Illinois Permanent Facial Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatment is one of the most efficient forms of facial hair removal, but it isn't the only option for those looking to reduce unwanted growth. Here are some of the most common options:

  • Shaving is the easiest, and least permanent, option. It leaves the root and sub-dermal structures in place, though, so regrowth is assured.
  • Waxing is another temporary solution. In this method, the root is also removed, but regrowth will still occur, albeit at a slower rate.
  • Depilatory creams dissolve the protein structures, but do not damage follicles. This makes it another longer lasting, but non-permanent, solution.
  • Electrolysis works by inserting an electrified wire into the follicle to damage the structures permanently, making regrowth impossible.

Laser Hair Removal Treatments Achieve Long-Lasting Results

The most efficient way to get rid of facial hair is laser treatment. Highly focused light is used to burn away the supporting structures, making them unable to regenerate. Several visits are usually required before long-lasting results are seen. While generally effective, some people do not respond well to this method. Because of this, a test should always be performed on a small area before a general application is done.
