Illinois Face Hair Removal

Unwanted face hair tends to appear on the cheeks, chin and upper lip, and removal is usually the only means to properly address it. Hormonal changes can result in unusual hair growth on different parts of the face--parts that didn't have undue growth before. The fine soft hair we all have on our faces tends to coarsen over time, creating more prominent hair that detracts from our natural beauty.

Depilatory creams and waxing treatments are popular choices for the removal of face hair. Creams dissolve hair at the base of the follicle, while waxing yanks the hair out at its roots. Both tend to work only in the short term--a few days or a few weeks--which requires regular reapplication to keep the hair away. Laser hair removal offers a more permanent solution, though it can be more expensive and usually takes several sessions to work.

Consult Your Illinois Dermatologist About Laser Face Hair Removal

A good dermatologist can tell you if laser face hair removal will work well for you. It tends to work best with the high contrast of dark hair against pale skin. The laser is calibrated to match the pigmentation of your hair, and it becomes more challenging if it can't differentiate between the amount in your hair and the amount in your skin easily. The good news is that hair of paler colors against darker skin can still be treated and that dark hairs tend to be the ones most in need of removal on the face.
