Hair Removal for Men
The grooming industry for men in the UK has grown consistently in recent years. The growth of this success means that the industry is showing expansion, which is unprecedented.
Years ago, men's grooming used to be confined to a regular haircut, daily shaving and aftershave.
Now 'on trend' hairstyles, beard grooming, skin care and anti-aging products have opened up a whole new perspective on the industry. Beard grooming has it's own products ie: oils and balms, whereas skin care has resulted in a daily routine for men, who use similar products to women ie: cleansers and moisturizers.
Hair removal is just as important for men as women. As such, men can take advantage of laser hair removal and electrolysis, according to their requirements and needs in order to target specific areas of the body and face resulting in the same hair reduction or removal of unwanted hair. Or permanent hair removal from electrolysis.
Laser Hair Removal for Men
As discussed previously, laser hair removal works by a laser beam being applied to the desired body area. Heat is produced from the laser beam which is absorbed into the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This in turn damages the individual hair follicles of the specific area being treated, causing hair regrowth to be significantly reduced, and eventually for the follicle to die.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Men:
- Time-Saving
- Cost-Effective
- Tailored to each individuals requirements
- No more ingrown hairs
Popular Areas for Treatment:
- Face
- Back
- Shoulders
- Chest
As previously mentioned, the same in depth consultation process will take place for electrolysis as for laser hair removal with the specialist prior to any treatment, to establish heritage, medical history and any current medications. A patch test against the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale will also be carried out to assess the skins suitability for laser hair removal.
Electrolysis for Men:
Electrolysis is the only permanent for of hair removal, which is approved and endorsed by the BMA. A tiny needle is inserted into the individual hair follicles of the clients chosen body area. A small electric current is then applied which over time, destroys the root of the hair, which will then prevent any new hair from regrowing.
Benefits of Electrolysis for Men:
- Permanent hair removal
- Stops ingrown hair
- All skin types/hair types can be treated successfully
- Skin texture is improved as a result.
Popular Areas for Treatment:
- Back and shoulders

The same consultation process would be necessary for electrolysis as for laser hair removal.
