Laser Beard Shaping

A well groomed beard is a game changer when it comes to your looks. However, maintaining a beard can be quite a lot of work. You have to take time to trim it regularly and keep it in shape. Laser facial hair reduction may help define the beard line and reduce unwanted hairs. Results vary, and ongoing grooming may still be needed.

What to expect?

Procedure time, discomfort and recovery vary between individuals. Follow your treating clinician's advice on resuming normal activities and exercise. Redness and sensitivity may occur after treatment. The degree and timing of hair reduction vary, and a course of treatments may be recommended depending on the area, skin tone, and the thickness of your hair. Maintenance treatments may be needed. Results cannot be guaranteed.

Are you a candidate?

Laser beard shaping targets pigment in the hair. Hair colour alone does not determine suitability; your clinician will assess your skin tone, hair characteristics and medical history before recommending treatment.

Pretreatment care:

• Avoid any hair removal treatments other than shaving at least 2 weeks before treatment.
• Avoid sun exposure prior to the treatment.
• It is important to discuss any medications you are currently taking with your doctor to be on the safer side.

Aftercare:

• Sun exposure, baths and hot showers should be avoided after the treatment.
• Any rigorous exercise or swimming should also be avoided due risk of potential irritations.
