Unwanted hair is bothersome, particularly when it’s on the face. At least with other parts of the body, you have the option of hiding them beneath clothing if you forget to shave or don’t have time to wax. Laser hair removal for the face and neck can eliminate the bother altogether by permanently removing unwanted hair, giving you smoother-looking skin, and saving you time and money in the long run.

Tired of plucking and waxing tiny hairs all over your face?

With a simple laser hair removal treatment for your face, you could rid yourself of unwanted facial hair for good and enjoy smoother-looking skin year round.

How does facial laser hair removal work?

Laser facial hair removal works by destroying hair follicles beneath the surface, without damage to the surrounding skin. This is done with the use of specialized laser equipment that emits pulses of light energy deep into the skin to target hair follicles in the growth stage. The procedure destroys the follicles at the root so they will no longer grow hair, leaving your skin smooth and soft.

What are the most common treatment areas for laser facial hair removal?

Of course, you can have your facial hair removed wherever it grows, but the most common treatment areas typically differ between men and women. 

Female laser facial hair removal is most often used to eliminate unwanted hair from the:

• Upper lip
• Chin
• Nose
• Brow area
• Sideburns
• Back of the neck

Male laser facial hair removal often includes the:

• Nose
• Neck line
• Back of the neck
• Brow area

Laser hair removal can be used to eliminate hair from an entire area, or to tidy up edges, creating a clean, refined shape to the beard, brows, or neckline, or hairline. 

How long does laser facial hair removal take?

Laser facial hair removal sessions typically take 5 to 10 minutes. Many people compare the sensation to a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin. Some skin irritation and mild redness or swelling may occur afterward, but it should subside within a few hours.

How many laser hair removal treatments are needed for facial areas?

Hair follicles grow in different cycles, and because the treatment only works when they are in the active growth stage, multiple sessions are usually needed. Most people require six to eight treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. It does take several days for the hairs to shed after each session, so expect a slight delay between the procedure and the results. But as with any laser hair removal, everyone is different. Some people will require only a few treatments to get the smooth skin they desire, while others will need several more. After your first treatment, Dr. Mani will be able to give you a better idea of how many sessions you may need.

Laser Hair Removal for Light Hair

We mentioned above that the laser used in this procedure targets the dark pigments in the hair follicle to break it down. This may make you wonder whether or not laser hair removal is appropriate if you have very light hair.

The good news is that the technology used for these procedures has advanced significantly in the last few years. As a result, now there is a wide range of laser types available for all different skin and hair tones. You should consult with your doctor to determine which treatment is right for your facial hair.
