Are you wondering whether to choose permanent laser hair removal for the face? Every day, a few unwanted hairs appear in front of your mirror. You are tempted to grab your tweezers right away.
However, it is entirely possible to stop thinking about it. Significantly reducing your facial hair is within your reach. So, why not give it a try?
Why choose permanent hair removal for the face?
The benefits of facial laser hair removal
Before making your decision about laser hair removal, allow us to present the many advantages this method can offer you.
A smooth and silky skin.
Here is one of the main advantages: a soft skin. From the very first session, you will begin to notice the effects on your face: the hairs become finer, leaving room for a smoother and more pleasant-to-the-touch skin.
Say goodbye to irritations.
Red marks after traditional hair removal are now a thing of the past. No more ingrown hairs and small pimples that occur when hair grows back difficultly.
Long-lasting hair removal
Thanks to laser hair removal, the hair follicle is eliminated, leading to a significant reduction in your hair growth over the long term. This gives you lasting results and smoother skin over time.
Advanced technology
Our Alexandrite laser, at the forefront of hair removal technology, is suitable for both women and men. In fact, more and more men are choosing this method to achieve a perfectly sharp and groomed beard outline.
Simplified maintenance
Fully enjoy your daily life, as laser hair removal provides you with true comfort by reducing the need for regular maintenance. You can say goodbye to frequent hair removal sessions.
A state-of-the-art laser technology
Your well-being is our priority. That’s why we’ve selected the very latest technology: the Alexandrite laser from the Candela brand, the global leader in the manufacture of aesthetic lasers.
This cutting-edge technology guarantees ideal conditions for your facial hair removal sessions.
With a light beam wavelength of 755 nm, the Alexandrite laser offers great precision, ensuring an optimal result.
In addition, we use an innovative device: the Zimmer Cryo. This technology cools the upper epidermis to reduce the sensation of heat generated by the laser, thus reducing the sensitivity of your skin during the treatment.
Which areas of the face can you treat with laser?
Specific areas for women
Are you tired of unwanted hair on your face? At Epilia, we offer Alexandrite laser treatment.
During your first consultation, our specialists will explain the feasibility of the treatment and recommend a personalized protocol.
Since the face is an area sensitive to hormones, it is important to know that laser hair removal is primarily a solution for comfort of life.
The chin
Just like the rest of the face, chin hairs can be bothersome. Fortunately, our laser specialists are here to guide you throughout your treatment.
The upper lip
No one likes those few hairs above the lip. Thanks to laser technology, you can see results from the very first hair removal session. In fact, after each session, the hairs grow back finer, become lighter, and most importantly, become less and less visible.
The jawline.
The neck.
Have you ever tried waxing or tweezing on this area of the body? If so, laser hair removal becomes your ideal ally.
Thanks to Alexandrite laser technology, the laser beam targets the melanin in the hair and, over the course of sessions, gradually refines it.
Additionally, our laser specialists pay particular attention to the delicacy of your neck’s skin. Therefore, no matter which Epilia center you visit, your safety remains our priority.
The nose and nostrils
We can treat the area of the nose, as well as the unwanted hairs around the nostrils, with laser.
Hair removal specially designed for men
Because you too take care of your body, and your face is no exception. That’s why Epilia centers offer laser hair removal solutions specifically tailored for men.
The beard and mustache
Not having to shave every day is a wish that many men share? With laser hair removal, you’ll not only save valuable time but also enjoy real comfort in your daily life!
During your first consultation, your laser specialist will explain in detail the personalized care protocol for your beard.
The nape of the neck
After several visits to the barber, the unwanted hairs on your nape become darker and thicker. This is the ideal area for the targeted action of our laser’s light beam.
The shirt collar.
Those few unwanted hairs that stick out of your shirt or T-shirt are not always appreciated. Fortunately, laser hair removal can help you.
Say goodbye to embarrassment and enjoy your open-collared shirt without fearing the gaze of others!
The ears, nose, and nostrils
Just like inside the nose, long black hairs can sometimes stick out from your ears. If that’s the case, laser hair removal is an effective solution to eliminate them permanently.
The process of a facial laser hair removal session
A free initial consultation.
At every Epilia center, our laser specialists welcome you for a free initial consultation. During this meeting, they will provide personalized advice tailored to your needs.
After this discussion, your specialist will examine the areas of your face you wish to treat with laser hair removal.
At the end of this consultation, they will inform you of the price for each targeted area. Of course, we offer advantageous packages to help you benefit from attractive rates for your permanent hair removal.
Important: your first laser hair removal session will not take place during this initial consultation. We want to give you the time to reflect calmly and make an informed decision.
Before the session: preparation
The big day has finally arrived, and you’re about to have your first laser hair removal session. However, before starting, it is essential to follow the recommendations provided by your laser specialist during the preliminary consultation.
Here’s an overview of our advice:
- For women : do not shave before the session. Stop all forms of hair removal 2 weeks before your appointment.
- For men : you will need to shave before your laser sessions.
Your skin must be perfectly clean and free of any cosmetic products.
During the session: the process
We welcome you to a comfortable and bright room, where everything is designed for your well-being.
Once settled, we will provide you with a pair of glasses to protect your eyes throughout the entire permanent hair removal session.
You may feel some slight tingling during the treatment. To maximize your comfort, we use Zimmer technology (cold air jet), which has an anesthetizing effect on the treated area.
Additionally, the warm sensation produced by the laser quickly fades after the session.
After the session: some recommendations
- Avoid any sun exposure throughout the duration of the treatment.
- Do not go to the pool (sauna, hammam, jacuzzi) for 48 hours after each laser session.
- Apply a moisturizing and soothing cream to the treated area, morning and evening, for 3 days.
- Perform a gentle exfoliation a few days after your laser session.
Precautions to take before any laser hair removal
Makeup and tattoos
Before each laser hair removal session, it is essential to completely remove your makeup. Foundation and lipstick, for example, are not compatible with the Alexandrite laser beam.
If you have permanent makeup, it is important to mention this to your laser specialist during the initial consultation. They will ensure to avoid the areas with makeup to minimize any contact between the pigments and the laser.
Please note: we do not treat the upper lip if you have permanent makeup in that area, nor if you have permanent freckles (or “beauty marks”).
Tattoos are treated the same as permanent makeup and should not be treated with laser.
Piercings
If you have one or more piercings, no problem—they do not interfere with your laser hair removal.
We simply ask you to remove your jewelry during the sessions. A piercing may cause a burn if it comes into contact with the laser beam.
Contraindications
All parts of your face can be treated with laser, except the following areas: the eyebrows, the space between the eyebrows, and the scalp.
You may wonder why these areas are excluded. The answer is simple: we prioritize your safety. Even though protective glasses are provided, we prefer to avoid any risk near the eyes. The safety of our patients remains our priority.
For the same safety reasons, we ask you to postpone your session if your skin is tanned.
Whether for your chin, upper lip, or nape, hesitate no more. Laser hair removal is suitable for both women and men.
