Permanent Facial Hair Removal

Every woman has some facial hair. It's most often concentrated on the upper lip, but can also be noticed on the chin, as prominent sideburns or on the cheeks. It's not a problem unless it becomes too noticeable, which happens most frequently in women with fair skin and darker hair.

Fortunately, dark hair makes you a good candidate for permanent facial hair removal using laser techniques. A laser is, in essence, a concentrated beam of light. When focused on a hair follicle, the pigment in the hair absorbs that energy, which incapacitates the follicle. The darker the hair and the fairer the skin, the more efficiently the laser will focus on the follicle.

A Variety of Lasers for Permanent Facial Hair Removal

In recent years, new types of lasers have been developed, so that now permanent facial hair removal is a possibility no matter what your skin tone or the color of your hair. If you have darker skin, an Nd:YAG laser can target the follicle while bypassing the upper layers of the epidermis, thus destroying the follicle without affecting your skin. An ELOS laser combines two different energy sources, and is the most effective means of removing lighter-colored or gray hair.
