Unwanted facial hair appears on men and women alike and can take a number of different forms:

• Unwanted terminal hair on the chin and upper lip of women, which grow more frequent as the years go by.

Laser Hair Removal Treatments in Lincoln Park Illinois Can Address Unwanted Facial Hair

Some people feel uncomfortable at the thought of laser surgery on their face because of the proximity of the laser to the eyes and the possibility of scarring or discoloration. Laser surgery is actually a good solution to unwanted facial hair because the hair is often close to the surface and the amount of skin surface involved is far less than other parts of the body. The patient wears goggles to protect the eyes, and because the treatments don't cover much space, they usually only last about 10 to 30 minutes. The limited location also increases the effectiveness of the operating technician, making it easier to handle lighter hair or darker skin (which may cause problems otherwise).

Several sessions may be necessary for the full treatment. Unwanted facial hair grows in cycles and each must be treated before the hair removal is complete. NuU Medspa in Lincoln Park, Illinois offers laser hair removal treatments for unwanted facial hair on both men and women.
