Pioneers in pubic hair removal
At Man Thing Rockhampton, the removal of men's pubic hair, a.k.a. the Manzilian IPL - isn't just an add-on service - It's the very core of my business.
I pioneered men's hair removal in Queensland at a time when noone would touch it.
25+ years on, nobody knows male pubic hair like me, nor comes close to my degree of experience in eradicating it.
Points of difference
- Man Thing is male-owned, male-operated, and male-focused.
- Unlike laser, IPL is virtually painless - No numbing cream required.
- TGA listed equipment with extremely high energy output.
- Credit cards are welcome - No add on fees.
- No 'buy 10' schemes - I achieve results. I don't need to trap you into coming back.
- No fast-flashing SHR - I don't use low-powered machines to pump clients through fast.
- Real results & no 🐮💩 - We'll see a strong result from the first treatment, or we stop.
Quality and experience
The Rockhampton studio is now in its 15th year of operation.
Prior to that, I owned twelve Reef Beauty and Body Sync stores throughout Southeast Queensland, where I trained and managed my team of over 20 hair removal technicians.
All of that experience is reflected in the FAQ section below, along with my prices and specials.
Call me on 4926 7778 or 0422 276 202 if you have any questions or to make a booking. You can also book online.
Have a brilliant day,
Andrew Thompson.
Styles ★ IPL Pubic Hair Removal

Meanwhile, here are some popular styles of male bikini and Manzilians, as well as tips for which type of guy each style might suit.
Men's Speedo Bikini IPL
- The Speedo Bikini removes hair from the sides and top of your undies line but not from your penis, scrotum, or pubis.
- Suits guys who wear briefs or Speedos and are happy with their leg and pubic hair.
Men's Saddle IPL
- The Saddle style of hair removal is designed for cyclists who want to prevent rashes and chaffing down under, but don't want it to be obvious.

FAQ ★ IPL Pubic Hair Removal
To avoid duplication with the main IPL Hair Removal page, I've kept this FAQ section short and relevant to pubic hair IPL treatments.
If you'd like to dive into understanding IPL more deeply, here's the main page:
I'm not sure I want a permanent result. Should I wax instead?
This is a totally fair question. A lot of clients do try a Manzilian Wax before they commit to IPL pubic hair removal, to make sure they like the look.
I suggest you check out the Manzilian Waxing page and read the FAQ there to compare one type of treatment with the other.
How many IPL pubic hair removal treatments will I need?
As a general rule of thumb, each hair grows for one month then sleeps for 5 months to re-energise. I can only kill hairs that are actively growing.
For that reason, I recommend 6 treatments in 6 months, preferably 4 weeks apart.
After 6 sessions, we'll reassess. If you have no hairs returning, I'll start spacing out your appointments. We'll book your next session for two months, then four months, and so on, until I'm only seeing you every year or two for a top up.
On the other hand, if you're having a slower response but we're definitely seeing results, we'll just keep chipping away.
What could prevent me having IPL Pubic Hair Removal?
- very dark skin: Type 6 and some Type 5
- waxing or plucking in the past week
- use of depilatory creams in the last month
- sunburn, dark suntan, fake tan
- contagious skin diseases
- STIs
- open wounds, badly broken skin
- unhealed surgical scarring
- epilepsy or seizures caused by flashing lights
- Testosterone supplements
- Skin tattoos
- Photo-sensitising medications and supplements

What will I notice between IPL Pubic Hair removal treatments?
Ideally, you'll see one or both of these responses:
- Your hair will stop growing for 3 to 4 weeks, or
- Your hair will regrow normally for around two weeks, and then suddenly fall out.
I can buy a cheap IPL machine online.
Yeah. They aren't effective, but feel free to give one a try. I can say that without fear because if you do buy one, and:
- it doesn't work at all, I'll end up seeing you for a real treatment in the future.
- if you do see a result, it will only be that your hair is lighter, i.e. the low powered machine stripped the melanin from your hair, leaving you with blond or grey pubes. Once the melanin is gone, you can't get it back, and that makes you a lifelong waxing client.
Will IPL on my pubic hair affect my sperm?
Intense Pulsed Light is essentially heat energy. Case studies suggest that the effects of intense Pulsed Light on sperm is no different to sitting in a hot bath, which decreases your sperm count for the very short term.
Here is a case study I conducted if you'd like to learn about it in more detail:
Can IPL help with pilonidal sinus?
Absolutely.
After excision, the surgeon will usually recommend that hair from the area be removed to reduce the risk of another pilonidal cyst forming.
IPL will progressively reduce hair growth in the area and is generally regarded as the best method for achieving the desired result.
I don't recommend any other types of hair removal including depilatory creams, waxing, plucking, sugaring, or electrolysis for combating pilonidal sinus.
I know you socially. Will that be weird?
I'm active in local sports, arts, and business circles. It follows that many people in those communities are also clients.
At work, my Duty of Care is clear-cut and I can easily separate my roles. Your privacy and confidentiality as a client, is absolute.
I'm a cyclist and get jock itch. Should I get IPL Pubic Hair Removal?
Absolutely. This special article about pubic hair removal and waxing for male cyclists explores your options.
Will pubic hair IPL treatments increase sensitivity during sex?
Definitely. Without pubic hair, sex is smoother and much more hygienic. Your partner will love it too.
