Laser hair removal offers an efficient solution to effectively eliminate unwanted facial hair without harming its surrounding skin. By shaving, waxing or plucking only when necessary, laser can give you smooth, flawless skin without the painful hassles and inconvenience associated with shaving, waxing and plucking.
Laser treatments are fast, zapping one hair follicle at a time in less than one second. Most people report feeling only a brief discomfort during treatment – like being struck by an elastic band snapping.
Chin
Chin hair can often become unsightly when it grows patchily or darker than other facial features, making laser hair removal an ideal solution for getting rid of peach fuzz permanently.
Laser hair removal works by targeting skin with concentrated beams of light that penetrate deeply into hair follicles to change their pigment and stop their growth. This method is more efficient than electrolysis or waxing which are both painful and time consuming processes; unfortunately results typically require six-12 treatments before noticeable change can be seen; additionally it’s wise to schedule regular touch up sessions throughout the year in order to maintain hair-free looks.
Laser hair removal does not cause discomfort for those experiencing it; however, you must avoid direct sun exposure for four weeks leading up to your laser hair removal session, and use an SPF50+ sunscreen on the area being treated to protect your skin from sun damage and avoid complications like cold sore outbreaks or changes in its color.
Before receiving laser treatment, it is crucial that you avoid tweezing, plucking and bleaching hair as this will disrupt its follicles, making them less responsive to laser. Furthermore, topical self-tanners should not be applied directly on the area to be treated, as these may darken skin tone preventing desired outcomes of laser therapy treatment.
Chin and sideburn areas tend to be especially sensitive, yet you can still enjoy your favorite food and beverages without experiencing any discomfort. Wear a hat to protect your face from the sun. After treatment, some individuals experience slight reddening of the skin which usually dissipates within several hours.

Sideburns
Laser hair removal may be your solution if you’re tired of having peach fuzz on your cheeks, an unibrow, or hair growing above your lip. Safe and effective, it will save time spent shaving or waxing frequently which may result in ingrown hairs or razor burn.
Before receiving laser therapy, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and numbed using a numbing gel before a technician applies the laser beams. Prior to your session, any makeup or lotions must be removed in order for the lasers to target hair follicles effectively; additionally, sun exposure in the days leading up to your appointment should also be avoided as laser treatments don’t work well on tanned skin.
Laser treatments use light energy that absorbs pigment in hair to generate heat that damages or destroys its follicle, thus restricting growth and leading to permanent hair reduction – meaning no more shaving or waxing!
Laser hair removal is a painless and safe treatment option suitable for both men and women, making it the ideal way to remove unwanted hair. It works especially well on dark or dyed blond locks which have become unsightly or have been dyed to match skin tone.
As laser hair removal doesn’t always fully remove all your hair, it is crucial that multiple sessions be scheduled at regular intervals (6 weeks apart is ideal so the laser can target anagen phase hair growth), since missed cycles will cause new hairs to grow back at different stages and delay your desired results.
Selecting a reliable laser hair removal provider is also key, as unlicensed technicians may use subpar equipment that could cause serious side effects. By following aftercare instructions and attending all treatment sessions as recommended, laser hair removal for facial hair can deliver long-term results – some patients even see results that last years before needing maintenance appointments!
Lips
Laser treatment is an efficient and safe solution to unwanted facial hair, whether that means peach fuzz that just won’t go away or an ingrown hair that drives you mad. To achieve optimal results, it is advisable to discontinue shaving and waxing six weeks prior to your laser appointment; this allows the light to reach its root and disable it more effectively. In addition, sun damage may impede results – an effect which cannot be reversed once damage has taken place.
This procedure works by emitting a low-intensity laser beam at unwanted hair follicles. As these absorb and convert light energy to heat energy, this prevents future hair growth from that follicle. Most clients typically require six to 12 sessions to see significant reduction in facial hair growth; however, hormones can have an influence that requires follow up appointments four to eight weeks post laser session to keep hair follicles from reappearing.
Before going in for laser hair removal treatment, it’s essential that you inform your practitioner of any medical conditions or medications you are currently taking, as well as wear protective eyewear during your session. Depending on your comfort level and personal preferences, topical numbing cream may also be applied prior to starting treatment. Furthermore, tanning or using self-tanners before your appointment could alter how your skin reacts to laser beams, possibly rendering them less effective and making you more susceptible.
Most people find laser hair removal less painful than waxing or shaving, although its intensity depends on which area of their face they’re having treated; generally speaking, waxing the upper lip can be slightly more uncomfortable than treating other parts of your face but is typically not unbearable. Painful laser treatments come from pulses of light hitting the surface of skin that feel like small stings – although luckily this discomfort only lasts momentarily before relaxing the treated area immediately afterwards.
Face
Face skin is delicate, and any errors during laser treatments can result in redness or scarring. To minimize these complications, a physician will thoroughly evaluate the targeted area prior to starting their procedure – this may involve reviewing clinical history records as well as full facial and hormonal assessments as well as giving patients the chance to ask any questions and share goals regarding treatment.
At their laser hair removal session, patients should expect a quick and comfortable experience. While the procedure itself may feel similar to an occasional light stinging sensation, its effects will only cause minor flushing of the area being treated; once finished, a soothing gel will be applied directly onto their faces in order to minimize any inflammation that might ensue.
The number of laser sessions required to reach desired results depends on an individual’s skin and hair type, although most clients experience significant results after 6-12 treatments. Laser treatment not only reduces unwanted facial hair but can also diminish freckles, age spots and other discolorations issues.
Laser treatment requires that hair follicles contain pigment. Blond and gray hair will not respond as effectively, as their lack of melanin prevents light energy absorption; brown and black hair respond very favorably, however.
Before your scheduled laser treatment, it is recommended that you shave the target area to remove any unwelcome hair. In addition, use broad spectrum sunscreen to protect skin damage from sun exposure. It is also advisable not to use products which darken skin such as sunless skin creams before your appointment; such products could impede on its effectiveness.
Before scheduling laser treatment, it is recommended to forgo facial waxing or electrolysis treatments as they can disturb hair follicles and interfere with laser’s results. Furthermore, any chemical peels or microneedling treatments could irritate skin further and increase risk of side effects.
Women often opt for laser hair removal on the upper lip, cheeks, sides of chin and sides of earlobes; men prefer having it done on their neckline or beard area; however some also opt to get laser treatment done on their earlobes, jawline and forehead.
