Hair Removal for Men

Welcome to Olakino Laser + Skin, your gateway to newfound confidence through Laser Hair Removal for Men in Victoria!

At Olakino Laser + Skin, we understand that grooming is not just a choice but a path to self-assurance. Whether it’s the masterful shaping of an unruly uni-brow or the liberation from unwanted ear, back, or chest hair, we’re your go-to destination. Discover the art of looking and feeling your best, exclusively with Olakino Laser + Skin, the premier choice for male removal in Victoria.

We believe men should never have to hide their confidence, even on a scorching 90-degree day at the beach or on the water. We understand the discomfort and self-consciousness that come with hairy backs, chests, necks irritated by shaving, and the unsightly issues of razor bumps, itchy patches, and stubborn ingrown hairs, which can lead to embarrassing red papules and pustules. Worse yet, these conditions can become chronic and infected, potentially causing permanent scarring. Let Olakino Laser + Skin liberate you from these concerns and empower you to step into the world with unshakable self-assurance!

We are here to change the narrative on male grooming. While many men traditionally consider hair removal in the spring, we’ve got a different strategy. The cooler, crisper months of fall and winter are your secret allies. Why? Because sun avoidance is crucial during treatment.

By beginning your hair removal journey in the fall, you’re setting yourself up for a smooth, confident, and hair-free summer. Trust Olakino to help you make the most of every season, starting with the perfect winter groundwork.

Hormones orchestrate the process of hair growth in men and wield considerable influence over the intricacies of hair removal techniques.

Understanding hair removal for men is like deciphering a straightforward story driven by testosterone. For instance, a man in his twenties with higher testosterone levels may require more sessions compared to a man in his forties. Consistent maintenance visits are also essential for long-lasting results.

My wife got me a hydrafacial for my 40th birthday. I didn’t know what to expect since this was my first time doing any sort of skin care services. Let me tell you, my skin has never felt so good! Now I’m so young looking everyone calls me Benjamin Button 😂. Highly recommend if you’re looking for excellent skin care in Victoria.

I had a great hydrofacial at this clinic! I hadn’t had any skin treatments in years and my face was very much in need of some care and exfoliating. The office itself is quiet, clean, and cozy and the staff were kind and knowledgeable. The whole service was gentle, professional, and thorough. Highly recommend doing the lymphatic drainage as well with that service. Was a great reset for my skin.

I have been a client here since 2021. I have done electrolysis with Ana (she's amazing), laser hair removal and today I tried the laser facial with Felipee and am very happy with that as well. All the staff are so friendly and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend Olakino to anyone.

I had laser hair reduction on my lip and chin with Olakino and it was a great experience. They use an excellent laser with no need for topical numbing cream. The laser has a cool air jet which helps to soothe the skin. They offer packages but also pay as you go if you aren’t sure how many sessions you will require. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Had laser on my face a decade ago and it came back so I booked with Félipée for laser. The laser they use is SO good. It has a fan that blows air while its zapping so it’s constantly cooling the skin. She’s so chill and professional, and after literally ONE session i dont need to shave anymore. Will be continuing obvs so it doesn’t come back, but HIGHLY recommend Olakino.
