Laser hair removal with Elysion for men is an effective solution for long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair on different areas of the face and body. The technology is suitable for all skin phototypes – from 1 to 6 on the Fitzpatrick scale – and allows treatments to be performed throughout different seasons of the year.
Male body hair is generally denser and coarser, particularly in areas such as the back, chest, abdomen, and shoulders. For this reason, selecting the appropriate settings and carrying out an individual assessment before the treatment are especially important for achieving good results.
How does laser hair removal with Elysion work?
Elysion uses diode laser technology that directs light energy towards the melanin in the hair. The energy reaches the hair follicle and treats it through controlled thermal action while protecting the surrounding skin.
Because hair goes through different growth phases, a course of treatments is required for optimal results. Over time, hair growth in the treated areas is reduced, while the remaining hairs may become finer and less dense.
Which areas can be treated in men?
Laser hair removal for men can be performed on both small and sensitive areas as well as larger areas of the body.
Some of the most commonly treated areas include:
- back;
- chest;
- abdomen;
- shoulders;
- arms and underarms;
- neck and nape;
- cheekbones and specific facial areas;
- legs;
- intimate areas.
The treatment can also be suitable for men who do not want a completely hair-free result but are looking for a reduction in the density and amount of hair in a particular area.
Comfort during the treatment
Elysion features the Crystal Freeze cooling system, which maintains a constant temperature of 6°C at the tip of the applicator. The cooling system helps protect the skin from excessive heat and significantly improves comfort during the treatment.
This is particularly important when treating larger areas and areas with dense male body hair.
What are the benefits of laser hair removal for men?
- long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair;
- suitable for large areas such as the back, chest, and legs;
- reduced need for frequent shaving;
- lower risk of ingrown hairs;
- smoother and more well-groomed-looking skin;
- suitable for different skin types and phototypes;
- no recovery period required.
Is it suitable for ingrown hairs?
Frequent shaving can lead to irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs, particularly around the neck, nape, and other sensitive areas.
By gradually reducing hair growth, laser hair removal can help minimise problems associated with ingrown hairs and frequent mechanical hair removal.
Is the treatment safe?
When performed by a trained professional using appropriately selected settings, laser hair removal with Elysion is gentle on the skin. Depending on individual sensitivity, mild and temporary redness may occur in the treated area after the procedure.
Are there any contraindications?
Laser hair removal is not recommended in certain cases, including:
- active eczema in the treatment area;
- active dermatitis or skin irritation;
- certain medical conditions for which the treatment may be contraindicated;
- use of certain photosensitising medications.
Areas with tattoos are not treated directly with the laser, as the pigment may absorb the laser energy. Moles are also not treated directly, and the specialist will determine an appropriate safe distance around them.
The treatment is not performed on the testicles.
Is there any downtime?
No special recovery period is required. After the treatment, you can return to your usual daily activities while following the specialist's recommendations for caring for the treated area.
How should you prepare for laser hair removal?
Proper preparation is important for both the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
- Do not remove hair using waxing, an epilator, or any other method that removes the hair from the root before the treatment.
- Follow your specialist's instructions regarding shaving the area before your appointment.
- Avoid intense sun exposure and tanning beds immediately before and after the treatment.
- Use appropriate sun protection on treated areas that are exposed to sunlight.
- Inform your specialist if you are taking medication or using products that may increase the skin's sensitivity to light.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments required varies from person to person and depends on the treatment area, hair density and structure, skin phototype, and individual hair growth cycle.
In men, some areas may require more sessions due to denser and more active hair growth. Following a consultation, your specialist can recommend a suitable treatment plan and appropriate intervals between sessions.
With Elysion, laser hair removal for men offers a practical solution for long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair, easier everyday maintenance, and greater skin comfort.
