As a woman, there are places where you would expect hair to grow, but when unwanted hair starts showing up on your face, it can be a hairy situation for sure. It is no secret that laser hair removal is one of the best ways to rid your body of unwanted hair. However, when dealing with a part of your body that is always exposed, any form treatment with the term "laser" in it can leave you with a lot of questions and concerns. Here are a few of the most common.
Will laser hair removal leave evidence or discoloration behind?
When most people imagine laser hair removal, they picture a utensil with an oddly shaped head shooting high temperature beams of light. However, what actually takes place during laser hair removal is much different. The laser used during treatment is only targeting the hair follicle with pinpoint accuracy. The surface of your skin is not treated at all. Therefore, there will be no long-term scarring or discoloration of the skin's pigmentation.
What if you just want to reduce the thickness of hair in a certain area?
It is not an uncommon request for patients to want hair in a certain area of their face to be less dense, such as around their upper lip or along their sideburns. Even thick peach fuzz can be unsightly. During laser treatment, it is completely possible to thin out some of this hair. In fact, hair can be targeted in a way that will make each strand grow less thick and bristly, even if it is not altogether eliminated.
Will your face have to heal after laser hair removal?
The healing time after laser hair removal is minimal. Most people will experience a slight redness or puffiness around a treated hair follicle, but the slight inflammation will normally disappear within a few days, and is easy to sooth with witch hazel or other naturally anti-inflammatory solutions. Ice can also be used to alleviate the pink toned skin after a treatment.
If you are looking to eliminate unwanted hair on your face, laser hair removal treatment is one of the best options. Shaving can often make the issue worse and plucking hair on your own with tweezers can be not just time-consuming, but painful as well. Make sure you talk openly with your hair removal technician about any concerns you have. For more information, contact a clinic such as Calgary Vein & Laser Skin Care Treatments.
