Men’s hair tends to be denser, coarser, and more hormonally influenced, which is why choosing the right technology is essential. At Skin Renewal, we use the latest, medical-grade devices that safely and effectively reduce unwanted hair for all skin types and most hair colours (excluding red, grey, or white).
How Laser Hair Reduction Works for Men
Laser energy targets the pigment in the hair follicle, damaging its regrowth potential. Only hairs in the anagen (growth) phase can be treated effectively, which is why multiple sessions are essential.
- Most men need 6–8 sessions for body areas.
- Due to hormonal influence, facial areas often require 10–12 sessions.
- Maintenance may be needed annually, especially if dealing with finer regrowth.
Laser Hair Reduction Also Helps Reduce:
- Ingrown hairs
- Razor bumps
- Shaving rash
- Folliculitis
- Shadowing in the beard or neck area
Facial & Beard Line Laser: A Game-Changer for Men
Male facial hair is thicker and more hormonally reactive, making it one of the most commonly treated areas. A laser can:
- Clean up the beard line.
- Prevent and treat painful ingrown hairs.
- Reduce daily shaving frequency.
- Smooth the neck and jawline.
- Minimise “five o’clock shadow”.

Pre-Treatment Preparation for Men
For best results, we recommend:
- Avoiding sun exposure and tanning (natural or artificial) before treatment.
- Avoid any inflammation or sensitivity from shaving, friction, or skincare products.
- Shave 24 hours before your appointment for optimal laser penetration.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams for several weeks prior to hair being present in the follicle.
Because men often have thicker, hormonally sensitive hair, these preparation steps significantly improve treatment accuracy and outcomes.
