Permanent Facial-Hair Removal

For some women, permanent hair removal can be the solution for genetic facial hair that may not emerge until later in life. Plucking and waxing facial growth are popular and cheap methods of dealing with the issue, but neither method offers permanent removal. Both are also considerably painful, especially considering how ineffective they are at permanently eliminating growth.

However, there are some good options available. Electrolysis is a treatment that has been around in one form or another for almost 140 years. The process involves the insertion of a very thin needle into the follicle, so that the end is resting within the dark tissue surrounding the base of the follicle. An electrical charge is then sent through the needle, zapping the tissue and effectively destroying it. This has long been a method for body-growth removal but is comparatively expensive and takes a long time to accomplish.

Laser Treatment Is the Best Permanent Facial-Hair Removal Option

A newer process is laser treatment, which is rapidly gaining favor among consumers for being a relatively painless alternative to electrolysis. The process involves firing a laser into the dark tissue surrounding the follicle and heating it up enough to destroy it. It is completely safe, and full treatment can be accomplished in only three to eight sessions.
