Facial Hair Removal

Facial Hair Removal



While facial hair is a natural phenomenon for men, it's also common for many women to have some unwanted facial hair, especially after menopause.

Female Facial Hair

In some cases women have noticeable facial hair growth. For women, excessive facial hair is one of the most embarrassing problems. It can be caused by abnormal hormonal variation or appear because of genetic reasons. Whatever the cause is, most women touched by this problem want to make facial hairs less visible or make them disappear permanently. The two most common areas for facial hair removal are the upper lip and the chin.
The most popular methods to remove facial hair are:

  • Laser facial hair removal
  • Facial hair removal creams
  • Electrolysis
  • Waxing
  • Threading
  • Hair Removal with Tweezers

Laser Facial Hair Removal

Many people are choosing this method over the traditional ones.
In this procedure, a tiny laser beam is pointed at the skin. The hair follicles are destroyed, so the hair is eliminated permanently. Some women who had the laser treatment, have reported sensitivity and redness on the surgery areas, but those inconveniences should disappear after a short while.
Laser hair removal is effective and permanent only if you repeat the laser session few times (about 5 treatments are needed), but it depends on the patient's skin and hair colour. For example, it is not very effective on white or light blonde hair. Dark hair on light skin gets the best results.
Laser hair removal is rather expensive, also because it requires few treatments.
If you are going to have the laser treatment, you should learn more about the procedure, what it involves, what risks and complications are possible as a result of it. Before choosing the place, visit or call few facilities and ask them questions to resolve all your doubts and to figure out their attitude towards customers. There are many facilities competing for customers, so it should be easy to find one that offers a good price and quality service. Remember that the cheaper laser treatment is not always the best one, especially if you do not feel comfortable about the company competences or quality procedures.
