Why does unwanted male hair grow?
Male hair growth is influenced by testosterone, leading to thicker and more noticeable hair patterns in areas like the face, chest, and back.
As men age, hair growth patterns can become more pronounced, and many choose to manage this with effective hair removal methods. Whether for cosmetic reasons, to avoid shaving irritation, or to simply achieve a cleaner look, men are increasingly opting for laser hair removal to manage unwanted hair growth.
Unwanted male hair often appears as thicker, coarser, and denser than that of women, commonly affecting areas like the face (beard line, upper lip, neck), chest, back, shoulders, and abdomen. Whether it's for grooming convenience or personal aesthetic preferences, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution for reducing body and facial hair growth, leaving your skin smoother and more manageable.
What causes male unwanted hair growth?
Testosterone drives the development of male-pattern hair growth.
Over time, these growth patterns often increase in thickness and coverage, especially in areas like the chest, shoulders, and face. Genetics also play a significant role, determining the density and location of body hair.
What can we do at Elite Skin Studio to assist further?
At Elite Skin Studio, we specialise in laser hair removal using the Cynosure Elite+ system. This treatment is ideal for removing dark, coarse hair and is safe for both facial and body hair. Here's how it works:
The Cynosure Elite+ targets the pigment in hair follicles using pulses of light, which destroys the hair follicle’s ability to grow hair. The treatment is precise and works effectively for large areas like the chest and back or smaller, more delicate areas like the beard line and neck. The laser is particularly effective for dark hair, making it a highly efficient option for those with dark, coarse hair. It’s a long-lasting solution that offers permanent hair reduction over time.

What’s involved in treatment?
- Consultation and Patch Test: Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation where we’ll assess your skin and hair type. A patch test will be performed to ensure that the treatment is suitable and safe for your skin.
- During Treatment: The Cynosure Elite+ will be used to emit pulses of light to target and destroy the hair follicles. The treatment is fast and effective, with most areas treated within a short session.
- Aftercare: After the treatment, there may be mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which will usually subside within a few hours. Avoid direct sun exposure and use moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated and calm.
What are the limitations of laser hair removal for men?
- Laser hair removal is most effective for dark, coarse hair. Light or grey hair will not respond satisfactorily to the treatment, and electrolysis may be a better alternative for those hair types.
- Multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results. Typically, it takes 6-10 sessions spaced out over several weeks to permanently reduce hair growth.
