How Laser Hair Removal Actually Works
Laser hair removal targets the melanin (pigment) in your hair. The laser light is absorbed and converted into heat to disable the hair follicle, but only when the hair is in its active growth phase (anagen stage). That’s why multiple sessions are necessary to catch each hair in its growth stage.

Laser Hair Removal For Men
Male grooming, and particularly laser hair removal has become increasingly popular in most recent years, as men now display a far more open attitude towards beauty and aesthetic treatments to improve the way they look and feel.
Excessive hair growth in men is often caused by excessive levels of testosterone, but this is not always the case as genetics, age and ethnicity also play a part.
Just as hair maintenance is a nuisance for women, it is equally so for men, especially on noticeable or difficult to reach areas such as the back, shoulders or neck, which is why painful waxing and irritating shaving is becoming a thing of the past as more and more men are opting for long term permanent results, rather than short term methods of hair maintenance.
All areas of the body are treatable, with the most popular areas typically being chest, back, shoulders, abdomen, neck and cheeks with increasing popularity to treat hands, arms, legs, feet and buttocks; and just as bikini lines are most popular with women, so too are speedo lines with men.
What’s the Difference Between Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?
When choosing a hair removal treatment, it’s important to understand the key differences between Laser Hair Removal and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) — as they are not the same technology.
Laser uses a single, concentrated wavelength of light designed to precisely target the melanin (pigment) within the hair follicle. This focused energy heats and disables the follicle while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Because the laser is so specific, it delivers more effective and longer-lasting results.
At Sheer Skin Clinic, we use the LightSheer Quattro™ diode laser, a medical-grade system proven to achieve optimal results safely.
In contrast, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices emit a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, similar to a flashlamp. This light is scattered at varying depths in the skin, meaning only some wavelengths effectively target the hair follicle. The rest can be absorbed by surrounding tissue, increasing the risk of surface heating and pigmentation changes, particularly for darker skin tones.
While IPL can be beneficial for certain skin rejuvenation treatments (such as reducing pigmentation, redness, or broken capillaries), it is not as precise or powerful as laser technology when it comes to permanent hair reduction.

FAQs
Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. Most clients experience 80-95% reduction in hair growth after a full treatment course. Some dormant follicles may later produce finer, lighter hairs. Periodic “top-up” treatments may be advised.
You’ll notice reduced regrowth and smoother skin after your first session. Most clients see significant results by their third or fourth session as the follicles become weaker and hair reduced and finer.
Yes - when carried out by trained professionals using medical-grade lasers. At Sheer Skin Clinic, our LightSheer Quattro™ system includes cooling technology to protect the skin and ensure comfort.
Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap or flick, similar to an elastic band. The built-in cooling system and professional technique make treatments highly tolerable, even on sensitive areas. For those that are accustomed to waxing, they feel it is far less painful than waxing. We will perform a patch test before performing a full treatment, so you will experience the sensation before committing to the full course of treatments.
Laser hair removal is safe for most skin tones, including darker complexions. The treatment works best on hair with pigment (brown to black). Very light blonde, red, or grey hair will not respond effectively due to lack of pigment.
We advise avoiding recent sun exposure or fake tan before treatment. Tanned skin can increase the risk of pigmentation changes and adverse effects. Your practitioner will recommend when it’s safe to resume sessions after tanning. We take the safety of our clients very seriously so please always be honest as this is to protect the safety of your skin.
Laser hair removal may not be suitable if you’re pregnant, taking photosensitive medication, have an active skin condition, or have used Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) within the past 6–12 months. We’ll discuss your medical history in full during your consultation.
A course of six sessions is our minimum recommendation. Facial areas are treated every 4–6 weeks, while body areas are every 6–8 weeks. Your plan will be customised based on your hair type, skin tone, and any hormonal factors.
Hair grows in stages and laser energy only targets follicles during the active growth (anagen) phase. Since not all hairs are in that phase at once, several sessions ensure full coverage and best long-term results.
Absolutely. Laser hair removal is ideal for men wanting to reduce unwanted hair on the back, chest, shoulders, neck, or beard area. Treatments are tailored to your goals and comfort.
It’s normal for some follicles to produce fine regrowth. We offer maintenance / top-up sessions to keep your results long-lasting.
Mild redness, swelling, or itching may appear shortly after treatment but typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Rare side effects include temporary pigmentation changes. We recommend SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin.
Yes - shaving is the only hair removal method allowed between treatments. Avoid waxing, epilating, plucking, or threading, as these remove the hair root needed for the laser to be effective. You will however notice that the need to manage your hair growth will be reduced considerably right from the very first treatment.
You will be given clear aftercare instructions when you undergo Laser Hair Removal treatment at the Clinic. As a summary, you will need to:
- Apply soothing aloe vera (which will be done in treatment)
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and exercise for 24 hours
- Use SPF 30+ daily on exposed areas
- Avoid active skincare acids or retinol for 3–5 days post-treatment
