IPL Laser Hair Removal for Men
SpaMedica is one of Grand Rapids’ only med spas to offer fast, affordable, painless IPL Laser Hair Removal for men.
We offer the advanced CynoSure Icon IPL laser hair removal system, in a discreet and welcoming environment for men. Unlike many other hair removal methods, this revolutionary treatment is strong enough to use on even the coarsest and thickest men’s hair – but gentle enough to be performed on even the most sensitive areas of a man’s face and body.
In this article, we discuss why painless and permanent CynoSure Icon IPL is the best laser hair removal treatment for men.
How Icon IPL Men’s Laser Hair Removal Works
The Icon laser uses “Intense Pulsed Light” (IPL) to remove men’s hair with extremely rapid pulses of laser heat energy. Special wavelengths of laser light are emitted that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
This enables the laser pulses to safely penetrate the skin and destroy the hair follicles, without pain and without skin damage that would require downtime.
Because men’s hair naturally grows in 3 different stages, all of the hair follicles are not in the same stage at the same time. And since the treatment must be applied when the follicle is in the active growth stage, only a percentage of hair follicles will be destroyed with each treatment. Therefore, to effectively and more completely reduce unwanted hair, multiple laser treatments are necessary.
The number of treatments will depend on the area being treated, as well as the patients rate of hair growth, type and thickness of hair, etc. But most men can achieve optimal hair removal in only 3 to 6 sessions.
Why Consider Icon IPL Men’s Laser Hair Removal
CynoSure Icon IPL is superior to other hair removal systems for many reasons. Because Cynosure IPL laser hair removal treatments destroy the hair cells responsible for hair growth, without damaging the surrounding skin, there is little to no swelling, redness or other skin damage that requires a recovery period. So, men are free to return to work or their normal daily activities the same day as their treatment.
Additionally, the rapid pulses of the laser heat are only 450 microseconds long. (A microsecond is one millionth of a second.) Because the pulses are so rapid, there is virtually no pain associated with the treatment. Most of our male patients describe Icon laser hair removal treatment as feeling like a “tingling” sensation, or the snapping of a rubber band.
And, unlike many other types of lasers, Cynosure Icon laser hair reduction is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones. It is also unique in that it can be effective in treating lighter as well as darker hair. This means that men of almost all skin colors and ethnicities are good candidates for Icon laser hair removal.
Men’s Laser Hair Removal for Face, Body & Intimate Areas
For some men, an overgrowth of unwanted hair is primarily due to heredity or ethnicity. For others, unwanted hair may be caused by a medical or hormonal condition. Certain medications can also cause hair overgrowth in unwanted areas.
But, regardless of the cause, men in the Grand Rapids can get smooth, hair-free skin at SpaMedica with painless Icon laser hair removal treatments.
The Cynosure Icon laser offers the most advanced men’s laser hair removal technology, for removing hair from anywhere on a man’s face or body.
