For too long, laser hair removal has been seen as the domain of women advertising smooth legs, underarms, and pre-holiday prep. But beneath that gendered marketing is a truth the industry is only just starting to acknowledge men want laser hair removal too and not just a few. A lot.
So why, in 2025, is there still hesitation among men when it comes to laser hair removal? Is it society’s rigid expectations of masculinity, is the industry failing to speak directly to male consumers or is it simply that nobody has told them the truth, that laser is for them too.
Let’s explore the cultural pressures, practical reasons men are getting laser, and how The Laser Club is leading the charge in making hair removal inclusive, effective, and stigma-free.
Let’s face it, body hair has long been tangled up in outdated ideas about manhood. The message has been clear: “real men” are supposed to be hairy, rugged, and unbothered by grooming.
But here’s the reality:
- A man with back hair might feel self-conscious taking his shirt off.
- A man who shaves daily might struggle with razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
- A man with thick body hair might feel uncomfortable in summer clothes or in the gym.
Yet many hesitate to seek solutions because grooming is still often portrayed as “not masculine.” This is toxic masculinity in action and it’s costing men their comfort, confidence, and choices.
Despite the social stigma, more and more men are turning to laser hair removal. At The Laser Club, we’ve seen this shift up close and it’s accelerating.

Our male clients range from young professionals to athletes, from first timers to laser veterans. They come in for everything from a neatened beard line, full Hollywood treatments, to full-body laser sessions. And they all have one thing in common: they’re over the hassle of constant shaving, the discomfort of waxing, and the mental toll of feeling like their body hair is too much.
Here are just a few reasons men choose laser:
- Ingrown hairs, razor burn, and skin irritation
- Better hygiene and reduced sweat in key areas
- More definition for tattoos and muscle tone
- Scalp laser to complement bald styles
- Smoother skin for athletic performance
- Gender-affirming treatments for trans and non-binary clients
- Simply wanting to feel better in your own body
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
So, if the demand is there, why aren’t more men openly embracing laser?
The truth is, the industry hasn’t made it easy. A quick scan of most laser clinic websites still reveals, pink branding stock photos of only women, and language that is targeted toward “her” beauty goals. This combined creates a silent exclusion, where men feel unsure whether laser is really for them or if they’ll be judged for asking. At The Laser Club, we think it’s time to break that silence.
At The Laser Club, we’ve built something different. We’re not just another clinic offering cookie-cutter beauty services. We’re have a network of gender-inclusive laser clinics, welcoming absolutely everyone men, women, trans, non-binary, and anyone else who wants to feel more confident in their own skin.
