Whilst most Laser Hair Removal is targeted at women, there are many men who are not happy with hair on their bodies.  At Renatus Clinic, near Coventry, both men and women are treated for Laser Hair Removal.  Clinic owner, Natalie Meek says “these days men are much more conscious of their appearance, they are far more likely to do something about excessive hair than in the past, laser hair removal can offer a more permanent solution to help with confidence issues” she added “we have seen an increase in the number of men who come for treatments, we are in a private setting away from the High Street, where clients can rely on discreet and professional care”.

The treatments themselves are not as painful as you would expect, cold air is blown onto the skin when the laser pulse is delivered to minimise discomfort.  Before treatment, clients go through a free consultation and a test patch to ensure they are suitable for treatment.  At Renatus Clinic, they have two wavelengths on their Laser Hair Removal machine allowing them to choose the correct one for treating different skin types.  The Alexandrite wavelength is good for paler skin types and the Nd YAG wavelength is the safest to use on darker skin types such as Asian or Afro Caribbean skins.

Areas such as the back, shoulders, chests or abdomens are the most popular for men.  Although the lasers can be used on the face, such as the beard area.  Men who take part in sports such as cycling, swimming, kickboxing or bodybuilders, who are competing, remove unwanted hair from their bodies by shaving, waxing or using hair removal creams, these can leave rashes or spots can develop.  The lasers also help to eliminate in growing hairs which can cause large infected spots to appear on hair prone areas.

It is a fact that in today’s society we are judged on looks and appearances, and it can cause confidence issues in both men and women.  There are men out there who feel uncomfortable taking their top off on a beach because of their hairy back or shoulders, or they feel the need to get a chest wax before a new date.  On hot summer days, hairy areas perspire and sweat forms leaving telling marks on clothing, we women remove hair from many different areas on our bodies, so why should the male population be any different.  The truth is they are not, they too have insecurities about themselves and they are prepared to do something about them.
