The beard, a sign of masculinity or not...
Laser hair removal in Paris is increasingly becoming part of the beauty routine of Parisian men. For aesthetic or hygienic reasons, men are flocking to clinics or rushing for special men’s packages offered by major retailers. Indeed, some are tired of their excessive hair growth, while others can no longer tolerate the skin irritation caused by shaving. To avoid these daily nuisances, some men are turning to laser hair removal for the beard performed by a doctor. This is a medical procedure best done once the hair system is mature, meaning in the absence of fine down.
While the beard has long symbolised masculinity, it has almost become outdated today. And for good reason, masculine icons generally showcase hairless bodies, not to mention their well-groomed faces! It’s all a matter of taste; some have faces that suit a beard and have the need to assert their masculinity with hair; for others, it concerns eliminating the hair that disrupts their beauty routine.
Why choose laser hair removal ?
Permanent hair removal destroys the hair follicle via its melanin (pigment). The laser emits heat to raise the temperature of the hair to around 70°C. The hair will then be eliminated and the treated germinative area sterilised. New hairs will not be able to implant there, and the skin will not suffer any lesions. This is what we call selective photothermolysis. Before each session, the doctor will determine the settings of the device to tailor the laser action to the patient's skin. The emitted light beams will allow for a very intense pulse.
Different parts of the face are highly sought after by men. This will involve removing hair from the area around the nose, the glabellar region, and the beard. Indeed, laser hair removal for the beard will allow it to be further thinned out, reduce daily irritation sensations, diminish the occurrence of folliculitis related to hair infection, or prevent ingrown hairs. The beard continuously regenerates, so it is advisable to have closely spaced laser sessions (every 4 to 6 weeks) to eliminate as many hairs as possible in the growth phase. The treated area will not be uniform after the first session but will become much more homogeneous as regrowth occurs. This area of the face remains delicate, so applying a numbing cream will enhance your comfort.
