Laser hair removal uses a series of intense, pulsating lights sent directly into your hair follicles to kill hair at its root. Although women more often select this cosmetic treatment, it is still an effective treatment for men like you.
The Size of Your Targeted Area
One reason why your laser hair removal treatment may take longer or shorter than the typical woman's is the size of the area you want treated. A woman may want all of the hair along her legs removed, while you opt to have your facial hair removed so that you no longer have to shave each day (so your treatment may take less time). Conversely, a woman may get the small amount of hair along her chin or upper lip removed while you opt to have all of your chest or back hair removed, so your treatment will take longer.
Skin Tone and Hair Color
Skin tone and hair color are more important factors when it comes to determining differences in treatment. Laser hair removal works best on fair skin and dark hair. Whether you're a man or a woman makes less of a difference when it comes to treatment and long-term maintenance.
Although you may opt for different areas when it comes to hair removal than a woman, there's nothing particular to either gender when it comes to how long treatment will take and how many maintenance sessions you'll need.
