We take a look at the best pain-free laser and IPL options for treating men

Fibra DFA

The Fibra DFA is a hairremoval device from The Baldan Group that can be used to treat every skin type. The laser light is emitted from the machine rather than the handpiece, meaning the heat on application is eliminated, equaling a “totally painless”treatment, according to the brand. Perfect for using on men’s sensitfive areas, the light produced by the multiple diodes is concentrated in one pulse and transferred uniformly and directly to the hair, ensuring the treatment is quick and eficient.

Triology Ice

An attractfive option for sporty men, the Triology Ice from 3D-lipo is suitable for treating all hair types year round – even in summer. Launched in 2018, the device combines the proven benefits of three wavelengths in a single handpiece. Rather than exposing the hair follicle to single energy pulses, the Triology Ice works by gradually heating the dermis and damaging the hair follicles without injuring the surrounding tissue. The applicator is moved over the treatment area quickly, while the cooling system ensures that the treatment is comfortable.

Skin Pulse SHR

Great for busy men, the Cosmedico Skin Pulse SHR uses rapid pulses of selected wavelengths of light at low energy with a gentle, incremental heating process to improve comfort, while the skin is cooled to -4ºC. The SHR handpiece, with its “slide and glide”application over the body ensures that treatment times are reduced by up to 66%. Cosmedico says the system is suitable for use on Asian and black skins.

LightSheer Desire

The Lumenis LightSheer Desire is ideal for sensitfive skin. Two technologies work in tandem: vacuumassisted, high-speed integrated technology and Lumenis’s ChillTip cooling system. ChillTip offers epidermal protection during laser treatment and also increases eficacy and patient comfort as it takes heat away from the area being treated. The device has three handpieces to treat any body area, including the back and chest.

Thunder MT

A blended alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser device, the Thunder MT offers 755nm and 1064nm wavelengths in both a single or combined emission. The technology is suitable for men of all skin types and ethnicities, while the handpiece’s spot shape has been designed for minimal overlapping, covering a skin area similar to a square spot and bigger than a round spot. Distributor Advanced Esthetics Solutions says it’s possible to complete a full body treatment in one hour – great for guys on the go.

Diolaze

The Diolaze’s large treatment spot size means hair-removal sessions can be performed quickly and easily on men’s backs and chests. The device has a large built-in skin-cooling surface for optimum client comfort, and the machine can be used on most areas of the body. The diode pulse guide scanner and high pulse repetition rate at all energy levels ensure a reduction in treatment time. The machine is powerful enough to target and treat stubborn hair and skin types up to VI on the Fitzpatrick scale, says the manufacturer.

Motus AY

The Motus AY uses a true alexandrite laser, employing Lynton’s specialist Moveo “pain-free”technology that can be used on all skin types including tanned, not just the traditional Fitzpatrick I to III. The Motus AY concentrates laser energy through a 20mm contact-cooled sapphire tip with ultra-short pulse durations – suitable for treating more challenging fine and fair hair.
