Can men with facial hair get laser treatments?
Beards and Phototherapy
Men with beards can get LASER and other forms of phototherapy including IPL treatments. However, if you wish to keep your facial hair, you are limited to areas above your desired beard line. This is because hair reduction is a side effect of phototherapy.
Skin treatments for bearded men
For bearded men with skin concerns such as acne scarring, large pores, dark spots, or fine lines, we offer 1/2 face treatments that exclude the lower half of the face.
Large pores
A common skin concern amongst our male clientele is enlarged pores on the nose area. Usually what happens is over time the pores become slightly larger as we age and expose them to daily stressors, for example, hot showers. Because the pores grow larger, they are more susceptible to collecting and clogging up with oil/sweat/products/debris/etc. This clogging provides a darker colour making the pores stand out against the rest of your skin.
To treat this concern, we recommend starting with a PORE facial to extract the pores in preparation for phototherapy. Photofacials will help reduce the size of the pores. As a result, your pores will be less susceptible to collecting oil/sweat/products/debris/etc and will stay clear for longer periods.
Redness and broken capillaries
Another common skin concern for men is facial redness and broken capillaries. Redness and broken capillaries could be due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, sensitized skin, or simply genetically sensitive skin.
These types of conditions are characterized by frequent, consistent redness, and visible redness and broken capillaries. If left untreated these conditions can worsen, or mutate the skin’s texture. Men with beards can get laser treatments to address these types of concerns.
Beardline precision treatment
Men with facial hair can opt for a clean beard line 24/7! With IPL hair removal, we are able to permanently shape the beard line with laser precision. IPL treatments zap live hair roots. As a result, regrowth stops in the treated areas.
Permanent beard removal
Men who wish to remove their beard permanently can do so with IPL Hair Removal. This can be booked online as a “half-face” treatment.
Peace, Love, and Great Skin!
