Arizona Facial Hair Removal

Removing unwanted facial hair can be a very time-consuming beauty routine. Women with lighter complexions may be able to 'get away' with letting their upper lips or chins go for longer periods of time between treatments, but women with dark facial hair really need to keep up with their painful waxing, depilation or even shaving to avoid looking messy and unkempt. Laser hair removal is an option that provides a permanent reduction of facial fuzz and is virtually pain free.

Becoming a Candidate for Laser Facial Hair Removal

A woman who is considering laser treatments to reduce the amount of unwanted facial hair (especially the sides of the face) should consult with her doctor prior to scheduling a consultation for laser removal. It is important to be sure that she is not experiencing a hormonal imbalance requiring medical attention. Once that situation is resolved, candidacy for treatment is considered. Women who are light-skinned with dark hair are the best candidates for successful laser treatments. This does not mean that darker-skinned women cannot receive the treatment. There are many different types of lasers that are used to damage the follicles effectively enough that they stop producing. The Diode and Nd-YAG lasers can be used safely on darker skin. Several sessions over two to three months are recommended for successful removal of a large portion of fuzz and stubble on the face.
