There are men looking into laser hair removal because their beard grows back by the afternoon even after shaving every morning, or because of the blue stubble remaining after shaving. In particular, men often consider laser hair removal because the skin is irritated from repeatedly shaving areas where thick, dark hair grows, such as the philtrum, chin, and sideburns.

Today, I will summarize everything from the principles of laser hair removal to the areas for men, treatment cycles and sessions, and precautions before and after the procedure.

 

1. Principles and Characteristics of Laser Hair Removal

1) Principle of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a procedure that delivers thermal energy to hair follicles using laser energy that reacts to the melanin pigment contained in the hair. It is said that receiving repeated treatments can help reduce the amount, thickness, and growth rate of hair.

 

2) Features of Laser Hair Removal

Maypure reportedly performs laser hair removal using Clarity II. Clarity II is said to have the following features.

 

- Thanks to the powerful cooling effect, there is almost no pain during the procedure.

- It selectively destroys only the hair follicles, resulting in minimal damage to the surrounding skin.

- With a non-contact laser device, quick hair removal is possible due to the short treatment time.

2. Reasons why men consider laser hair removal

1) When daily shaving is a hassle

Since men's facial hair grows in various areas such as the philtrum, chin, and under the jaw, they often have to shave daily or frequently. If you want to reduce the frequency of shaving, it is said that you can consider laser hair removal.

 

2) If you are bothered by stubble after shaving

It is said that if the area around your philtrum or chin looks bluish due to thick hair remaining under the skin even after shaving, you can consider laser hair removal.

 

3) When the skin is repeatedly irritated by shaving

Repeated contact of razor blades with the skin surface can cause skin irritation, such as stinging or redness. In such cases, laser hair removal for men can be considered.

3. Areas for men's laser hair removal

1) Philtrum

The philtrum is one of the areas frequently considered for men's laser beard removal; since hair can grow back quickly even after shaving, it is said to be manageable through repeated hair removal.

 

2) Chin/Under the chin

The hair on the chin and under the jaw is often thick and dense, so it may not be cleanly removed when shaving. Therefore, it is said that you can consider laser hair removal for a clean shave.

 

3) Cheeks/Sideburns

It is said that if your beard grows widely, extending to your cheeks or sideburns, you can consider full facial hair removal.

 

4) Body parts such as armpits, arms, legs, etc.

It is said that laser hair removal for men can be applied not only to the face but also to various body parts such as the underarms, arms, legs, chest, and abdomen.

4. Number of Laser Hair Removal Treatments and Frequency for Men

One of the most frequently asked questions when researching laser hair removal is the number of sessions and the frequency. The recommended number of sessions and frequency are as follows.

 

- Recommended number of laser hair removal sessions: At least 10-15 sessions or more

- Laser hair removal treatment cycle: 4-8 weeks

5. Precautions Before and After Laser Hair Removal for Men

1) Shaving before the procedure

For those with thick, fast-growing hair like men, it is recommended to shave on the same day before the procedure.

 

2) Avoid excessively irritating the skin

It is said that you should be careful not to rub the treated area vigorously, as the skin may temporarily become red or sting due to the laser heat energy immediately after the procedure.

 

3) Avoid hot environments

It is recommended to avoid activities that excessively raise skin temperature immediately after the procedure, such as hot saunas, steam rooms, or long hot baths.

 

4) Moisturizing care

It is said that using a gentle moisturizer is helpful for skin care, as the skin may feel dry or sensitive after the procedure.

5) Protect from UV rays

If you have undergone laser hair removal, it is recommended to use sunscreen when going outdoors and avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.

 

👉 Check information on sun care products used in dermatology clinics

6. Q&A

1) Is laser beard removal effective after just one session?

Although you may notice changes in hair growth after a single treatment, repeated treatments are generally necessary because not all hairs are at the same growth stage simultaneously.

 

2) Can I shave immediately after laser hair removal for a male beard?

If your skin is red or stinging immediately after the procedure, it is recommended to shave after your skin has calmed down, as the razor blade may cause additional irritation.

 

3) How much does laser hair removal for men cost?

The prices for the Maypure men's laser hair removal event are as follows.

- Underarms/Philtrum/Between Eyebrows: 15,000 won (1 session) / 1,900 won (1 session, based on Philtrum & Between Eyebrows, first-visit special price)

- Full lower face: 50,000 won (1 session, event price) / 29,000 won (1 session, first-visit event price)
