Laser hair removal is a popular treatment for all genders and adults of all ages. Learn about the most common areas people choose to treat, the reasons behind their choices, and what your clients can expect. after you attend laser hair removal school.
The Top Six Areas
1. Brazilian Laser Hair Removal
The Brazilian area is one of the most popular regions for laser hair removal. This treatment removes all or most of the hair from the pubic region, providing long-lasting smoothness. The convenience and confidence it offers make it a top choice.
2. Underarm Laser Hair Removal
Underarms are another common area for laser hair removal. This treatment is quick and effective, often completed in just a few minutes. It provides lasting smoothness, reducing the need for frequent shaving and minimizing skin irritation.
3. Face Laser Hair Removal
Facial hair removal, particularly on the upper lip, chin, and sideburns, is highly popular. Clients appreciate the precision and long-term results, which help them maintain a smooth and hair-free appearance.
4. Legs Laser Hair Removal
Clients often seek laser hair removal on their legs to achieve long-lasting smoothness, especially during summer when they wear shorts and dresses more frequently. This treatment eliminates the need for daily shaving (it saves SO much time!), reducing skin irritation and ingrown hairs. With laser hair removal, your clients can confidently enjoy silky-smooth legs with minimal maintenance.
5. Arms Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal on the arms helps clients achieve a polished look, which is especially desirable for those who do not enjoy the look of particularly visible or abundant arm hair. It reduces the hassle of frequent shaving or waxing, offering a more permanent solution. This treatment also minimizes skin irritation and the appearance of dark hair follicles, providing a smoother and more even-toned look to the skin.
6. Back Laser Hair Removal
People of all genders have different amounts of hair on their backs. For many, seeking laser hair removal is a way to feel more comfortable and confident in their skin. For clients who feel more empowered with smooth backs, this allows them to confidently wear backless outfits and swimwear.
Backs are almost impossible to completely self-shave regularly, and short-term solutions such as waxing and sugaring are time consuming. Laser hair removal on the back provides a long-term solution, ensuring smooth and hair-free skin with minimal effort.
Laser Hair Removal for Men: Growing in Popularity
Men are increasingly seeking laser hair removal treatments. The top three most popular areas for men include:
1. Back Laser Hair Removal
Men often choose to remove hair from their back. This large area can be difficult to maintain through shaving or waxing, making laser hair removal an ideal solution.
2. Chest Laser Hair Removal
Chest hair removal is popular among men looking for a cleaner and more defined appearance. Laser treatments provide long-lasting results and eliminate the need for regular maintenance.
3. Beard Laser Hair Removal
Some men naturally have patchy or unevenly distributed facial hair that they choose not to grow out. Laser hair removal allows them to enjoy less maintenance, razor irritation, cuts, and ingrown hairs from shaving.
Other men opt for laser hair removal to create a well-defined beard line. This treatment helps maintain a neat and consistent appearance with minimal effort.
How many sessions of laser do you need?
To achieve optimal results, laser hair removal typically requires 6-8 sessions.
The reason for this lies in the hair growth cycle. Hair follicles go through different stages: growth, rest, and shedding.
Laser treatments target hair in the growth stage, but not all hairs are in this stage simultaneously. Multiple sessions ensure that all hair follicles are effectively treated during their growth phase.
Learn all about the growth cycles of hair follicles in your laser hair removal course in beauty school.
Laser Hair Removal: The Life-Changing Time Saver
Saving Money
Given the long-lasting effects of laser hair removal, your clients save both time and money in the long run.
The average person spends about $300 annually on budget shaving supplies, and more on name-brand products. Prices have likely increased since 2021.
People who opt for waxing or sugaring services spend around $1000/year. Many of these clients also shave at home, bringing their annual hair removal costs to, at minimum, $1300.
Over five years, this amounts to (at the very least) $1500 on shaving supplies and $5000 on waxing or sugaring. Combining both methods can total $6500 spent on temporary hair removal every five years.
Saving Time
Then, let’s factor in time. A complete laser hair removal treatment plan lasts for approximately 6-8 sessions (about one a month) of 30-60 minutes each.
That’s a total commitment of 3-8 hours for very long-lasting hair removal!
After that, some people come in for about 1 maintenance session a year (30-60 minutes) to maintain results.
In contrast, the average person spends 17-52 hours a year just shaving legs…and that’s if they only shave twice a week! People spend 18-60 hours a year shaving their face and 10-22 hours a year shaving underarms.
Compared to a 3-8 hour commitment to long-lasting hair removal…you do the math!
No wonder this service is in high demand.
The Efficiency of Laser Hair Removal
Once clients experience the quick and efficient results of laser hair removal in one area, they often return to treat additional areas. For example:
- A client who sees excellent results with underarm treatments may decide to treat their legs next.
- Someone who starts with facial hair removal might realize how tolerable it is in such a sensitive area and later opt for a Brazilian treatment.
