Why Laser Hair Removal for Men is a Rising Trend
We’ve noticed a significant shift in our customer base at Wellaholic over the past few years. More and more men are coming to us for laser hair removal treatments. This trend isn’t just happening in Singapore – it’s a global phenomenon.

We’ve seen customers who want to define their beard lines or get rid of back hair. Whatever the reason, laser hair removal offers a long-lasting solution. It’s quicker and less painful than traditional methods like waxing or shaving. Plus, it saves time and money in the long run. At Wellaholic, we’re excited to be part of this growing trend in men’s grooming.

Understanding Laser Hair Removal
We at Wellaholic have seen laser hair removal grow in popularity over the years. It’s a great way to get rid of unwanted hair for longer periods than shaving or waxing. Let’s break down how it works.
Laser hair removal uses a beam of light to target hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which heats up and damages the follicle. This slows down or stops future hair growth. We’ve noticed that it works best on dark hair against light skin, but newer technologies have made it possible for people with different skin tones to benefit too. At Wellaholic, we always do a patch test first to make sure the treatment is safe and effective for each customer’s unique skin and hair type.
| Dos | Don’ts |
|---|---|
| Shave or trim the hair to be treated the day before your appointment. | Don’t use self-tanners or bronzers before your treatment. |
| Avoid tanning or sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after your treatment. | Don’t wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least two weeks before your treatment. |
| Cleanse the treatment area with a mild soap and water. | Don’t exfoliate the treatment area for at least two days before your treatment. |
| Arrive at your appointment on time and with clean, dry skin. | Don’t apply fragrances, lotions, or makeup to the treatment area on the day of your appointment. |
| Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. | Don’t wear tight-fitting clothing after your treatment. |
| Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, including herbal supplements. | Don’t scratch or pick at the treated area. |
| Discuss your expectations and concerns with your doctor. | Don’t expose the treated area to direct sunlight for at least two weeks after your treatment. |
Do: Choose a Qualified Specialist for Laser Hair Removal
We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic who were hesitant about laser hair removal. They often ask us how to pick the right specialist. Our advice is simple: look for someone with proper training and credentials.
A qualified laser hair removal technician should have completed a recognized training program. In Singapore, this usually means a diploma or certificate in aesthetics. We also recommend choosing someone with experience using different types of lasers. At Wellaholic, all our technicians undergo rigorous training before working with customers. This ensures they can handle various skin types and hair colors safely and effectively. Don’t be shy about asking your potential technician about their qualifications and experience. A good specialist will be happy to share this information with you.
Don’t: Neglect a Consultation
We’ve seen it time and time again at Wellaholic. Customers rush into treatments without a proper consultation. This can lead to disappointing results or even harm. That’s why we always start with a thorough chat. We ask about goals, concerns, and medical history. This helps us create a plan that’s safe and effective.
Our consultations go beyond skin-deep. We look at lifestyle factors too. Diet, stress levels, and sleep habits all play a role in skin health. By taking a holistic approach, we can offer better advice and more tailored treatments. It’s not just about quick fixes. We aim to help our customers achieve lasting results they’ll love.
Do: Prepare for Your Hair Removal Session
We at Wellaholic know how important it is to get ready for your laser hair removal session. Our customers often ask us what they should do before coming in. Here’s what we tell them:
Shave the area you want treated about 24 hours before your appointment. This helps the laser target the hair follicles better. Clean your skin well, but don’t use any lotions or creams on the day of treatment. Wear loose, comfy clothes to your session. If you’re getting laser on your face, skip the makeup that day. These simple steps can make a big difference in how well the treatment works. We’ve seen great results when our customers follow this advice.
Don’t: Use Other Hair Removal Methods Before the Laser Hair Removal Session
We’ve seen it all at Wellaholic. Many customers come to us after trying various hair removal methods, hoping for a permanent solution. But here’s the thing: using other hair removal techniques before your laser session can mess up the results.
Shaving is okay, but waxing, plucking, or using hair removal creams? Big no-no. These methods remove the hair from the root, which is what the laser needs to target. We always tell our customers to let their hair grow for a few weeks before their appointment. It might feel a bit weird, but trust us, it’s worth it for the best results. We’ve had customers who didn’t follow this advice, and their treatments weren’t as effective. So, stick to shaving if you must, and leave the rest to us!
Do: Follow Aftercare Instructions
We’ve seen it time and time again at Wellaholic. Customers come in for a treatment, love the results, but then forget to follow the aftercare instructions. It’s like baking a cake and forgetting to let it cool before frosting – you’re missing out on the best part!
Aftercare is key to getting the most out of your treatments. We always make sure to give clear, easy-to-follow instructions. For example, after a facial, we tell our customers to avoid hot showers and sun exposure for 24 hours. It’s simple stuff, but it makes a big difference. When people follow these tips, they see better and longer-lasting results. So remember, the treatment doesn’t end when you leave our salon. It’s a team effort between us and you!
Average Hair Reduction of up to 70%: According to a study by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and compiled by Wellaholic Research, SHR hair removal can achieve an average hair reduction of up to 70% after six sessions.
Don’t: Expect Instant Results
We at Wellaholic understand the excitement that comes with starting a new beauty treatment. Our customers often ask us when they’ll see results. The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Every person’s body reacts differently to treatments.
We always tell our customers at Wellaholic to be patient. Some might see changes in a few weeks, while others may need a few months. What matters most is sticking to the treatment plan. We’ve seen amazing transformations over time. The key is to trust the process and keep at it. Remember, lasting results take time, but they’re worth the wait.
