Illinois Upper Lip Hair Removal

Hair removal on the upper lip is both common and simple. It becomes more of a concern as women age because vellus hairs--soft, nearly invisible hairs that cover everyone's faces--coarsen and thicken over time to become terminal hairs. Almost all unwanted facial hair is terminal hair, and it tends to develop most often on the always-visible upper lip.

Treating the upper lip for unwanted facial hair is easier than treating other parts of the body because it's a very small patch of skin. Bleaching and shaving are the quickest solutions, and waxing works for several weeks, though it can be extremely painful. Laser surgery and electrolysis, though more expensive, offer longer term solutions to unwanted upper lip hair. Electrolysis sends a burst of electricity through the hair to kill it at its root, while laser surgery sends a burst of light calibrated at a specific wavelength to match your hair's pigment. Laser surgery works best on dark hair against light skin (it can differentiate the pigment much more easily), while electrolysis can handle a wider variety of hair, but tends to be more painful and time consuming.
