Laser hair removal for men in Munich

What men most often have lasered

¹ Permanent hair reduction requires several treatments, depending on the body area and the individual hair and skin type. Success cannot be guaranteed, even when the treatment is carried out professionally. On light, red, grey or white hair, the treatment is ineffective or only partially effective.

Beard contours instead of a full beard

Most want to keep their beard and simply stop shaving its edges every day: the neck line, the cheek line, the transitions. That is what Beard contours is for – the beard itself stays. What has been lasered grows back much more weakly – so a lasered contour can hardly be brought back. That is why we agree on the line together before the first session.

Why some areas cost more for men

Not because you are a man, but because the appointment takes longer. For a man's back we allow 50 minutes instead of 40, for the chest and the abdomen 25 instead of 20 each. Where the area and the session length are the same – underarms, front of the neck, back of the neck, hands – the price is the same for everyone. This affects nine out of more than forty items, and each one has its duration listed next to it.

What you should know before your first appointment

Shave the day before or that morning – the hair should sit in the skin. No sunbed and no self-tanner for four weeks beforehand. No waxing and no epilating: the laser needs the hair root, and without it nothing happens.

No exercise, sauna or hot showers for 24 hours after the session. If you are having your back done, it is worth not booking the appointment on a training day.

Does the laser work on every hair type?

Best on dark, coarse hair – and that applies to most of the areas we are talking about here. On light blonde, red, grey or white hair, no laser on the market works, ours included. In men, this most often concerns the upper arms, and the back in lighter hair types. At the initial consultation we tell you this before the first session, not after the fourth.

The device: Alma Soprano ICE Platinum

Three wavelengths at once from a single handpiece – 755, 810 and 1064 nm – plus contact cooling that keeps the skin surface at around 25 °C during the treatment. The handpiece is glided over the skin instead of being placed pulse by pulse. How this works in detail is explained on the device page.
