Are you constantly bothered by unwanted and unsightly chin hair or upper lip hair? Unwanted hair or excess hair can be annoying and embarrassing for many women, especially unwanted facial hair. The tedious job of repeatedly removing unwanted facial hair growth with razors, depilatory creams, and plucking is very time consuming. Many women want a more permanent hair removal solution. The cause of facial hair in women is the result of heredity and hormonal levels. Also, some drugs, temporary methods of hair removal, and some illnesses can stimulate hair growth.
Usually, hair growth is desirable. But when you have unwanted hair growth you may consider laser hair removal/reduction. IPL Hair Removal is an efficient technique for unwanted hair removal. Laser facial hair removal can safely be done on multiple areas of the face including the upper lip, chin, forehead, and cheeks at the same time. At Premier Skin Care Center we use the most advanced technology employing the Sciton Profile ClearScan laser ™.
This laser hair removal treatment can treat all skin types (Skin Type I through VI; Skin Type I is very fair, always burns, never tans – usually blonde hair and blue eyes- Skin Type VI never burns- dark skin, dark hair and eyes). It is very effective for treating lighter skin types and, because of the relatively low absorption of this light by melanin; it is the best choice when treating darker skin types. Additionally, the ability to safely treat sun-tanned skin makes this the treatment of choice for active individuals. Always inform our esthetician if you have been tanning, so that the treatment regimen can be adjusted to give you the safest, most effective experience.
Understanding how hair grows helps us understand how to keep hair from growing. Hair growth and shedding is a continuous cycle through 3 phases. The anagen phase is the growth phase, the catagen phase is a transitional state, and the telogen phase is the resting phase. Hairs spend a variable amount of time in each phase determined by genetics, hormones, and area of the body. Hair in the anagen phase is more susceptible to injury than hair in the telogen phase. All of these factors must be considered when choosing a method of facial hair removal.
At Premier Skin Care Center we have multiple options to remove unwanted hair to meet your individual needs.
