Now-a-days, it's no surprise that men enjoy the clean look. Whether its for the looks, maintaining personal hygiene or just to reduce the ingrown hair, men have been opting for full body hair removal. The most common ways to remove body hair for men are:
Shaving - They are messy, not precise and can often lead to infections and ingrown hair
Trimming - The hair grows back within a couple of days because the hair is on the surface.
Waxing - One of the most painful hair removal processes, in today's day and age no one wants to go through that.
The easiest and most effective way of hair removal in the market today is Permanent Laser Hair Removal for Men. There is no simpler and long lasting approach to hair removal other than laser hair removal. The steps are performed by trained therapists at UNCOVER Laser, Skin & Hair Clinic are as follows:
The process of laser hair removal for men remains the same. The experts usually take care of all the important steps but there are a couple of things that you should keep in mind before going for laser hair removal. Always keep in mind the following:
Right before the treatment, ensure you are around in the sun less than usual days. This is because excessive sun exposure can cause a lot of problems while doing laser hair removal. If you have a sun burn or if your skin is overly sensitive because of the sun, your doctor might not let you go ahead with laser hair removal. Just stay protected a week before your session and you’ll be good to go. Always wear sunscreen before heading out.
For best results, we recommend to have your maximum hair growth. This allows the doctor to understand how your hair growth is and how many sessions you would require to get the best results. If it’s urgent, just shave the area so that the doctor and the therapist can see the hair follicles.
Always ensure that you have not removed your hair by any other methods like waxing, threading, hair removal creams or plucking. This makes it really difficult for the doctor and the therapist to analyse how many sessions and the frequency of laser hair removal you would need.
Never use any creams, lotions or serums with active ingredients on your skin or specifically on the area where you are about to get to laser hair removal. Actives like AHA, BHA, Retinol etc. to ensure maximum results from your laser hair removal session.
Always ensure that your doctor knows about your medications and any undergoing treatments. This is just to be extra safe. Laser hair removal is an external and safe procedure however, it’s best always to keep your doctor informed.
Laser hair removal for men is one of the most popular treatments at UNCOVER Clinics. Men usually have different reasons to get laser hair removal than women. Most women often do get their hair removal done either one way or the other. Men, on the other hand have a preference of either keeping their hair or not. Men who like the clean look opt for various hair removal ways but regularly shaving and waxing is a pure hassle for men. This is where laser hair removal comes into picture:
The process of laser hair removal removes the same for both men and women. However, there are some factors that we should consider if we have to differentiate between the process for all genders.
Men usually have thicker hair and the hair is also more dense, especially when we compare it with women. Keep that in mind, some women who have hormonal disbalances, may also have thicker hair. Thicker and denser hair means more number of sessions of laser hair removal and higher frequency. This is why hair growth and thickness is an important factor for men. Usually men need 8 sessions of laser hair removal to see 95% reduction in hair.
A lot of men and women opt for full body laser hair removal. However, when it comes to individual body parts, men and women usually opt for different areas. The most common areas for laser hair removal in men are:
While women usually focus on arms, legs, bikini etc.
Hormones are one of the most contributing factors to the intensity of your hair growth. Certain hormones in the male body cause thicker hair which may require more sessions and even more frequent maintenance sessions.
Laser hair removal is an advanced medical procedure that requires doctor's intervention. While it has become an extremely popular procedure for men, don't go to salons or a clinic without a doctor for this procedure. Always go to a trusted laser and skin clinic for your laser hair removal sessions to see the best results.
UNCOVER Clinics takes pride in being pioneers of Laser Hair Removal in India.

Preparing for laser hair removal is not something that you should think much about, especially when you are leaving it to the experts at UNCOVER Laser Clinic. Just keep in mind a couple of things before the session:
1. Keep the areas protected from sun exposure. Always apply SPF in exposed areas and avoid sitting in the sun for long hours, 24-48 hours prior to your laser hair removal session.
2. Don't shave, pluck, wax or bleach the hair before your laser hair removal session. This makes it difficult for the doctor and therapists to prepare the right plan for your laser hair removal sessions.
3. Don't use any active ingredient based lotions and creams on your body 24-48 hours prior your laser hair removal appointment.
What to expect during laser hair removal treatment?
You can expect a few things while getting laser hair removal, especially if it is your first session:
What is the aftercare for doing laser hair removal?
Once you are done with your laser hair removal session, you need to keep a few things in mind:
Always keep the treated area protected with SPF. It is important to keep the exposed area always away from the sun after getting laser hair removal. This is because the skin is sensitive for a couple of days around the area.
Don’t indulge in very heavy exercises or even hot baths and saunas. The heat can irritate your skin and cause redness, irritation and swelling.
Always keep the skin moisturized and use SPF as well. Take advice of your doctor to understand which products to use. This is because any active skincare ingredients in your moisturizers can heavily irritate your skin after getting a laser hair removal session. If needed, only use skincare prescribed by your doctor.
Don’t opt for waxing, threading or hair removal creams to remove unwanted body hair in between sessions. Ideally you should let your hair grow naturally and only get them removed in your next session. If it is extremely required, you may shave to remove the hair and nothing else.

With laser hair removal, men can reduce upto 95% of their hair. This means you would only need to pick the razor or get a maintenance session once or twice a year. This is the drastic difference and result that laser hair removal can provide you.
Therefore laser hair removal is not completely permanent however, it can give you amazing results for a very long time. This means no hassle of shaving, trimming or hair removal creams anymore, just smooth skin.
