We are continuing our series of articles discussing the benefits of hair removal laser treatment performed on facial areas. Our previous article covered how laser hair removal and/or reduction is permanent. We also discussed how it eliminates skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and bumps that are caused by shaving, depilatories, waxing, and other forms of hair removal. Today, we will look at two more benefits of facial laser hair removal.

No More Plucking

Women and men alike find themselves needing to pluck wayward hairs. Women often pluck the chin and upper lip, while men most often find the need to pluck the hair in between their eyebrows. However, plucking is only a temporary fix as the hair always grows back. Hair removal laser treatment performed on facial areas eliminates the need for plucking.

Improves Your Self-Esteem

Men with a lot of facial hair and women with thick, dark, or noticeable facial hair often are embarrassed by it, resulting in low self-esteem. Facial laser hair removal can help improve a person’s self-image and boost their confidence, especially in social situations.

We are continuing our series of articles discussing before and after care tips for laser hair removal. Our previous article covered the importance of making changes to your skin routine in preparation for your hair removal laser treatment and to avoid exposing your skin to the sun or chemicals at least two weeks prior.

Nurture Your Skin

After your hair removal laser treatment, it is important to pay close attention to what is happening with your skin for the first 24-48 hours and act accordingly. If there is any redness or swelling, you may apply ice. Consider wearing loose fitting clothes so there is no rubbing or friction against your skin. You may use an unscented moisturizer if necessary.

Avoid Heat

Heat is not your friend, at least until 48 hours after your hair removal laser treatment. You should avoid taking hot showers, saunas, hot tubs. Stay away from steam rooms. Also, refrain from any activities that could cause your skin to overheat, such as exercising. Minimize exposure to the sun.

We are continuing our series of articles discussing common reasons why men choose to have laser hair removal performed on their underarms. Our previous article covered the fact that some men prefer to have a clean look when wearing a sleeveless shirt or no shirt at all. We also discussed how body odor is the result of bacteria mixing with sweat and since wet hair takes a long time to dry, having no underarm hair can significantly reduce body odor. Today, we will look at two more reasons why men opt to have hair removal laser treatment performed on their underarms.

Athletic Reasons

Some athletes choose to have hair removal laser treatment performed on their underarms. Athletes participating in sports where their attire is either a sleeveless top (i.e., track and field) or no top at all (i.e., swimming, diving) are more likely to opt for laser hair removal.

Partners Preference

In some cases, a man’s romantic partner may prefer hairless underarms. When this is the case, hair removal laser treatment of the underarms is often accompanied by laser hair removal of the full arms, back, and chest. Some men even opt for full body hair removal.

All women have facial hair. However, when it becomes excessive, course, and/or thick, it can be difficult to manage and cause issues with self-confidence. One solution to this problem is laser hair removal.

We are continuing our series of articles discussing some of the most common causes of excess facial hair in women. Our previous article discussed how genetics and hormones can cause an increase in facial hair growth. We also touched on how issues with the adrenal glands and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are also culprits.  Today, we will look at two more reasons why women can experience excess facial hair.

Medications

Certain medications, supplements, and anabolic steroids can cause an increase in facial hair growth. If you need to take a medicine that causes excess facial hair for a long period of time, then hair removal laser treatment may be an option to consider.

Prior Shaving

If you ever made it a habit to shave your facial hair with a razor, it can cause your facial hair to grow back thicker. While this doesn’t always happen with every women, it is common, which is why shaving is not the best hair removal treatment. Laser hair removal with an FDA cleared medical laser definitely delivers the best results.

Excessive facial hair in women can be a source of embarrassment for a woman of any age. We are sensitive to this and have treated hundreds of women who desire permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers can perform hair removal laser treatment on the full face or specific areas such as the chin, upper lip, and sideburns.  Our next series of articles will cover some of the most common causes of excessive facial hair in women.

Genetics

Genetics plays a significant role in almost everything related to our bodies, including facial hair growth. If you have a close family member with a lot of facial hair or have a cultural background that tends to have more than the average amount of facial hair, then you are also likely to have it.

Adrenal Gland

Adrenal gland disorders can also contribute to excessive facial hair.  Adrenal glands produce hormones, so if there is a problem with these glands, then it could affect your hormones and thus contribute to excessive facial hair.
