Facial Laser Hair Removal
Although common to millions of women, unwanted hair on the face can be an embarrassment. This condition can be hereditary and more noticeable in some ethnic groups but it can also be an indication of a medical problem. Effective treatments are available.
Common areas include:
- Upper Lip
- Chin
- Sideburns
- Brows
After your laser treatment the area will be red – so you may want to schedule your treatment when you can avoid the public for a few hours. You can apply makeup immediately after the treatment but it is best to leave the skin uncovered.
Remember, the best candidate for effective laser hair removal is light skin with dark hair. Blond and gray hair are not good targets for the laser energy. Sun tanned skin is prone to discoloration (hypo and hyper pigmentation) so avoid the sun and wear sun screen prior to treatment.
The area must be shaved prior to treatment and free of any makeup, lotions, or moisturizers. Please use an antibacterial soap to thoroughly clean the area prior to your treatment. If you wax the area then you should wait until the hair grows out before scheduling your laser treatment.
