Can a man that shaves his head have laser hair removal?

We perform laser hair removal on the scalp in men and women who desire a hairless scalp. Men and women who have alopecia and hair loss may benefit from the procedure, as it can reduce the need for daily shaving. If you are planning scalp pigmentation or have recurrent folliculitis, these treatments may be essential.

Best,
