Permanent hair removal is more than just a grooming trend. It’s a wise invest in your comfort, confidence, and self-care routine.

Male permanent hair removal is commonly done using laser hair removal or electrolysis. Laser hair treatment targets the hair follicle with light energy, providing a long-lasting reduction, especially effective on larger areas such as the chest, back, and shoulders.

For truly permanent results on all hair types, including light or white hair, electrolysis is the most reliable option.

In this blog, we’ll cover everything men need to know about permanent hair removal, exploring laser and electrolysis methods.

Male Permanent Hair Removal Guide: 10 Areas, 2 Methods & 7 Key Facts [Complete Breakdown]

Laser hair removal and electrolysis provide long-lasting solutions for men seeking to reduce or permanently eliminate unwanted hair. Whether you're targeting large areas, such as the back, or small zones, like the beard or ears, CoLaz provides advanced, professional treatments tailored to your skin and hair type for practical and comfortable results.

Laser Hair Removal for Men

Laser hair removal uses light power to target melanin in the hair follicle, damaging it and slowing future growth. It’s one of the fastest and most effective solutions for large areas of the body.

  • Best suited for men with lighter skin and darker hair
  • Common areas treated: chest, back, neck, beard line, shoulders, and intimate zones.
  • Comfortable and precise, thanks to advanced technology

CoLaz Laser Services. At CoLaz, we utilize the latest machines, renowned for their quick results and minimal discomfort. Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart and typically require 6–8 sessions, with occasional touch-ups for maintenance.

Electrolysis: True Permanent Hair Removal

Electrolysis is the best FDA-approved method for permanent hair reduction. It operates by inserting a fine probe into each hair follicle and applying a tiny electric current to destroy it.

  • Works on all hair colours and skin types
  • Great for small, targeted areas like the beard, ears, and eyebrows
  • Especially effective for white or blonde hair that lasers may miss

CoLaz Electrolysis for Men. Our trained professionals deliver safe and effective treatments using sterile, single-use probes. A complete course may take several sessions, depending on the area and hair density, but results are permanent.

Laser vs. Electrolysis: What’s Best for Men?

Both options are excellent, but they serve different purposes.

  • Laser is ideal for larger areas and quicker sessions
  • Electrolysis is better for fine, light hairs or smaller areas
  • Combination treatments can offer full-body solutions for lasting results

At CoLaz, we guide you in choosing the right option based on your skin tone, hair type, and treatment goals.

Common Hair Removal Areas for Men

Men often request treatment in the following areas:

  • Chest and stomach are popular for a cleaner, defined look
  • Back and shoulders help reduce sweating and irritation.
  • Arms and underarms, especially in warmer months
  • Neck and beard shaping for cleaner lines and less shaving.
  • Intimate areas (Male Brazilian) for comfort, hygiene, and confidence
  • Ears and nose are subtle but impactful grooming touches

What to Expect During Treatment

Ultimate Men’s Guide to Permanent Hair Removal: 10 Areas, 2 Options & 7 Expert Tips

It’s natural to have questions before starting your treatment. Here’s a quick overview:

  • You’ll begin with a consultation and patch test to ensure suitability
  • Expect mild discomfort. Some compare it to a light snapping or heat sensation.
  • Sessions last between 15 to 60 minutes, relying on the area.
  • Multiple sessions are needed due to hair growth cycles

Pre-Treatment & Aftercare Tips

To get the best results, proper prep and care are essential:

Before Treatment

  • Shave the area 24 hours before your session
  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and strong skincare products.

After Treatment

  • Skip hot showers, saunas, or intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
  • Use soothing creams or aloe vera to calm the skin.
  • Follow your technician’s aftercare plan to reduce side effects

Safety, Risks & Side Effects

Hair removal treatments are safe when performed by trained professionals, but mild side effects may occur:

  • Redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity
  • Rare risks like skin burns or pigmentation changes (mostly with improper technique)

How Much Does Treatment Cost?

Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?

Some people may need to skip dermaplaning to avoid irritation or damage.

  • Sensitive skin: If your skin is highly sensitive to products or treatments, dermaplaning may be too harsh for you.
  • Active acne: If you have cystic or inflamed acne, dermaplaning can spread bacteria and aggravate the condition..
  • Sunburn or irritation: Don’t dermaplane if your skin is sunburned or irritated. It needs time to heal first.

Dermaplaning for Specific Concerns

Dermaplaning can help with certain skin problems.

  • Acne scars: If you have light acne scars, dermaplaning can help make your skin smoother.
  • Sun damage: Dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of sun spots and dark spots by removing dead skin cells.

Conclusion

Getting rid of unwanted hair for good is a smart choice for many men. It helps you feel cleaner, more confident, and saves time. There are two main ways to do this: laser hair removal and electrolysis. Laser hair treatment uses light to target hair follicles, making it effective for people with light skin and dark hair. Electrolysis utilizes a tiny electric current to destroy each hair follicle and works on all hair and skin types.

At CoLaz, we specialize in helping men with these treatments. Our friendly and trained staff use the latest technology to make sure you get the best results. We'll guide you through the whole process from your first consultation to aftercare so you always feel comfortable and informed.
