Laser hair removal for men is the only effective and painless way to obtain smooth, hair-free skin for good. This medical treatment is a real comfort in daily life (work, swimming pool or beach, sports activities) for men who wish to stop their hair regrowth.
Our Aesthetic Clinic of the Croix d’Or in Geneva is specialized in laser hair treatment. We accompany you in your project of permanent hair removal by treating your hair effectively and durably on all parts of the body.
PRESENTATION OF MAN LASER hair removal
Male hairs are thicker and deeper in the dermis than female hairs, which is why male laser hair removal is different. To permanently remove male hair, the medical team of Croix d’Or in Geneva uses high-performance and innovative medical lasers that allow fast and effective hairs treatment.
Permanent laser depilation allows the elimination of male hairiness on almost all areas of the body: on the back, on the surface of the torso, on the contour of the beard to treat ingrown hairs, the shoulders, but also other areas can be treated by laser hair removal such as the forearms, legs, armpits, abdomen or genitals.
The treatment is suitable for every skin type, from fair to dark skin. The laser will interact with your hairiness by treating the melanin in your hair. If your hair is too light (white, blond or red) it will not be possible to treat it. It is during your first consultation that your specialist doctor will determine whether you can benefit from laser treatment for men.
Your Aesthetic Clinic of the Croix d’Or in Geneva also welcomes women for consultations and laser hair removal sessions for men.

AREAS TREATED BY MAN LASER hair removal
The most frequently treated areas are the back and shoulders, torso and beard. In our medical hair removal center in Geneva, our team of aesthetic doctors offers you the following laser treatments:
LASER hair removal OF THE BACK AND THE SHOULDERS
This area is the most popular area for laser hair removal in men.
All skin types can be treated with the Alexandrite (phototype 1 to 4) or Nd Yag (phototype 5 and 6) lasers.
It is imperative to shave the area to be treated beforehand.
The doctor will make sure to delimit the areas with the patient in order to carry out the treatment on the level of the mature hair and not the down.
Sessions should be spaced several weeks apart (on average 4 to 12).
LASER hair removal OF THE TORSO
Often associated with laser hair removal of the abdomen, laser hair removal od the torso is increasingly in demand. For aesthetic or sporting reasons, or even before a holiday in the sun, men often take the laser step.
Sometimes sensitive, the torso area may require the application of an anaesthetic cream prior to the session.
It is imperative to shave the area to be treated beforehand.
The doctor will make sure to delimit the areas with the patient in order to perform the treatment at the level of the mature hairiness and not the fuzz.
LASER hair removal OF THE BEARD
The area of the beard is specific to men. The reasons for consultation are often different (rubbing of the shirt collar, repeated buttons and folliculitis, ingrown hairs). The depilatory laser is a very good indication in this case with a real curative effectiveness.
It should be noted that the total eradication of beard hair can give a more feminine look to the face. It is to be considered with much attention because of its definitive character.
COURSE OF THE INTERVENTION FOR MAN LASER hair removal
Do you have an appointment for a first consultation in our medical hair removal center of Geneva? Welcome! Here is how this first meeting will take place.
From your very first session, our specialists at the Laser Centre of the Aesthetic Clinic of the Croix d’Or in Geneva are at your disposal.
An aesthetic doctor of the clinic will begin by performing a complete examination of the areas to be depilated of your body. This first visual examination consists of identifying the characteristics of the areas to be treated, which will allow us to determine how to treat them.
Your skin is suitable for laser treatment and you confirm your definitive hair removal procedure? Your doctor will then make sure that you are comfortable, and check that your skin is completely clean before any laser treatment. Once ready, the treatment can begin.
Man laser depilation is very well tolerated. It should be noted that for certain people and on certain areas, the doctor may suggest the use of an anaesthetic cream to be applied 1 hour before the session on the treatment area. This solution on a case by case basis will be proposed to you by the doctor of our medical depilation centre in Geneva, after diagnosis only.
Rest assured, most men perform the entire laser treatment without anaesthetic cream!
The duration of the session may vary according to the size and difficulty of the area to be treated, but never exceeds 90 minutes.
At the end of the procedure, the patient will receive a repairing cream.
Several sessions are recommended (generally 5 to 7 sessions, at intervals of 30 to 45 days) for optimal results. At this stage, the hair destroyed by the laser is permanently destroyed.
In men, for hormonal reasons, a new growth may appear. Maintenance sessions may then be necessary (1 per year before the summer, for example).
In all cases, the treatment and follow-up are always personalised.
The doctors at the Medical Laser Centre of the Clinique esthétique de la Croix d’Or in Geneva are available to listen to you and advise you after each session.
MAN LASER hair removal SIDE EFFECTS
After the operation, a slight redness may occur, which will be immediately calmed by a soothing cream. This is a rare case, but it is possible that on tanned skin where the laser has been applied, superficial burns may be observed. Don’t worry, these cases are uncommon and have no long-term aesthetic consequences.
CONTRAINDICATIONS OF MAN LASER hair removal IN GENEVA
