Laser hair removal back / shoulders

The choice of men to have the hair on their back and/or shoulders removed through lasering comes from various reasons. A smooth back is often considered attractive, making aesthetic considerations play a prominent role. Removal of hair in these areas also contributes to increased confidence, as it provides a groomed appearance that aligns with personal preferences or societal norms. Hygiene serves as another motivation, with some men experiencing less discomfort or sweating without back / shoulder hair. For participants in certain sports, it is practical due to reduced water resistance.

Our advanced Cocoon laser utilizes a powerful beam of light that precisely targets hair follicles, resulting in long-lasting smoothness when laser hair removal is performed on the back and/or shoulders from a medical perspective. The laser emits a precise wavelength that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles. This absorbed energy is converted into heat, targeting the hair follicles for damage while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin.

1. Preparation: You don't need to shave the hair on your back and/or shoulders at home. We understand that this difficult area to reach yourself. We will remove all the hair for you once you arrive in our clinic. After we removed the hair, we apply a cooling gel to the skin, which improves the conduction and distribution of laser energy over the treated area. The gel is absorbed by the hair follicles, therefor also increasing the efficiency of the treatment. The cooling gel also has a cooling effect, making the treatment more comfortable and reducing the build-up of heat in the skin, which minimizes any discomfort caused by the laser heat.

2. Application of the laser: Our specialist uses the handheld Cocoon laser device, projecting the laser beam precisely over the intended area of the back and/or shoulders. The laser is carefully calibrated to target the melanin in the hair follicles, minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Simultaneously, the skin is cooled to prevent potential discomfort.

3. Session repetition: To achieve optimal results with laser hair removal, multiple sessions are typically required, often spread over several weeks. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase, also known as the anagen phase. Undergoing multiple sessions ensures that a greater number of hair follicles are targeted during their active growth phase.

Na het ondergaan van laserontharing is het ook belangrijk om gedurende ongeveer twee weken blootstelling aan de zon te vermijden. Dit geeft je behandelde huid de kans om te genezen en vermindert tevens het risico op hyperpigmentatie of andere problemen. Onthoud dat zelfs als je huid er niet gebruind uitziet, deze nog steeds kan worden blootgesteld aan UV-stralen. Probeer dit in deze periode te vermijden. Je kan dit doen door in elk geval een t-shirt te dragen bijvoorbeeld.
