A Guide to Laser Hair Removal for Facial Hair

When a woman sees unwanted hair growth on her face, she is not happy. A woman’s face is supposed to be smooth and hairless except for her eyebrows and eyelashes, so, can laser hair removal for the face prove to be a good solution?

Unwanted Facial Hair and Laser Hair Technology

A faint line of a mustache, chin hairs, sideburn hair, neck hair - these are the main areas of concern for women. Waxing, threading, tweezing, shaving, epilators, hair removal creams - women try everything to get rid of this hair.

All these methods need repeat sessions to prove effective. Methods like threading and waxing can be very painful, though they may give more lasting results than shaving. These hair removal techniques also need expert handling, so women visit beauty parlors frequently and the costs add up.

Is there a better solution? Yes, there is, in laser hair technology. Laser hair removal is very effective and the effects last much longer than with other traditional methods like waxing. You also need not wait for hair to grow out of the skin’s surface for the next session.

Laser Hair Removal for Face

Kaya Clinic is the leading skin care center for every skin and hair care need. Kaya offers US-FDA approved laser hair removal techniques, deemed safe for use on Indian skin, like the ND-Yag laser Kaya Hair Free Gentle Touch.

Traditionally, a laser was used mainly on fair-skinned people with dark hair. This is because the laser needs high contrast between skin and hair tone to correctly target the darker hair pigment and avoid damaging the skin.

However, newer technologies like the ND-Yag laser also work on dark skin with darker hair. The slight difference is enough for these lasers to hone in on the dark hair shafts emerging out of the hair follicles deep within the skin. The laser beams heat up and destroy the follicles, preventing hair regrowth.

At Kaya - Laser Hair Removal For Face

Kaya uses two FDA-approved laser techniques - ND-Yag, and the Diode Laser with DualChill tip. When you visit Kaya, a dermatologist examines your face.  Depending on the treatment area, hair coarseness, hair density, skin type, skin sensitivity and other factors, the doctor determines which laser technique will be appropriate.

A laser is a highly effective technique, but you need to attend more than one session because laser only works on hair that is in the Anagen or growth phase. Many of your hairs may be in the intermediate Catagen phase or the resting period known as Telogen. When these hairs start to grow, you will need another session. Generally, depending on the area, three to six sessions are needed at a minimum for the best effects.

The Permanent Laser hair removal/reduction Procedure

You will change into a hospital gown and lie down comfortably while the trained technician prepares to give the treatment. First, she cleanses your face to remove any dirt, makeup etc. The target area is shaved. This is done to ensure there is no hair growing out of the skin, which might cause the laser to damage your skin.

After this, the technician places a protective cover over your eyes to shield it from the laser light. She highlights the treatment region with a marker to act as a guide when using the laser. Then, a cooling gel is applied to the marked areas. She picks up the laser machine and applies the laser in a circular motion slowly moving across the marked region.

When the process is over, she wipes off the gel. Then a cool, soothing post-treatment cream is applied. This also contains sunscreen, which is extremely important after you have had laser treatment because your skin becomes very sensitive for a few days. You are then free to leave and resume your normal routine, but you have to shield the treated area from the sun. You will also be given instructions for post-treatment care that you will have to follow.

At Kaya, the treatment is conducted by trained, certified and experienced technicians, under the guidance of a dermatologist. It is done in a safe and hi-tech clinical setting. So you may rest assured of the safety and efficacy of the therapies. Read Kaya skin clinic laser hair removal reviews on the web.
