Laser Facial Hair RemovalLaser facial hair removal, or any laser hair removal, is permanent and relatively painless. It can be expensive and time consuming, but you'll never have to shave again so it's well worth the effort! A laser hair removal treatment takes only minutes but the results are lasting. The hair removal system works by targeting the hair follicle, which is what makes this kind of hair removal treatment permanent. The video demonstrates laser hair removal on an armpit, but the process is the same for the face. This procedure can be performed on almost any area of the body.
Lasers have been used for hair removal since the 1970's. They must be used by a licensed technician in a med spa, but the procedure is very safe with few side effects. Lasers focus on dark pigment and so are most effective for coarse, dark hair (especially on light skin). Improvements are always being made and newer lasers can be quite effective on lighter hair or on darker skin without causing damage. Very fine hair, however, is best treated with electrolysis. It may take 6 - 8 treatments to completely remove the hair from the treated area, and treatments are generally 2 - 3 months apart. Laser hair removal should only be performed by a licensed technician at a medical spa. This process is expensive as well as time-consuming, but the effects are permanent so it could be considered an investment with savings in time and money over your lifetime. • Return to Spa Treatment Glossary J - M • Return to Spa Facial Treatments • Return to Spa Body Treatments Return from Laser Facial Hair Removal to Great Spa Vacations  |
