hair and back hair waxed. Laser back hair removal for men is becoming more and more popular. It is esspecially popular amongst single men. The reason for this is that married man or men in a relationship can often asked their significant other to help shave their back. It’s virtually impossible for a man to shave his own back so men who are concerned about unsightly back hair are left with no other alternative than to have it it removed by either waxing or laser hair removal. Most men  choose laser hair removal because it is much less painful than waxing and the results last much longer.

Some other types of men who might be interested in male hair removal are the athletic type. I’m not talking about professional athletes here although several professional athletes are interested in male laser hair removal such as bodybuilders and competitive swimmers. These athletes often shave all of their body for performance reasons. These athletes can save a tremendous amount of time by having laser hair removal for men treatments.

Other athletic men are also interested in male hair removal. Men who spend a lot of time in the gym are often very conscious of their appearance and like I said before, having excess chest and back hair is definitely not in fashion with this crowd. Men who spend a lot of time on the beach or without their shirts on, are especially interested in male hair removal.

Popular Areas For Male Laser Hair Removal

Another part of the body that is a good candidate for male laser hair removal is the nape of the neck. On a lot of men, this area grows hair quite rapidly. This can become quite unsightly for men who are concerned about their appearance. When they go in for a haircut, the barber will shave this area but the hair in this area will usually grow to be quite bushy before its time for another hair cut.

Another area that men commonly have laser hair removal performed on is the area between their eyebrows. Some unfortunate men have a not so fashionable “unibrow”. Some men with unibrows choose to shave this area and some men pluck each individual hair out with tweezers but the neither of these options are long lasting options. Laser hair removal may be the best solution for men who have embarrassing unibrows.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

You’re probably wondering if it hurts to have laser hair removal done. Everyone is a little bit different in their ability to tolerate pain and some men have a high tolerance to pain and some men have a low tolerance to pain. Laser hair removal is most commonly compared to the sensation of having a rubber band snapped against your skin. I don’t personally think this would be too unbearable but other people may find this to be too much pain for them to tolerate. In some cases a topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin to lessen the discomfort that the client feels during the procedure.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

No. It’s important to understand that male laser hair removal is not permanent hair removal.  If laser hair removal for men sounds appealing to you, you should understand what the process entails. You will need to go in for several treatments sessions in order to achieve satisfactory results. With each treatment session the hair grows back slower and slower until the hair hardly grows at all. What laser hair removal actually does is slow the growth of the hair so much that it almost doesn’t grow at all. It’s not possible to know exactly how many treatment sessions you will need. Everyone’s body responds differently to the treatments and some people will need more treatments than others to achieve satisfactory results.

How Much Does Male Laser Hair Removal Cost?

You can expect to pay on average about $350 per treatment session so this isn’t exactly the cheapest hair removal option on the market but it is one of the best. If you need to have five treatment sessions to achieve satisfactory results, it’s safe to say that you might end up paying about $1750. Prices for laser hair removal will vary depending upon where you live and exactly why how much hair you are having removed during a treatment session. If you are a man who wants a little bit of hair removed from his between his eyebrows, you’ll pay much less than a man with a very hairy back that wants laser back hair remova
