Laser Hair Removal for Men

Introduction to Laser Hair Removal for Men

Beauty standards can change so fiercely with time. While male chest hair was once considered an attractive feature, it is no longer a desirable aspect of modern beauty standards for men. Hairless bodies have become the norm in the beauty world. For men with naturally hairy chests or backs, achieving that hairless look can be a hardship at best. Shaving is a problematic solution, as it can lead to more dense hair growth in the future and discomfort as the hair grows back. Waxing is frankly too painful and frequently needed. The solution is a process known as laser hair removal, a cosmetic procedure performed by surgeons at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas. Call us at 201.449.1000 or use our online form to schedule an appointment right now.

What is Laser Hair Removal for Men?

East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery offers a great option for men looking for laser hair removal in the New Jersey and New York areas. By combining two different wavelengths of amplified light, the laser can target the melanin in your hair, right down to the follicle. The lasers accomplish this by using high energy, which hair follicles are known to dislike and are susceptible to. After three or four sessions, as much as 80% of your hair should be permanently eliminated.

Multiple sessions are required because not all hair grows at the same time. Most hair growth follows several different cycles, meaning that the hair on your arms or legs, for example, will be in different stages at different times. To effectively eliminate as much hair as possible, each phase of hair must be individually targeted. The number of sessions will also be determined by the density of hair slated for removal as well as the color of that hair.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Laser Hair Removal for Men?

The plastic surgeons at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery generally look for the following characteristics in male patients who would like to undergo Laser Hair Removal in the New Jersey and New York areas: 

  • You have a significant amount of hair that you find unpleasant
  • You have realistic expectations of what Laser Hair Removal can accomplish
  • You are not currently taking hormones that encourage hair growth
  • You are generally healthy enough for the procedure

The plastic surgeons at ECA Plastic Surgery will determine the best course of action for you based on your desired results during your confidential consultation. To achieve and ensure the best results, please be prepared to discuss various aspects of your medical history, including family history, treatment history, tobacco use, and other relevant factors.

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting laser hair removal in the New Jersey and New York area is to schedule an in-person visit with one of our providers at ECAPS. During the consultation, your provider will ask you about your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations for the procedure. Please be upfront about any medical information, as certain antibiotics or photosensitizing medications may interact with laser treatment.

They will then ask you to identify your target areas, examine them, and assess the condition of your skin, recommending the techniques they will use to meet your goals. They will also outline the treatment process and its associated risks and benefits. If you both decide to proceed with the treatment at the end of the consultation, your provider will design a treatment plan. Patients can share this plan with the patient concierge for scheduling and pricing information.

Special Considerations for Laser Hair Removal for Men

As you gear up for your laser hair removal procedure, it’s important to keep in mind several factors:

  • Expectations: Laser hair removal is a highly effective procedure, but it is not perfect. It is important to maintain realistic expectations.
  • Shaving: It is unnecessary—and likely unproductive—to shave before your laser hair removal procedure.

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal for Men Treatment

On the day of your laser hair removal in the New Jersey and New York areas, your provider and staff will greet you and escort you to the state-of-the-art procedure room at ECAPS. A member of our staff will review your treatment plan and ensure you are comfortable. Once you are ready to proceed, a cold gel or cooling device may be applied to protect your skin, and you will be provided with protective eyewear.

ECAPS plastic surgeons will use various lasers to achieve the best results during your laser hair removal procedure. The procedures themselves can typically be completed within an hour. Once the session is finished, some redness may be around the treated area. It’s also important to note that while the laser system destroys the living hair follicle, the hair does not instantly disappear. It may take several weeks for the dead hair to fall out, although the bulk of the shedding process occurs during the first week after a session.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

You should wait four to eight weeks between sessions to allow the new crop of hair time to grow to a sufficient length, making it more easily targeted and dispatched. There is no safety issue with more treatments—they will simply make the entire process less efficient and more costly, both in terms of money and time.

Your plastic surgeons from East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery will give you detailed and individualized instructions on how best to care for your results to ensure that they last as long as possible.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in New Jersey?
