Removal of Facial Hair

The removal of facial hair is far more complex than the removal of body hair in other areas. Because facial hair is not only sensitive but highly visible, only the gentlest and safest methods should be used for removal. In fact, many women opt not to remove the hair at all, but to bleach it. Home bleaching kits can help disguise dark facial hair, but should be used with caution. When bleaching, it's important to follow all directions carefully. Misuse or misapplication of bleaching products can damage the skin or result in painful, unsightly skin damage.

The Best Methods for Removal of Facial Hair

Those who would prefer to avoid bleaching might consider laser hair removal techniques. The removal of facial hair through laser treatments is safe, reasonably affordable, and permanent in most cases. Laser hair removal equipment targets pigments in hair follicles, damaging the follicle but leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This process effectively shuts down the hair follicle, causing the hair to fall out and not regrow. In the instances when hair does regrow, it comes in noticeably lighter and thinner. Multiple laser treatments can help achieve total removal of facial hair.

There are some aftereffects of laser hair removal techniques to keep in mind. You can expect the skin to be tender, slightly red, and a little swollen for a few hours following the removal of facial hair. These effects should fade in just a few hours.
