Most men are more concerned with holding on to hair than with hair removal. But sometimes, men’s hair growth is unruly or uncomfortable. Some men experience issues with back hair, which makes their clothing uncomfortable; others want laser hair removal for sports like swimming.
Whatever the reason, laser hair removal for men is the most efficient form of hair removal. You don’t want the added task of shaving or waxing because the results don’t last long, and you have to deal with constant maintenance.
Most types of hair removal – including hair removal creams and shaving – only affect hair at the surface. While the hair may be gone, you may still have to deal with rashes, ingrown hairs, and other hair removal irritations; the results of waxing and plucking may last longer, but treatments are painful and time-consuming.
Laser hair removal is the best hair removal treatment on the market. The state-of-art laser hair removal technology at Stadia Med Spa can permanently remove hair from the face and body, giving you confidence for a lifetime.
At Stadia Med Spa in San Antonio, TX, laser hair removal for men is simple and easy. The investment will save you time, money, and a lifetime with a razor.

Before you get laser hair removal, you should know that not all hair removal lasers are made the same. The Clarity II laser used at Stadia Med Spa is powerful and works on any skin tone or type. They are safe for use on most areas of the body, from your feet to your face.
Laser hair removal is easily the most common cosmetic treatment. Men can get rid of unwanted body hair from any area of the body – from a small patch of hair on the face to a back full of hair. Most men use laser hair removal on the back, chest, belly, legs, face, and underarms.
The procedure is straightforward and safe. During laser hair removal, an intense beam of light selectively destroys the hair follicles by targeting the hair melanin or color pigments. The laser destroys the root and stops blood flow to the hair follicle base.
Laser hair removal may be an investment – but the results are permanent. If the goal is to reduce hair growth with minimal maintenance, laser hair removal is the ideal choice.
The benefits of laser hair removal include more than safe and easy hair removal. Men who do sports can permanently thin out or remove body hair. Many men have a lot of hair on their backs or chests, which makes it uncomfortable to wear tight shirts. Laser hair removal can help men feel more comfortable in their bodies and boost confidence when they go shirtless!
Other forms of hair removal – like shaving and waxing – can irritate your skin. You could end up with stubble, irritation, ingrown hairs, and bumps instead of hairless skin.
Laser hair removal is the lowest maintenance form of hair removal. The laser reduces hair growth, so results last longer than shaving, waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams.

Before, During & After
Stadia Med Spa offers a free consultation before your laser hair removal treatment. The consultation is an ideal time to ask questions about the procedure and learn more about the results from our experienced medical spa professionals.
Before laser hair removal, men should avoid sun exposure for up to four weeks. Shave the treatment area within 24 hours and avoid any skin care products on the day of your treatment.
If you use any forms of hair removal – like waxing, tweezing, epilates, or chemical depilatories – do not use them for two weeks before treatment – these hair removal options remove hair at the root, which could interfere with your laser hair removal results.
The average laser hair removal procedure lasts 30 minutes. The laser will cause a hot pricking sensation in the treatment area. As the heat hits the hair root, the cooling system inside the laser is activated.
The temperature of the cold air is adjustable, and your Stadia Med Spa provider can change the temperature to make you more comfortable. Bring your entertainment – headphones or a book – to pass the time during your treatment.
Laser hair removal has very few side effects or risks. The procedure is one of the most common at Stadia Med Spa, and their 17 years of experience make it even safer.
Many men may have redness and bumps in reaction to the laser. Any side effects should fade within a few days of your treatment. Apply Aloe Vera to cool and soothe irritated skin and plan to stay out of the sun for at least a week.
Laser hair removal damages hair at the root, and it takes time for the hair to fall out. Expect visible results between 7 and 21 days after treatment. Don’t apply lotion, cleansers, or moisturizers for 24 hours, and don’t pluck, tweeze, or wax the area.
Laser hair removal is the most effective form of hair removal for men. A laser damages hair follicles at the root, which can thin out hair and keep it from growing back. Stadia Med Spa uses Alexandrite and Nd Yag lasers for laser hair removal. Men can remove hair from the chest, back, legs, arms, and face in a single 30-minute treatment.
Laser hair removal is suitable for men of any age or skin type. Men with lighter skin and darker hair will get the best results since laser hair removal targets melanin (hair color pigment). If you have raised (keloid) scars, you should not have laser hair removal in that area.
Advise your Stadia Med Spa provider if you take any medications, prescriptions, and herbal supplements. Acne medications and other prescriptions may affect laser hair removal results.
You should see results from your laser hair removal within 7 to 21 days. Hair that is damaged at the root will take time to fall out. You can speed up the process by rubbing the area gently after a week.
Laser hair removal side effects and risks are minimal. Bumps, irritation, change in skin pigment, and redness are the most common reactions to the laser but should appear in a few days.
More severe reactions can result in burning, scarring, and discoloration. Stadia Med Spa has over 17 years of experience with laser hair removal. Over that time, they’ve conducted thousands of hair removal treatments. They work hard to make your procedure safe and comfortable.
The results from laser hair removal last longer than shaving, waxing, and chemical depilatories. Many patients see results that last for months or years. If the hair grows back, it will be lighter and thinner.
Many men need between 2 and 6 laser hair removal treatments to see their ideal results.
The cost of laser hair removal can vary depending on your treatment area. A smaller area – like the arms – may cost between $200 and $400. Larger surface areas like full legs might cost $400. Contact Stadia Med Spa for a free consultation to get a more accurate estimate of the treatment cost.
Laser hair removal can be uncomfortable, but it isn’t painful. Most people say that it’s less painful than waxing. The sensation is often described as quick little snaps to the skin.
The legs are typically less painful than the face or armpits. Some areas of the body have higher pain tolerance, and some people are less responsive to pain. A topical anesthetic is available upon request.
Some hair may grow back, but other hair follicles will be permanently damaged. The hair from damaged follicles won’t grow back.
If hair does grow back, it will be thinner and lighter in color. Stadia MedSpa offers a guarantee for laser hair removal. Their 17 years of experience and skilled medical professionals want to ensure you get the results you desire.
Yes! Laser hair removal is an FDA-approved laser treatment. Most patients can return to their lives directly following treatment with little to no time for recovery. Stadia Med Spa updated its lasers to the newest versions in 2018.
Compared to other hair removal methods, laser hair removal for men is efficient and effective. Many men have successfully eliminated unwanted hair from their chests, back, arms, legs, and faces. The lack of side effects and permanent hair loss results make it the obvious choice for anyone who wants a low-maintenance hair removal routine and confidence for a lifetime.
