Female facial hair removal: all methods.
By the way, shaving doesn't make hair thicker or darker. The blunt tip just makes it feel coarser.

Where female facial hair comes from.
Common reasons
Many women naturally have visible hairs on their upper lip and chin. This is often down to genetics. During the menopause, oestrogen levels drop, which often causes the hair there to grow thicker. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the thyroid and certain medications can also play a role.
When to get it checked out
If your hair suddenly grows denser or noticeably thicker, please get it checked by a doctor before starting treatment. You can read more about this in our articles on hormones and lasers and hirsutism.

How the facial treatment works.
- Skin analysis. We check your skin and hair and tell you honestly whether the laser will work for you.
- About 10 minutes per treatment area. You'll wear protective goggles, and the cooling system protects your skin with every pulse.
- An appointment every 4 weeks. We usually plan 8 to 10 sessions for the face. If the hair growth is hormonal, you might need a few more.
- Between appointments. You can shave. Skip plucking, threading and waxing so the laser can still reach the root.
Where the laser reaches its limits
Light peach fuzz, blonde, grey and white hairs contain hardly any pigment and therefore barely react to the laser. In this case, electrolysis is the more suitable method, which we don't offer. You'll get a reliable assessment for free during your trial session.
