Laser hair removal offers women with unwanted upper lip hair growth an effective solution – safer, faster and more precise than shaving or waxing with long-term effects.
As part of your preparation for laser treatment, it’s essential that you refrain from tweezing and waxing for six weeks prior to scheduling an appointment. Furthermore, shaving the area prior to treatment will allow your practitioner to provide optimal care.
How Many Sessions?
Are you sick and tired of shaving, waxing and using mustache trimmers to manage hair removal? Laser hair removal could be the perfect non-invasive and fast solution. The procedure uses light-based lasers to target individual follicles so they stop producing new hair; creating smoother facial, body and bikini line areas in just four or six sessions for lasting results from laser hair removal.
Before attending a laser hair removal session, it’s essential that the area to be treated be shaved. You should also refrain from tanning, using moisturizers or makeup in the area and tanning beds in order for your body to absorb as much heat from the laser as possible.
On the day of your treatment, it is necessary to wear goggles to protect your eyes from laser beam. An aesthetician will shave and treat the area to be treated before administering laser treatments using light energy that converts into heat energy to destroy hair follicles and inhibit future hair growth.
Every part of your body experiences its own rate of hair growth at different rates; for instance, facial hair grows significantly faster than chest hair; thus requiring additional treatment sessions than on other parts.
Scheduling a consultation with one of our licensed aestheticians is the best way to determine how many laser hair removal sessions will be necessary for you. At your appointment, we will assess your skin tone and type to ensure safe laser hair removal treatment – this is particularly important since dark skin tones tend to be more susceptible to hyperpigmentation or laser burns than lighter tones.
Attaining your desired upper lip hair-reduction goal may take more sessions than for someone with lighter skin tones; once achieved, though, you must maintain results through periodic maintenance treatments to stay on target and catch any unexpected hair growth for several months after receiving laser hair removal treatments.
The Number of Sessions Will Depend on Your Hair Growth Cycle
Unwanted upper lip hair can be an embarrassing sight. Luckily, laser hair removal offers an effective and long-term solution to rid yourself of unwanted upper lip hair quickly. With just a few treatments you’ll experience long-term results and be rid of shaving, waxing, plucking or using depilatory creams altogether!
The number of treatments required varies between individuals; therefore, the best way to determine how many laser hair removal sessions you require is to arrange an initial consultation with a qualified practitioner. At this meeting, they can assess the area that requires treatment and recommend treatments tailored specifically for you based on your hair and skin type.
At your treatment session, a specialist will place a laser device over the area being treated. Once there, laser light will target and destroy hair follicles; this stops future hair growth allowing for permanently smooth skin in places such as upper lips.
Your first treatment may cause immediate hair loss, with most remaining hair falling out three to five days later. Gradually, any remaining hairs will become finer and less visible until eventually you may no longer even notice them!
Permanent results require multiple treatments, typically two to six, in order for you to see permanent change. Since hair grows in cycles and laser can only target actively growing follicles, it’s crucial that treatments occur every five to eight weeks for maximum effectiveness.
Preparing for laser treatments involves shaving the area to be treated before you visit a clinic, and refraining from applying lotions or makeup in the days leading up to your appointment, since these can interfere with how accurately laser targets hair follicles. A laser technician might provide topical anesthetic during your session in order to lessen any discomfort you might feel during it.
The Number of Sessions Will Depend on Your Hair’s Density
Laser hair removal is much faster than traditional methods like shaving and waxing, as each pulse of the laser takes only milliseconds to target multiple hairs at once. Furthermore, these treatments don’t cause damage to the skin so their effectiveness remains unparalleled – however if your treatment area has very dense hair growth then more sessions may be required to reach desired results.
Most individuals who undergo laser hair removal experience a significant decrease in unwanted hair growth within three months after commencing treatment, with permanent hair reduction possible after only six laser sessions.
To achieve optimal results from laser hair removal treatments, it is imperative that all sessions be attended. This is because lasers can only target hairs when they are actively growing – if you miss one treatment session they could remain in their resting phase and thus not targeted during subsequent ones.
Thus, for effective hair reduction to take place, at least four to six visits to the clinic may be needed; the exact number will depend on factors such as your hair density and color.

Before your laser hair removal appointment, ensure to clean your face thoroughly – this includes removing lotions, creams, makeup and scented fragrances – in addition to forgoing tanning treatments or self-tanner use on any areas you plan to treat for at least two weeks prior to treatment.
Laser treatment for excessive upper lip hair growth will often prove the best solution. Hairs will be permanently disabled, making shaving and waxing unnecessary in the future, while it also has less discomfort than other hair removal techniques.
The Number of Sessions Will Depend on Your Hair’s Color
Laser hair removal works by targeting and destroying hair follicles, preventing new hair growth in its place. Although new growth will eventually return, it usually appears finer and lighter in color than its original form, leading to noticeable reduction or total absence of unwanted hair growth. Results typically become visible after six or twelve sessions, although for optimal results it is essential that you come in regularly for sessions.
Laser hair removal offers an easy, safe, and permanent way to rid yourself of upper lip hair. With just one treatment session you could achieve smooth skin that remains hair free for years afterward – eliminating the hassles of tweezing, shaving or waxing every unwanted facial hair!
Be sure to remove all makeup or lotion from the area that will be treated before beginning laser hair removal, as this will enable the laser to target more accurately your unwanted follicles. Also try and avoid tanning or sun exposure before your appointment as prolonged exposure can lead to uneven skin tone or scarring.
At first, you may experience a mild stinging sensation as the laser applies it to the skin, though this discomfort should subside over time. To further minimize discomfort during treatments, try applying topical desensitization cream prior to commencing treatments.
Apart from minor side effects such as redness or swelling, laser hair removal typically causes little discomfort for most people. After your treatment, the skin around your lips may feel sensitive; however, this should subside within hours.
