About Facial Hair Removal

by Amy Berger

Facial hair removal can change a person’s life. Several areas on the face can be treated separately. Some might only need laser facial hair removal on the upper lip, while others might want to clean up the area between the eye brows. Some men for medical or esthetic reasons as well as for convenience, might consider a full beard or a partial beard laser hair removal.

Eyebrows hair removal

Only the area between the eyebrows can be safely treated by laser. The eyebrow itself is not a good candidate for laser removal because the precision of the laser cannot be controlled when hair is growing at an angle.

The shape of eyebrows has followed many variations over the years. It would be good to take that into consideration when thinking about a laser removal treatment for your eyebrows. Remember that this is a definitive procedure, the hair will not grow back. The fad in only a few years ago of having very thin eyebrows, is now gone. So please consider carefully the shape you will choose as what is in today may not be in, in a few years. It is often offered that only a small amount of hair be removed from the eyebrows. It is possible to mix the methods of hair removal, to minimize the possibility of removing some hair that you might regret later.

What factors should be taken into consideration when performing this procedure?

  • You should discuss, with your hair laser removal doctor or technician, what it is that you want to accomplish.
  • The area should then be well marked by shaving
  • Your eyes should be shielded by special glasses
  • You can expect to have several sessions at 8 to 10 weeks interval.

Upper lip hair removal

In women the upper lip is usually covered by a very fine hair. But in some people this fine hair can at times be very unsightly, due to hormonal conditions or to hereditary traits. This can cause distress in many women. For these women laser hair removal is the absolute best solution. The doctor doing the treatment should inquire about any hormonal conditions. Usually a discussion of such medical conditions with your doctor is sufficient, but it might be necessary to conduct a more complete evaluation if a medical condition exists.

Upper lip hair does not have the same life cycle as other hair on the body, because of that sessions might be closer together than for other areas.

Chin and Cheeks hair removal

In women the chin is usually covered by a very fine hair. Like the upper lip this hair can be a source of embarrassment for some women. If a medical condition is the reason for hairiness, then like in lip treatment your laser hair removal practitioner should be well aware of it.

Like for lip treatment the sessions will be closer to each other since the hair has a shorter life cycle.

In men hair removal of the beard gives an esthetic result that can be appreciated for many, besides the convenience of not having to shave. For others medical conditions like folliculitis can be resolved by doing this procedure. This explains the large demand that there is for laser hair removal of the bead.

It is the ideal solution for transexual men preparing to undergo a sex change operation.

An important factor to remember when choosing this procedure is that the skin near the jaw is very thin and therefore sensitive, and a skilled practitioner should be doing the procedure not an inexperience one, as burns can occur.

If hair removal on a woman’s face is not painful, the same cannot be said about a man’s beard. Several steps can be taken to alleviate pain during and after the treatment. Usually reducing the settings on the laser equipment will make a difference in the level of pain, as well as a reduction of the frequency of pulses. Hypnosis could be used for patients experiencing more than usual pain, and topical analgesics can also be used.
