Laser hair removal for men (Clarity) — WOOA Plastic Surgery
Laser hair removal for men reduces hair in chosen areas such as the beard (upper lip, chin), neck and underarms using a laser. The WOOA dermatology website mentions cases where shaving is bothersome or causes skin irritation such as folliculitis. The WOOA dermatology website says it uses the 755 nm Clarity laser and describes this as laser hair removal that selectively destroys hair follicles by targeting dark melanin pigment. Procedure time listed by the clinic: from 10 minutes. The clinic indicates about 5–10 sessions, though the number may vary by area (varies by individual). Please confirm the interval at consultation. Treatment areas listed by the clinic: hairline, around the mouth (upper lip, chin), underarms, hands and feet (the clinic page also mentions the neck and full face). This summary is based on an older image page of the WOOA dermatology website; please confirm the devices and options currently used at consultation.

Who this is for
- Those who find shaving bothersome or have repeated irritation or folliculitis after shaving
- Those who want to reduce beard hair (upper lip, chin) or neck hair
- Those who want to discuss the number of sessions and approach for each area
How it is done
The Clarity laser selectively destroys hair follicles by having laser energy absorbed by the dark melanin pigment in hair. The clinic states that the skin surface is cooled with a cooling system before hair removal, that even large areas can be treated in a relatively short time, and that it is done without anesthesia. The degree of discomfort varies by area and individual.
Recovery timeline
The clinic states that daily activities are possible after treatment. The treated area may become temporarily red or the skin around follicles may swell; how long this takes to settle varies by individual. Ask at your visit about precautions around the time of treatment, such as sun exposure and how to shave.
Risks and side effects
- Temporary redness, swelling around follicles, warmth and stinging may occur in the treated area.
- Rarely, blisters, burns, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation may occur; tanned skin may carry a higher risk.
- Fine or light-coloured hair may respond less to the laser, and the number of sessions and results depend on the area and hair condition.
- Results, recovery speed and the number of sessions needed vary with skin condition, and suitability is decided at consultation and examination.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
