Men’s Hair Removal in Tokyo

Aiming for silky-smooth skin beyond ordinary care?

Men worldwide are choosing sleek, low-maintenance grooming. In Tokyo, demand for hair removal for men has grown quickly, thanks to precise devices and patient oriented service. If you are searching for a trusted medical spa while living in or visiting the city, this blog explains options, safety, pricing, and how to book smoothly.

First of all, What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal helps to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair. It eliminates the need for repetitive shaving or plucking, thus reducing skin stress.

There are two main types of hair removal: Laser Hair Removal at aesthetic clinics and esthetic hair removal at salons. The differences are as follows:

  • Salon Hair RemovalPractitioner : Estheticians at salonsMechanism : Damages the hair rootEffect : Hair growth suppression
  • Clinic Laser Hair RemovalPractitioner : Licensed doctors or nursesMechanism : Destroys the hair rootEffect : Hair removal

Laser Hair Removal at clinics uses lasers that react with melanin in the hair to destroy hair roots and reduce regrowth.

There are two types of medical laser devices: thermal destruction and accumulated heat. BIANCA CLINIC uses the GentleLase Pro. (The Ginza branch uses “GentleLASE mini” instead.) and we offer the treatment both at Ginza and Omotesando branches.

Why Men Choose Hair Removal 

Areas and Goals for Men

Especially on the face, removing unwanted hair through hair removal can lead to pleasant changes: reduced dark spots and dullness, easier maintenance of clean skin.

Laser vs. Shaving

Shaving is quick but can cause daily stubble and nicks. Laser at a medical spa aims for long-term reduction by disabling follicles over several sessions, offering smoother skin with less maintenance over time.

Technology That Respects Your Skin

Modern platforms combine cooling tips with adjustable wavelengths. In simple terms, different wavelengths reach different depths, so your specialist can target beard follicles without overheating the surface.

Is it painful?

Although thermal destruction lasers are effective against thick hair, they can also cause more pain. However, the medical devices used at our clinic feature cooling systems, allowing for pain-conscious Laser Hair Removal treatment. Immediately before laser emission, a -20°C to -26°C cooling gas is sprayed to minimize pain and thermal damage.

For those worried about pain, optional surface anesthesia or nitrous oxide sedation is also available (additional fees apply).

We also offer aftercare options like “MESONA-J” and “Target Cool” to soothe the skin post-treatment.

 

Skin Head Program

For a clean, even, and well-groomed shaved head.

A shaved head is a style where the texture of the scalp directly defines your overall impression. That’s why even slight unevenness, bluish shadow, or roughness can become noticeable.

Medical laser hair removal for the shaved head is a treatment designed to target the scalp with laser energy to reduce hair growth over time. It carefully addresses areas that are difficult to manage with self-shaving, including the hairline and temporal regions.

The goal is a smooth finish you can feel confident about, even up close.

“I want to reduce daily shaving.” “I want to minimize the bluish tone and prickly stubble.” This treatment is increasingly chosen by those who want to maintain a clean, refined scalp appearance as part of their grooming routine.

What to Expect at BIANCA Clinic

Before your visit

Please shave the treatment area at home the day before or on the day of your appointment. If shaving is performed at our clinic on the day of your appointment, an additional shaving fee will apply.

Counseling

We will check the treatment area for any abnormalities and determine if it is suitable for treatment. If you have any other concerns about treatments, please feel free to consult with us.

Treatment

We will apply the laser while checking hair texture and skin condition. You will feel a rubber band snap sensation. If the pain is too intense, please let us know. Treatment time is approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour for the face, 30 minutes for the underarms. If you request topical anesthesia, please allow an additional 30 minutes.

After the treatment

To reduce inflammation, cool the treated area. Ensure adequate sun protection and moisturizing care for the treated area.
If redness persists after treatment, we can prescribe an ointment. If you are prone to skin irritation or acne from laser treatments, please inform us beforehand.

 

Timeline and Results

Many men notice shedding in 1–3 weeks after a session. A full plan often includes 6–10 visits, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, with smoother skin and lighter regrowth over time. A documented Before & After plan helps you see steady progress and keeps expectations grounded.
