Popular treatment areas for men

*Laser hair removal can reduce the hair that contributes to ingrowns; results vary.

How many sessions will I need?

Hair grows in cycles (anagen, catagen, telogen). Laser targets follicles best during the anagen (active growth) phase, so a series of 6–8 sessions spaced every 4–8 weeks is typical. Face/neck areas sometimes need a few additional touch-ups. Gray, white, and very blond hairs respond poorly because they lack melanin.

What to expect

• Before: Shave the area 24 hours prior. Avoid tanning/self-tanner for 2 weeks. Pause retinoids/acid exfoliants on the area for 3–5 days.
• During: You’ll feel quick snaps or warmth. Sessions for backs/chests are often completed in minutes due to larger spot sizes and rapid, even passes.
• After: Mild redness/follicular bumps can occur for a few hours. Use cool compresses and SPF. Avoid hot tubs, heavy workouts, or exfoliation for 24–48 hours.

Is Clarity II™ different?

Yes. Clarity II pairs 755/1064 nm wavelengths with IntelliTrak™ for uniform pass-to-pass coverage and Temperature Sensing for real-time feedback—helping providers work quickly and confidently while keeping treatments comfortable. It’s an FDA-cleared platform designed for hair removal and more. Source: manufacturer brochure.

FAQ

Is it safe for darker skin?

Yes—our 1064 nm Nd:YAG settings are well-suited for deeper skin tones when used by trained providers. We individualize fluence, pulse duration, and cooling for safety and efficacy.

Does it hurt?

Most patients describe quick snaps or warmth. Advanced cooling plus temperature feedback help keep treatments tolerable. Topical numbing can be discussed for sensitive areas.

Will the hair be gone forever?

Laser achieves long-term reduction. Some hair may be resistant or regrow finer/light over time due to hormones and genetics; maintenance sessions help keep results.

Can you treat gray or blond hair?

Laser energy targets pigment (melanin). Gray, white, and very blond hairs have little pigment and typically don’t respond.

How long is a session?

Small areas can take minutes; large areas like the back and chest are faster than older tech due to large spot sizes and rapid, consistent passes.

When will I see results?

You’ll shed treated hairs over 1–3 weeks after each session. Best results appear gradually across the series.
