Excessive, unsightly or unwanted facial hair is a cause for concern for many women, which can lead to low self-esteem and while common, unwanted hair on the face can embarrass women and really affect their self-confidence themselves. Removing hair is the best solution, although waxing, threading and plucking may become irritating and painful, but if you are not satisfied with these methods, laser hair removal is worth considering as an alternative option, as that offers long-term results.
Remedies and treatments include;
- Using shaving, threading, and waxing techniques that are time-consuming and temporary.
- Electrolysis permanently removes hair using heat, but it is extremely slow and painful and may leave some signs of scarring.
- Reduction of unwanted facial hair growth can also be used with medicated creams, although side effects such as skin rashes and irritation can occur when using this method.
- Another healthy remedy that can help reduce unwanted hair is weight loss. There are some women who have noticed unnecessary facial hair growth when they are overweight, and losing excess weight could help with facial hair reduction.
- Long-lasting results can now be achieved with laser hair removal. This treatment is a better alternative as small and large areas can be easily treated quickly and effectively compared to other methods.
Facial hair removal with laser treatment is a quick procedure that gives great results. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy and this energy is then converted into heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin, and this stops hair growth in the damaged follicle.
With laser treatment, there is only minimal discomfort, usually just a slight stinging sensation on the skin as the laser pulses are applied, but topical numbing cream can make any treatment more comfortable.
