Sideburns — men’s laser hair removal in Tartu

For men, sideburns are part of the beard and the haircut, so the aim is almost never to remove everything: the laser clears whatever falls outside the chosen line — a blurred lower edge, hair creeping onto the cheekbone, the transition to the cheek. The hair here is coarse and dark, with plenty of pigment for the diode laser and a strong response; the power needed is higher than on the female area.

This area suits men who wear a beard or sideburns of a particular shape and are tired of tidying the edge with a trimmer every other day. Another common reason is ingrown hairs and irritation on the cheekbone after shaving. If the upper beard line on the cheek needs clearing too, sideburns are booked together with the cheeks.

The marking matters more than the session itself: the specialist draws the line with you and checks that both sides are symmetrical. It is drawn before the session, not during it: once the hair along the border has thinned, the line cannot be moved back. The strip is then covered with short passes while the neighbouring area is shielded; the eye is close by, so you wear protective goggles. The area is treated as a course with an interval of 4–8 weeks, because each visit reaches only hair in the active growth phase. Male hair is thicker and sits deeper than female hair, so more visits are usually needed; the specialist will give you the exact number after the assessment.

Preparation: shave the area the day before or on the day of your visit, avoid waxing and tweezers for 2–4 weeks beforehand, and come with clean skin — no beard oil, aftershave balm or fragrance on the area. And 2–4 weeks without strong sun and sunbeds: the line will not be treated on tanned skin.
