Essentially male, the laser hair removal on the back is more and more practiced. Blame the canons of beauty that have changed slightly in recent years. Hairiness is a sign of virility when it is not excessive in middle-aged men. In contrast, in young men, a body without hair is considered much more attractive. Because of the inaccessibility of the area to razor or wax, men are turning more and more towards laser hair removal on the back.
Laser back hair removal: the technique
Laser hair removal on the back is a technique to gradually destroy the hair.
Today, all phototypes can be treated, from light skin to dark skin although the hairs must be brown or black. To be effective, the laser beam needs the melanin contained in the hair. It is the melanin which thus makes it possible to transform the energy of the laser into heat in order to destroy the hair. When it contains little or no melanin, as it is the case with red hairs, blond very light, white or grey, laser hair removal is not effective.
In humans, the back is an area that can be extremely hairy. The hairs on the back do not have the same characteristics according to their location:
- Upper back: they are pigmented and thick
- Lower back and sides: they are clear and thin
In all cases, the doctor must avoid the areas of fine hair to avoid stimulation. It is possible to remove the hair on the back completely or only a part such as the shoulders or the lower back.
Laser back hair removal: the session
The number of sessions for the back vary depending on the extent of the area. In general, it will take between 6 and 8 sessions for permanent hair removal. Each session lasts between 40 to 60 minutes and should be spaced about 6 weeks apart until the regrowth is visible
Before a session, a first consultation is necessary so that your doctor can examine your hair and your skin in order to adapt the intensity of the laser. They also questions you about your ancestry and can detect possible contraindications.
On the day of the procedure, the doctor re-examines you to make the last adjustment of the device and to check that the area has been shaved.
The practitioner and you must wear protective glasses. Aber setting the device, the doctor conducts a test on a small area of your body.
He then proceeds to scan the area using the laser equipped with a cryogenic system that allows to calm the pain by the diffusion of a cold liquid.
At the end of your session, the practitioner applies a moisturizer on your skin to calm redness, pain and itching.
Laser back hair removal: the results
The first results of laser hair removal are visible after a few weeks. The hairs will then fall off and throughout the sessions the regrowth will be more and more slow and the hair becomes more and more thin.

Laser depilation of the back before and after
Between sessions, the patient can shave the treated area. On the other hand, they must avoid any waxing, electric razors or tweezers. If the patient misses one of their hair removal sessions, the final result may be delayed, but they will not lose the benefits of the previous sessions.
At the end of the treatment, approximately 90% of the patient's hair does not grow back. However, small regrowth can be observed and a maintenance session will be scheduled every year to maintain the benefits of hair removal.
It should be noted that in most cases, laser hair removal on the back gives very satisfactory results to the patient.
