Is laser hair removal safe for men?

Yes, laser hair removal is safe for men when trained professionals use advanced technology like the SPLENDOR X laser. It is FDA-approved and designed to target hair follicles while protecting the surrounding skin.

What is the cost of laser hair removal for men?

The cost varies depending on factors such as the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and individual hair growth patterns. We recommend booking a consultation to get a personalised quote.

How effective is laser hair removal for men's backs?

Laser hair removal is highly effective for treating the back, as it efficiently targets thick, coarse hair. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results, but the procedure significantly reduces hair growth over time.

How long does laser last for men?

Results from laser hair removal can be long-lasting, with many experiencing permanent hair reduction after completing the recommended sessions. However, occasional maintenance treatments may be needed to manage any regrowth.

Does laser hair removal work on all hair types and skin tones?

Yes, with advanced lasers like the SPLENDOR X, treatment is effective for various hair types and skin tones. However, very light or grey hair may respond less effectively due to the lack of pigment.

Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?

Yes, shaving is the only recommended method of hair removal between sessions. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, as these methods remove the hair follicle and can interfere with the treatment's effectiveness.

Will laser hair removal make my skin sensitive?

Some redness or mild irritation may occur immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Following post-treatment care instructions will help minimise any discomfort.

Can I have laser hair removal if I have tattoos?

Laser hair removal should not be performed directly over tattoos, as the laser can react with the tattoo ink. However, our specialists can work around tattooed areas to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?

Laser hair removal is one of the best solutions for reducing and preventing ingrown hairs. Targeting the hair follicle at the root stops new hair from growing in a way that causes irritation or ingrown hairs.

Is laser hair removal painful for men?

Most men describe the sensation as mild discomfort, similar to the snap of an elastic band against the skin. The SPLENDOR X laser includes a cooling system to enhance comfort during treatment, making it more tolerable than waxing.

What areas of the body can men treat with laser hair removal?

Men commonly get laser hair removal on the back, chest, stomach, shoulders, neck, beard line, arms, and legs. Treatments can be customised based on personal preferences.

Can I have laser hair removal on my face?

Yes, laser hair removal is safe for areas like the beard line, cheeks, and neck. Many men choose it to achieve a well-groomed look or reduce irritation from shaving.

Will I need maintenance sessions after completing my laser hair removal treatments?

While laser hair removal provides long-lasting results, some clients may need occasional maintenance sessions to manage minimal regrowth. The frequency depends on individual hair growth patterns.

SCULPTRA

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable medical therapy designed to address age-related collagen loss and manage the clinical presentation of facial lines and volume deficits. It is increasingly utilised by medical professionals for these indications.

This treatment employs poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material, to stimulate endogenous collagen production. This process aims to progressively restore facial volume and improve skin structure. Sculptra is intended to provide results that are consistent with natural facial anatomy and can be considered as a non-surgical option for managing certain age-related structural changes.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is classified as a collagen bio-stimulator, designed to also provide volumisation. It is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a substance with an established safety profile from over 25 years of medical use, and is derived from renewable resources. PLLA particles work by initiating a controlled inflammatory response that signals fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This neocollagenesis aims to improve skin firmness and structure, thereby addressing the clinical presentation of facial folds associated with volume depletion.

Introduced in 1999, Sculptra is administered globally by trained medical professionals as a series of injections, with treatment protocols tailored to individual patient assessments and clinical needs. Rather than directly filling a wrinkle, Sculptra involves the placement of PLLA microparticles. As these particles biodegrade, they stimulate localised collagen production, leading to a gradual restoration of dermal thickness and volume

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Sculptra last?

The clinical effects of Sculptra are typically maintained for approximately 2-3 years, although individual patient experiences regarding duration may vary.

How does Sculptra differ from other injectable treatments?

They are different substances. Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid and Sculptra PLLA. Sculptra stimulates collagen, whereas dermal fillers add volume to even skin texture.

When is Sculptra indicated compared to other treatments?

The most appropriate treatment, whether Sculptra or another medical option such as hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, depends on a comprehensive medical assessment of your specific clinical indications, the anatomical area requiring treatment, and the nature of the age-related changes (e.g., volume depletion vs. dynamic lines). A personalised medical treatment plan will be recommended following your consultation.

What happens during the Sculptra treatment?

A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin before thoroughly cleaning the area. The solution is injected beneath the skin and gently massaged to ensure even distribution. Sculptra also contains lidocaine for added comfort.

When will I see the results of the Sculptra treatment?

You may see some immediate results, but these are usually temporary. As collagen increases, results will become more noticeable, usually around 2-3 months. The results will continue to show as more collagen is produced in the coming months.

Is there any downtime?

You may experience a small amount of swelling and bruising post-treatment, but most patients resume their daily activities immediately following the treatment.
