Laser Hair Removal for Men

Men's hair removal is no longer a "taboo"

Almost half of all new assessments at BFI are for men — and the reasons are practical: comfort in sport, appearance, hygiene, or simply an end to the ordeal of waxing. Men's hair, though, has its own rules: it is thicker, denser and fed by testosterone — so the programme is designed differently from a woman's.

• ✓Most popular areas: back, chest & abdomen, nape, shoulders — and "lowering" the beard line.
• ✓Natural thinning: you do not need "zero hair" — we can simply thin it out for a natural result.
• ✓Athletes: ideal for swimming, cycling, bodybuilding — without the cuts and the folliculitis of the razor.

How the result progresses

Because the hair is thicker, the first sessions in men often show a more dramatic difference — while the hormonal factor may call for 1–2 extra sessions in total:

The procedure step by step

1. Free assessment

   Analysis of your phototype and hair growth, a medical history and a personalised session plan.

2. Preparation

   Shaving of the area 24 hours beforehand; your therapist sets the laser to your own characteristics.

3. Session

   Short pulses with simultaneous cooling — the sensation of a brief "snap" with warmth.

4. After

   Moisturiser and sun protection. The hairs "shed" gradually over the next 1–3 weeks.

Before & after the session

• ✓Before: shave 24 hours beforehand — no wax or tweezers for 4 weeks, so that the root is there as a "target".
• ✓Before: our system does not require you to stay out of the sun — just tell us if you have tanned recently, so that we can adjust the settings.
• ✓After: moisturiser, a mild cleanser and SPF 50 on exposed areas for 2 weeks.
• ✓After: no sauna, hammam, intense exercise or very hot showers for 24–48 hours.
• ✓The preparatory shaving of awkward spots (back, shoulders) is done by our team at the appointment.

The research confirms it

Beard: shape without a daily razor

"Lowering" the beard is perhaps the cleverest use of the laser for men: we permanently clear the neck and the upper cheekbones, keeping the outline that suits you. The beard always looks well groomed — without the daily cuts and the razor irritation on the most sensitive part of the face.
