Best Way To Remove Facial Hair

Laser facial hair removal is a vital tool in the battle against unwanted facial hair. This relatively newly available laser therapy has transformed the lives of many women who have experienced unwanted facial hair growth.

In the past many women could get only temporary relief using a variety of facial hair treatments such as waxing, depilatory creams or shaving. Of these removal techniques, shaving the face is probably the most disheartening for women. Not only does it usually have to be done every single day, the resulting re-growth has a rough stubbly feel which can make many women extremely unhappy about anyone touching their face, as well as suffering the embarrassing “5 o’clock shadow” look.

The Electrolysis Option
Electrolysis facial hair removal is the alternate permanent technique utilized by dermatologists and beauticians to treat female facial hair; it is suitable if there are only a sparse number of hairs to treat, while facial laser hair removal can successfully clear sizable areas of the face.

Often a few visible hairs that persist after largely effective treatment with facial laser hair removal can be removed with electrolysis, giving the final touches that the woman feels she requires to be fully satisfied with her new silky-smooth facial skin.

Price Of Facial Laser Hair Removal
Most women who need to deal with unwanted facial hair problems will consider the cost of a solution to be an investment they will happily make if it resolves their problem for the long term. Home facial hair removal with waxing techniques or depilatory creams will probably add up to more than the cost of laser hair removal in the long term.

Example costs in the US can vary from location to location, for example for the full face one might anticipate paying anywhere between $250 and $600 per treatment session (and you will probably need 6 of these sessions) – depending among other things on how much growth is present. For an upper lip treatment, one might anticipate paying around $25 – $100 for a single treatment session.

Side Effects
Severe facial hair removal complications from laser treatment are luckily uncommon; the majority of women will experience redness after facial laser hair removal but this should disappear within a few days at most. If you feel unhappy about this, it is advisable to have the treatment done on a Friday and / or to take a day or two off work for some privacy. It is, however, perfectly safe to use makeup after the treatment.

Permanence of Treatment
Under normal circumstances, laser removal can give you a permanent solution by deactivating a significant proportion of the follicles or roots underneath the skin. The results will not give a 100% clearance but should provide relief by preventing most of the growth; the remaining regrowth should be visibly weaker, thinner and paler.

Causes of Female Hirsutism
One of the common causes of surplus female facial hair is PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), afflicting around 6% of women of child bearing age. One of the common symptoms of PCOS is irregular periods, although even if you have regular periods this does not necessarily eliminate the possibility of PCOS. In short, if you suffer from the growth of dark, coarse hairs on your face it is important to be tested for any hormonal problems prior to seeking laser treatment.

Conclusion
Do not allow facial hair problems to blight your life. You deserve to solve this problem for good and have the smooth face you have always wanted. Facial laser hair removal could be the answer you have been looking for!
