We offer a range of services and treatments, including a variety of dermal filler options, as well as laser hair removal and chemical peels. As a result, we have produced this guide to everything you should know about the advantages of laser hair removal for facial hair.
What are the advantages of laser hair removal for facial hair?
Using laser hair removal for facial hair can bring a number of benefits, especially when compared to waxing and other at home hair removal options. These advantages include:
- Precision hair removal
- Long term, long lasting results
- Speed and efficiency
- Comfortable procedure
Laser hair removal can precisely target facial hairs
By opting for laser hair removal, instead of shaving, waxing or other hair removal methods, you can target just the facial hairs you want to remove, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. This is almost impossible to achieve with other hair removal methods, as these also damage the skin, or remove the top skin cells. This can lead to nasty rashes and other uncomfortable side effects. As a result, for facial hair, laser hair removal is often the most effective treatment procedure.
Facial laser hair removal offers long term, long lasting results
Laser hair removal works by using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). This strong light source destroys the hair follicle, within the skin, disrupting the hair growth. This means that with repeated sessions, the hair will not grow back at all, providing permanent removal for unwanted facial hair. As a result, you can save money on upkeep, as only a few sessions are needed to remove the facial hairs completely, and you won’t need to keep booking in for a wax every month.
Laser hair removal for facial hair is a quick process
The removal of facial hair through IPL or laser treatment is a fast and effective procedure. The intense light can target a number of hair follicles in less than a fraction of a second, covering the whole area in just a few minutes. And after several treatments, your hair will no longer grow back. As a result, you can have a laser hair removal appointment in the middle of your day, without needing to cancel too many plans, or taking a day off to recover.
Facial laser hair removal is comfortable
The laser hair removal procedure causes much less pain than other hair removal types including waxing and shaving. Both of these can be uncomfortable both during the process, and afterwards, as the hair is ripped from the hair follicles, and the skin cells are damaged. In contrast, laser hair removal feels similar to a fast, hot snap, before it moves on, and as it moves very quickly, it is not very painful at all.
