Facial hair is a costly problem for both Australian men and women. Australians spend millions of dollars annually on razors, waxes, creams, and depilation. The instigation of laser hair removal techniques by many professional clinics such as Results has meant that painful and time consuming procedures are now a thing of the past.

Many women struggle with their self esteem and confidence when they have facial hair. Laser hair removal procedures are much more effective, quicker, less costly and far less painful than electrolysis and traditional methods as explained below. Most importantly, laser hair removal prevents ingrown hairs or scarring that can result from plucking, waxing and electrolysis.

Traditional Solutions for Facial Hair Removal

Throughout history, there have been many different yet temporary solutions for facial hair removal including shaving, waxing and depilatory creams. While shaving is an “at home” solution for the removal of unwanted facial hair, it is not a permanent solution to this embarrassing problem. After shaving, facial hair grows back darker and coarser than its initial growth pattern. Waxing was invented as a longer term solution, involving the application of hot wax to the offending facial area. One of the major disadvantages however, is that waxing removes facial hair immediately but with hair growth resulting within 1 to 4 weeks. One of the easiest, least painful and most cost effective facial hair removal solutions has been the depilatory cream. While it can be argued that the cream makes it easier to remove the hair by changing it’s chemical makeup, it needs to be used every few days.

Laser Treatment for Facial Hair Removal �" A Permanent Solution

Laser hair removal is the most effective solution for permanent facial hair removal, making the individual look more attractive in the shortest amount of time. The use of modern laser hair removal technologies means hair can be treated quickly and effectively usually within approximately 4 to 8 treatment sessions. One must however, note that the face is a sensitive area and hormonal changes as well as natural hair growth patterns will determine the actual number of treatments required.
