You may have heard of the mommy makeover and the benefits it can give to new moms and anyone looking to finely contour their bodies. Men have traditionally felt left out of the aesthetic world as they buy into the popular myth that only women should care about their appearance and well-being. Our Ideal Image Medical Professionals know that this is largely untrue. In fact, recent years have seen a huge rise in the number of men getting cosmetic treatments. More men are finding ways to access a number of non-surgical methods for achieving their ideal look.
The mommy makeover may be one thing, but now Ideal Image has a Laser Hair Removal treatment designed with more masculine clients in mind: the daddy do-over. Anyone dealing with male body hair who wants to learn more about the opportunities presented by Laser Hair Removal for men has come to the right place. If you are a man who is considering Laser Hair Removal, read on to learn about the many benefits and long-lasting effects of this treatment.
What Is Laser Hair Removal For Men?
Using FDA-cleared laser technology, Medical Professionals at Ideal Image can reduce specific areas of unwanted hair by targeting them with a hair removal laser. By destroying the follicles directly at their root, it becomes more and more difficult for hair to continue growing back. Ultimately, you will be able to permanently reduce hair growth in targeted areas.
Laser Hair Removal for men does not require any kind of incision or surgery, as it is a completely non-invasive treatment. While many clients are satisfied with their results in just one area, many men opt for several areas to target hair follicles in different spots on the body. This guarantees permanent reduction in targeted areas.
Can Guys Get Laser Hair Removal Anywhere On The Body?
One of the many perks that men gain from Laser Hair Removal is that they can treat almost any part of the body that has hair on it. Not only that, clients can receive multiple Laser Hair Removal treatments on multiple body parts during one treatment session. You no longer have to be frustrated when trying to shave the parts of your back you can’t reach.
Some of the most popular areas of hair removal for men include:
One of the first discussions you will have with your Aesthetic Consultant will be about the particular parts of the body that you are looking to treat. No matter if you want to invest in men’s Laser Hair Removal for just one body part or if you need help achieving silky smooth skin all over the body, you can reach out to us for a detailed treatment plan.
Why Should Guys Get Laser Hair Removal?
Any guy interested in fitness or sports is probably up to speed on their latest hygiene needs. It is not uncommon for bodybuilders and other men in the exercise world to try and shave all of their body hair. Excessive body hair can grow as a result of the hormone testosterone, which can be uncomfortable and even unsanitary for men who are always on the move.
This can lead to health issues and annoying occurrences such as ingrown hair, which will end up causing a lot more pain than it is worth. While an ingrown hair might seem like a tiny thing, it can have a big impact on your body. Namely, ingrown hairs can cause rashes and pimples that might lead to an infection if left untreated for too long. That is why it is a good idea to invest in Laser Hair Removal for men’s arms, legs, back, buttocks, and any other area that is prone to active hair growth.
Benefits Of Men’s Laser Hair Removal Treatments
Too much hair can make a man feel too bogged down as it completely blocks access to parts of the skin. If you are trying to get hair-free in certain areas and you want a fast and easy solution, you can achieve this goal with a series of Laser Hair Removal treatments designed just for you.
Men continue to seek personalized Laser Hair Removal treatments at Ideal Image because:
- It is a safe and effective choice. Shaving and waxing might be suitable options for removing unwanted hair, but this is a process you will have to repeat very often for the rest of your life. Otherwise, that stubble will keep growing back. Fortunately, you have another option for getting rid of hair and keeping it away. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective option for getting the job done. Our state-of-the-art devices use concentrated light to target the hair follicles, weakening them. Over time, they will be destroyed, rendering them unable to produce any new hairs.
- There is minimal pain. Laser Hair Removal treatments are perhaps some of the most forgiving for those with sensitivity to pain, as this treatment is completely non-invasive. While everybody reacts differently to the heat of the laser light, most describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin. At most, you may feel a burning sensation during treatment that will fade very quickly. Barret Wertz of Men’s Fitness explained that it is not that bad, describing the pain as “a slightly warm shock. It was more of a nuisance than actual pain.”
-
- There is no downtime. Laser hair removal (LHR) is a non-invasive procedure that usually requires little to no downtime. This means that you can resume your normal activities shortly after treatment. Additionally, our treatment times are lightning-fast, meaning you can be in and out in as little as 30 minutes.
- Laser Hair Removal changes the way your hair grows. When done right, this treatment alters the way hair grows in general, according to what Dr. Tina West told Men’s Fitness Magazine: “The big advantage of laser hair reduction compared to other methods of hair removal is that the laser is the only technology that changes the way hair grows back, causing it to grow back finer and more slowly.” With each treatment session, the hair will be reduced further and further.
- Your partner will love the results. Whether or not you agree that shoulder and back hair is not attractive, you can remove it all the same with laser hair removal. The idea of getting Laser Hair Removal might initially be a gift to yourself, but your significant other may also be in love with the results.
Ladies are not the only ones looking to get rid of that unwanted hair – men are, too! According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 125,000 men received Laser Hair Removal treatment in a single year alone. And that popularity is only expected to increase. After all, aren’t you sick of keeping your shirt on at the beach?

Laser Hair Removal For Men: Before, During, And After Your Treatment
Before signing off on any kind of treatment plan, it is important to know exactly what to expect at all stages of your journey. Get familiar with our process so you can create a clear plan of care with your Aesthetic Consultant when you first meet:
Before Laser Hair Removal
The very first step in this transformative process is to meet with an Aesthetic Consultant at your local Ideal Image. You can do so either virtually or in the office, where you will meet for a short and free session to discuss your needs. If you decide to move forward with a recommended Laser Hair Removal treatment for men, you can then discuss the details of the treatment. You will learn what the treatment entails, how long the in-office process takes, and what to expect after your session is complete.
Your assigned team of Medical Professionals, along with your Aesthetic Consultant, will recommend that you stay out of the sun before and during treatment. Similarly, you will want to avoid tweezing or waxing the treatment area before and for the duration of treatment. Finally, to avoid skin irritation, discontinue any skincare products containing retinol or glycolic acid two weeks before your session.
During Laser Hair Removal
During your Laser Hair Removal session, you will be seated in a comfortable and welcoming environment that has been prepared for you. The entire treatment process can take as little as 5 minutes, and most clients are in and out of the office within 30 minutes. Note that the overall visit time may vary. The lasers will specifically target the follicles you are looking to destroy. The process may feel like a slight burn or a pinch on the skin, but no additional pain is expected after the treatment is complete.
After Laser Hair Removal: At-Home Recovery Tips
Your Medical Professional will recommend that you stay out of the sun and invest in sun protection of at least SPF 30 for several days following your treatment. Elta MD is the gold standard of medical grade sunscreen. Ask your Medical Professional at Ideal Image for more information.
There are no additional recovery steps required, making it a breeze to get on with your daily life without missing a hitch. You can even continue shaving in between your men’s Laser Hair Removal sessions, which is something your team of Medical Professionals may recommend to you moving forward.
When Do Guys Get Laser Hair Removal Results That They Can See?
Visible results will show up on a different timeline for each client. On average, our clients notice a reduction in hair growth after the first few treatments. Significant results are typically observed after a series of sessions spaced 6-10 weeks apart. Hair grows in different cycles, so multiple sessions are required to target all hair follicles in the active growth phase. Over time, these sessions reduce the overall density and coarseness of hair in the treated area.
