Houston Laser Facial Hair Removal

On women, facial hair will usually appear on their upper lips, the sides of their face and also on their chin. You should first find out whether or not the hair growth is due to hormone imbalance before deciding on a method of removal. If you have hair continuing to grow in these areas or if the hair is very noticeable, you should seek advice from your doctor to determine the primary causes before you decide on a removal treatment.

If the hair development isn’t caused by hormonal irregularity you have a number of options for removal. Many men and women choose to shave or tweeze hairs. In general, repeated plucking affects the hair follicle and on darker women is not the best solution as it can result in deep scarring of the tissue. Besides a few wild hairs that frequently occur, save the plucking.

Things to Consider Before Treatment

Before you begin, you should ask your doctor to verify if you are a good applicant for laser hair removal. You should want to make sure that the person attending to you (whether it’s a doctor, registered nurse or licensed esthetician) is experienced. The three most common asked questions during a consultation are:
Do you own the laser? If the doctor owns the laser, then that tells me they have an elevated level of knowledge and experience.
How many patients have had this procedure done?
What kind of outcome can I anticipate?
Stay away from laser treatment on the eyes (on the forehead and in between the eyes). Laser rays can pierce the tissue deeply, this is an area better treated by waxing or electrolysis.
