Excessive body hair can be troubling for women for any number of different reasons, and when it’s located on any number of different areas on the body. However, it’s fair to say that if there’s one place where hair growth is fully unacceptable it’s when it is occurring on their faces. No woman would ever grow start to grow a beard like a man would, but even a little ‘peach fuzz’ on the upper lip is not going to be okay. The upper lips is actually the area that’s most popular for facial hair removal with laser, but anywhere on the face can be treated.
For many of the same reasons, shaving there is not a realistic option for women either, and that should come as no surprise. These days more and more of them are inquiring about permanent facial hair removal, and fortunately a laser treatment for facial hair removal has never been more available and more affordable than it is right now in Canada.
Here at Maya Laser, we are very sympathetic to women’s wishes here and take pride in being able to offer facial hair removal laser services to women in Victoria and elsewhere around the South Island. Our Candela GentleMax Pro laser unit lets us make effective laser hair removal available to women with a greater variety of skin types. Most notably it allows for effective treatment for women with darker skin.
Permanently Smooth Visage
Here are a pair of considerations for anyone thinking of laser treatment for permanent facial hair removal. The thinner skin of the face means that the pinprick-like sensation created by the laser as it pulses into your skin will be a little more painful than elsewhere on your body. Next, all laser hair removal treatments create temporary redness and marks on the skin.
It’s not difficult to conceal this skin redness when you’ve had treatment on other body parts, but for many women, it won’t be possible or practical to conceal their face for a pair of days or longer. For this reason you should make plans to be able to stay home for 2 to 3 days following a laser facial hair removal treatment and keep in mind as well that for most women 3 to 5 treatments will be required to achieve the final results they’re looking for.
Do also be aware that the skin of the treated area must be shaved before the laser treatment can begin. The hair follicle must be below the skin in order for the laser to become the heat that disables the follicle at the root. Women who are considering a facial hair removal treatment here at our Victoria skin laser clinic should come knowing that they will need to have the hair shave off the face first.
