Full Face Laser Hair Removal
Facial hair may be perfectly normal for a man, but for a woman excessive hair growth anywhere on her face is going to be very unwelcome. It’s natural that they will not want to shave their face or use temporary hair removal methods on the area. Fortunately a laser treatment for face is a legitimate and affordable possibility these days for women who’d like a permanent solution to unwanted hair growth. The procedure may be more intensive than others, but again it’s a means of being hair free there with long-term results.
Here at Maya Laser, full face laser hair removal is among the many different treatments offered at our Victoria skin laser clinic. There are different considerations for using laser for hair removal on the face area as compared to other regions of the body. The thinner skin of the face makes it so that the area is more sensitive to the pulse of the laser, and women considering a laser treatment for their face may want to use some type of desensitizing lidocaine / prilocaine cream before their session.
Popular areas for hair removal laser treatment for face include the upper lip, the chin, upper cheek sides, or for thinning or sculpting eyebrows for women with naturally thicker ones. In addition, our Candela GentleMax Pro laser unit is an excellent choice for serving clients of different skin types and shades. It’s capable of providing effective full face laser hair removal for women with skin that is anywhere from very fair to quite dark.
Hair No More
It’s important to understand that you are not at any greater risk with a laser treatment for face because of the location. Your laser hair removal technician here at Maya Laser is an expert with administering these types of treatments. Providing the patient with reliable eye protection is standard practice and always done before the treatment begins. She will inquire about your well being and overall comfort level during the treatment.
One good piece of advice with a laser treatment for face is that while the discomfort may be sharp at times as the laser does its job, it’s good to remind yourself that this is temporary but the hair removal will be permanent.
Do keep in mind that – like any laser hair removal treatment – it’s typical for a patient to require 3 to 5 sessions on average to achieve the permanent hair loss results they’re after. The rule for the optimum time for a follow-up treatment is to do it within 7 days of regrowth appearing. Generally the hair regrowth comes back in thinner every time, and this is true for full face laser hair removal too.
It would be nice if laser hair removal was a one-and-done deal, but those hair follicles aren’t eliminated that easily. However, most women are very pleased once they no longer experience hair regrowth and they see their laser treatment for face as a good investment in creating the appearance they want for themselves.
Facial hair removal is not the only laser treatment for face. We also do laser skin resurfacing treatments and more.
