Facial laser hair removal uses light energy to target dark pigment in unwanted hair and stop its regrowth, with less pain than traditional methods and quick sessions lasting only minutes per treatment.
Some individuals experiencing laser hair removal experience redness and irritation, which may require frequent applications of an ice pack to alleviate discomfort. It’s also essential that treated skin remains protected from direct sun exposure until any redness subsides.
Cost
Laser treatments cost significantly less than other hair removal methods such as waxing, shaving and threading; however, the total cost may still depend on the size of the treatment area and number of sessions necessary to reach desired results.
To receive an accurate estimate, it is advisable to schedule a consultation with a certified cosmetic surgeon. This will enable them to obtain your medical history and perform an in-depth skin analysis; additionally they may recommend conducting blood tests to detect hormone imbalances that could explain your unwanted hair growth.
Once your consultation is over, a technician will begin your facial laser hair removal treatment. A protective gel will be applied over the area being treated, to protect its surface while also absorbing laser light efficiently. A laser beam then targets individual hair follicles for destruction; depending on their color, thickness, and location this could range anywhere between 50-200 will be destroyed during each session.
Laser light absorbs pigment in hair, turning into heat that damages its follicle and stops hair follicle from producing new hairs while also preventing ingrowns. Although this treatment works on all facial hair, dark-colored varieties respond best; light-colored peach fuzz or gray will continue to grow unchecked by lasers.
Before beginning the laser treatment, a specialist will conduct a preliminary evaluation and apply a numbing gel if necessary. They’ll then cover your eyes and provide protective goggles so you can wear during the procedure – you might experience something like rubber band snapping against skin; some patients also reported the slight odor of burning hair due to this treatment.
As soon as your procedure is over, your technician will discuss how best to care for and treat your skin in future treatments. They typically advise using sunscreen with SPF 30+ that contains zinc oxide as well as covering up the treatment area from sun exposure; especially during its first few weeks post-session.
Pain
Laser hair removal may cause some mild discomfort, but it should be minimal and short-lived when using cutting-edge technologies such as the RF ICE CUBE 2.0 offered by Richfeel which reduces discomfort by cooling and soothing the skin. You may still experience some tingling sensation but it should be far less intense.
Prior to your facial laser hair removal session, it is a good idea to refrain from plucking, waxing and threading the area as well as engaging in any sunless tanning or chemical peel treatments during the week before. In order to get optimal results from your procedure, be sure to follow all pre-treatment guidelines thoroughly.
Your doctor may also suggest taking anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin or naproxen to decrease any bleeding that occurs during treatment, and shaving the area might help the laser beam penetrate more easily and target hair follicles more effectively.
Traditional methods of hair removal can be painful, labor-intensive and costly; laser hair removal offers permanent solutions that work for men and women with all skin types.

Downtime
Facial laser hair removal is an innovative solution to unwanted facial hair that provides safe and permanent results. Much faster than shaving and more comfortable than waxing, facial laser hair removal reduces ingrown hairs which cause painful bumps or scarring as well as improves makeup application due to thinner and lighter textures of facial hair.
During the procedure, a specialist will use a handheld device to move a laser over your skin. As it passes through your outer layers of facial tissues and absorbs pigment from hair follicles, its light energy will penetrate their pigment and eventually cause them to close off and the hair to eventually fall out – depending on your hair color and thickness, varying sessions may be needed to treat each hair color/thickness combination.
Laser treatments are generally painless; at worst, you might feel something similar to a slight pinch or rubber band snapping against your skin. Treatment time typically lasts only minutes. After which a specialist will apply soothing gel and you can resume your daily activities as normal.
Those seeking laser hair removal should wait approximately six weeks between plucking or waxing their unwanted hairs and getting laser treatments, in order for the pulses of light to target each individual follicle without burning your skin. It is also wise to avoid sunless tanners or chemical peels that could irritate or interfere with laser treatments.
Laser hair removal for men typically focuses on their beard, neckline and chest; however, many men also have unwanted facial hair that makes them uncomfortable in public settings – this makes laser hair removal an attractive solution.
Laser hair removal differs from tweezing by targeting multiple unwanted hairs at once, rather than one at a time. Results should become noticeable between six and 12 treatments; once achieved they should remain permanent. Hormonal changes could possibly prevent this permanent solution, so regular maintenance sessions are advised for maximum effectiveness.
Side Effects
Laser hair removal treatments often lead to some form of skin irritation following treatment, although it usually subsides within 24-48 hours and never lasts more than a couple days. Its cause lies within heat produced from laser beams; for this reason professionals employ cooling devices in order to minimize its effects; you can avoid it using ice packs and taking cold baths – though in severe cases there may be crusting which requires manual scraping to get rid of. It’s vital that post-treatment instructions are strictly adhered to so as to minimize side effects caused by laser treatment!
Some individuals may experience ingrown hairs following laser treatment, particularly if they suffer from acne or have combination skin. An exfoliant such as salicylic acid can help reduce their appearance and stop further ingrowns from becoming worse.
After surgery, it is also vitally important that treated areas avoid sun exposure for one month post-procedure, as pigmentation produced by hair follicles could alter their natural skin colour and lead to permanent darkening of these areas. It would be prudent to wear sunscreen regularly after your skin has returned its normal tone as a preventive measure.
Laser hair removal is an efficient and safe solution to permanently eliminating unwanted facial and body hair. While multiple sessions may be required to achieve permanent reduction, its results often surpass other methods like waxing or shaving and last much longer than any alternative approach.
However, it should be remembered that improper application could result in burns and scarring if performed without professional training and experience. It is wise to review the credentials of any technician prior to undergoing treatment; for instance checking their license and membership of a recognized organization to make sure that they have acquired adequate skills and training.
