Facial Hair Removal

Unwanted or excess facial hair can be embarrassing. Women may feel less feminine and uncomfortable with excessive facial hair. Men may prefer to remove excess hair from their eyebrows or prefer to have a smooth facial appearance without shaving.

Plucking, electrolysis, shaving and waxing are common facial hair removal treatments. Unfortunately, most facial hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or electrolysis require outgrowth before removing the unwanted hair. Plucking facial hair has to be done daily and can cause discoloration or infection. Electrolysis can be expensive and can discolor or infect hair follicles. Shaving can leave women and men with a shadow, and depilatories can be irritating. Facial hair removal by waxing can cause redness and irritation.

Facial hair removal by laser requires very little time. Facial hair removal of the upper lip takes about five minutes, and a full face can take about 15 minutes. Facial hair removal sessions are repeated approximately once a month and patients need 4-6 sessions. Men can come to a facial hair removal treatment clean-shaven, but they should not use any other facial hair removal method for at least a month before the next laser hair removal appointment.

Laser facial hair removal offers men and women a relatively pain free, low time commitment option for unwanted facial hair.
