Many women struggle with unwanted facial hair. The unbearable mustache becomes visible just a few days after the painful waxing, and although the bad impression of the previous one has not yet passed, you already have to think about the next one. Depilation of the face can be tiring, as with other areas of the body, in addition, as on the legs, irritation and redness can also occur on the face. Therefore, it is best to opt for permanent hair removal – laser facial hair removal.
Facial hair removal methods – removing unwanted hairs
As with other areas of the body, there are several methods for more or less effective depilation of the face. Each method has its pros and cons, some are less painful, but have a short-lived effect, while others allow you to get rid of unwanted hair for a longer period of time, but leave irritation on the skin. Among the most common methods of facial hair removal are:
- Wax patches – this is one of the most effective methods of facial hair removal, which allows you to enjoy the effect for up to 4 weeks. Its definite downside, however, is the pain during the process of plucking out the hairs, as well as the need to grow them to a length of at least 3 mm for the epilation to be effective. In addition, it is a method that can cause irritation or inflammation of the hair follicle.
- Tweezers – effective only for single hairs. Depilation of a larger area with the help of this tool would be a very tedious and long job.
- Hair removal creams – the most painless way, but also very ineffective. Hair grows back quite quickly, and in addition, depilatory creams are prone to causing allergic reactions, so extra care should be taken when using them.
- Laser facial hair removal – currently the best way to permanently remove hair. The use of laser effectively gets rid of hair in such a way as to avoid regrowth. In order to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to perform several sessions, as well as to maintain appropriate intervals between treatments.
Laser facial hair removal – how does it work?
Facial laser hair removal is nothing more than acting on the hair structure with beams of light that have a destructive effect on it. The laser, which reaches the dermis, only interacts with the melanin in the hair, so it remains inert to the skin without causing a burn. To achieve the full effect, the treatment should be repeated 4-6 times, a few weeks apart. However, it all depends on the structure of the hair, the area being depilated and the type of laser. Among several different lasers, you can choose the most suitable one depending on the color of the hair or the area to be depilated. The most effective lasers for facial hair removal are:
- Vectus laser – one of the most effective and modern methods of combating stubborn hair. The device adjusts the laser power depending on the level of melanin. Thanks to built-in mirrors, it reuses the light reflecting off the skin.
- Deka Motus AX laser – this device is characterized by very high melanin absorption, so it also works effectively on thin and light hair. The alexandrite laser light sent into the skin allows for high precision treatment.
- Alma Soprano ICE laser – with this laser two heads are used – alexandrite and diode. With this solution, the laser will effectively affect dark and thick hair, as well as light and thin hair. The special Facial Tip’s small size allows for efficient and accurate laser facial hair removal even in hard-to-reach areas, such as the ears.
- Gentlelase PRO laser – this laser is characterized by incredible speed. Short and precise pulses allow hair reduction in a short period of time. The dual wavelength and high energy density greatly enhance the effectiveness of this laser.
