For years many women could get only transient relief using a variety of facial hair removal products such as waxing, depilatory creams or shaving. Of these removal techniques, shaving the face is possibly the most depressing for women. Not only does it commonly have to be done every single day, the resulting re-growth has an offensive stubbly feel which can make many women extremely self-conscious about anyone touching their face, as well as suffering the humiliating "5 o'clock shadow" look.
How Permanent is It?
Under normal circumstances, laser removal can provide a enduring solution by disabling a significant percentage of the follicles or roots below the skin. The results will not give a 100% clearance but should provide relief by preventing most of the growth; the remaining regrowth should be visibly weaker, thinner and paler.
Electrolysis Treatment
Electrolysis facial hair removal is the alternate enduring process employed by dermatologists and beauticians to deal with female facial hair; it is appropriate if there are only a sparse number of hairs to deal with, while facial laser hair removal can successfully clear sizable areas of the face.
Sometimes a few visible hairs that are left after largely effective treatment with facial laser hair removal can be treated using electrolysis, delivering the final touches that the patient feels she needs to be fully satisfied with her new smooth facial skin.
Causes of Female Hirsutism
Female facial hair can be instigated by a hormonal imbalance, often accompanying a medical complaint such as PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), when the excess growth is termed PCOS hirsutism. It is therefore important to rule out and if necessary treat any hormonal imbalance prior to starting any invasive treatment, otherwise the hormonal imbalance may simply cause immediate regrowth.
Side Effects and Complications
Dangerous facial hair removal side effects from laser treatment are thankfully infrequent; most women will experience redness after facial laser hair removal but this will commonly disappear within a few days at the most. If you feel self-conscious about this, it is recommended to have the treatment carried out on a Friday and / or to take a day or two as vacation for some privacy. It is, however, safe to use makeup after the treatment.
Facial Laser Hair Removal Prices
Most women who have unwanted facial hair problems will consider the monetary cost of a solution to be an investment they will be happy to make if it resolves their problem permanently. Home facial hair removal using waxing techniques or depilatory creams will likely add up to more than the cost of laser hair removal in the long term.
Example prices in the US can vary from place to place, for example for the full face one might anticipate paying anywhere between $250 and $600 per treatment session (and you will likely require 6 of these sessions) - depending on a number of factors such as how much growth is present. For an upper lip treatment, one might anticipate paying about $25 - $100 for a single treatment session.
Final Words
With today's medical technology, there is a permanent solution to most situations of unwanted facial hair growth; facial laser hair removal is a very serious option that any woman suffering from this difficult problem should investigate fully.
