Facial Laser hair removal in Jacksonville isn’t just for women. Like many other cosmetic procedures, it’s becoming a popular choice for men ready to jettison morning shaving rituals for a permanently smooth mug. But differences exist in laser hair removal procedures and results for men and women.

Laser hair removal works best for both male and female patients with light colored skin and dark hair. Darker skin can scar or discolor more visibly. And lasers can make individual hairs finer and lighter in color after just a few treatments. All patients are advised to avoid sun exposure in the weeks before and after treatment to minimize the chance of a change of skin color.

However, male facial hair removal in Jacksonville and elsewhere typically is a bigger time commitment than for women. More treatments are required and many men will follow laser hair removal with electrolysis to help rid them of grey hairs that lasers won’t remove. Also, many men have whisker-like hair growth on their necks. These hairs can point in multiple directions, making shaving difficult. Shaving rashes and ingrown hairs are common annoyances. Laser hair removal for the neck is an option, but be aware that the skin on your neck is very thin and sensitive. As a result, you may experience more redness, but it will subside quickly.

For laser hair removal, Jacksonville’s Garcia Institute and Reviva Medical Spa use the GentleLase alexandrite laser with Dynamic Cooling Device for the fastest and most comfortable treatment available today.  It can be used on any area of the body and limited areas of the face. Many patients in Jacksonville ask about laser hair treatment for the eyebrows. However, because eye protection is critical, we do not treat areas close to the eyes with lasers. For eyebrow shaping, we offer high-quality waxing services instead.
