COMMON FRUSTRATIONS MEN HAVE WITH SHAVING & WAXING

Details of Issue

Redness and discomfort, common in sensitive areas.

Ingrown Hairs

Painful, irritated bumps and potential infections.

Regrowth requires constant upkeep.

Cuts & Nicks

Risk of injury, especially around contoured or sensitive areas.

Blade Maintenance

Blades are expensive and must be repurchased frequently.

Time Consuming

Maintaining results demands time, especially over large areas.

HOW DOES MALE LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?

Laser hair removal targets the melanin (pigment) in your hair. This pigment absorbs the laser’s energy, which is converted into heat. This heat then disables the follicle, preventing future hair growth and causing the treated hair to fall out.

IS LASER EFFECTIVE ON MALE BODY HAIR?

Yes, laser hair removal is highly effective for male body hair.

The thicker nature of male hair allows it to better absorb the laser's energy. However, this increased energy absorption also increases the risk of burns or other side effects—always follow the device's instructions, especially when treating sensitive areas or those with high hair density.

WHICH AREAS CAN MEN TREAT?

Laser hair removal devices such as the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser can be used on most of the male body:

  • Arms and underarms
  • Back and shoulders
  • Chest and abdomen (avoiding the nipples)
  • Beard line and facial hair (avoiding the throat/thyroid area)
  • Legs
  • Intimate / pubic areas (avoiding the genitals and anus)
  • Hands and feet

PROFESSIONAL VS. AT-HOME TREATMENTS

The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is clinically proven to deliver up to 100% hair removal and clinical-grade, permanent results* at home, saving both time and money

Men in the USA could save an average of $4,200 compared to the cost of a full course of professional treatments.

WHO IS AT-HOME LASER BEST SUITED TO?

At-home laser hair removal is suitable for men and women over 18. The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is safe and effective for anyone with skin tones I to IV on the Fitzpatrick Scale with light brown to black hair. For a rough guide, please check this suitability chart.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A LASER HAIR REMOVAL DEVICE

There are two key factors for achieving the best results:

Power:
More power means a stronger laser. Low-power devices struggle to remove thicker, more stubborn male hairs. The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is the highest power that is safe for home use, with up to 233% more power than leading IPL devices.

Precision:
Precise wavelengths are clinically proven to be more effective than broad spectrums of light, such as IPL. 810nm is the optimum wavelength for hair removal, used in clinics and the Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser.

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL SAFE FOR MEN?

Laser hair removal is safe for men with skin tones I to IV on the Fitzpatrick Scale. However, precautions should be taken when treating certain areas, including the face and pubic area.

The thicker hair in these areas absorbs more energy, increasing the risk of discomfort and side effects. One user tip is to apply ice to sensitive areas both before and after treatment to reduce the sensation.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR MALE LASER HAIR REMOVAL

DO

DON'T

Shave 24-48 hours before treatment

Wax, pluck or use hair removal cream

Clean skin on day of treatment

Apply lotions, creams, oils or deodorant on the day of your treatment

Avoid sun exposure 2-4 weeks before treatment

Use sunbeds or sunbathe 2-4 weeks before treatment

Check with a doctor if you’re on medication before treatment

Take any medication that increases skin sensitivity

Stay hydrated and moisturise skin up to 24 hours before treatment

Drink alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours before treatment (increases skin sensitivity)

Use Phytograph Hydrating Calm Soothing Gel or a numbing cream before treatment

Workout just before treatment (increased body heat and sweat can increase risk of side effects)

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER MALE LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser delivers up to 75% hair reduction in as few as 2 treatments. For optimal results, a full course of around 8 treatments is recommended, although men may require more sessions due to having thicker, more stubborn hair.

Your skin may feel dry following treatment. Apply a cooling moisturiser—such as our Phytograph Hydrating Calm Soothing Gel—both before and after to hydrate the skin and minimise sensation.

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORTH IT FOR MEN?

At-home laser hair removal is a worthwhile investment due to its long-term effectiveness. The thicker, coarser nature of male hair makes it an ideal target for laser energy.

This eliminates the inconvenience of shaving or waxing, while saving both time and money compared to professional laser treatments with savings averaging around $4,200.

*Permanent results are defined as 'a permanent reduction in hair regrowth'. i.e., a long-term stable reduction in hair counts following a full course of laser treatments. Hair removal and reduction results are based on independent clinical studies.
