Facial laser hair removal in women: facts, myths and long-term effects

This little scene from life is a problem for many women who want to feel complete comfort and freedom in their skin, without the need for constant, ad hoc hair removal.

Laser depilation of the face is a subject that has been surrounded by many myths. Therefore, we want to provide you with precise knowledge that will free you from hesitation. Explore the possibilities laser facial hair removal and see how you can regain time and confidence.

How does female laser hair removal work? Phases of hair growth

Laser removal of facial hair takes advantage of the fact that hair bulb includes melanin, a natural dye. The light beam emitted by the diode laser for the face is absorbed by this melanin. This light energy is converted into heat to thermally damage and destroy the hair bulb at its base to prevent it from regenerating again.

Why do treatments need to be repeated? Because the laser only works on hair in the active hair growth phase (anagen). At any given time, only part of the hair on your face is in this phase, so a series of treatments is required to achieve the planned results.

Safety and technology - Prime 3D diode laser

Safety of the treatment is a priority for Wellclinic. We use the advanced Prime 3D laser, which combines the action of three different wavelengths (755 nm, 808 nm, 1064 nm). This unique combination makes it possible to reach any type of hair, regardless of the depth of deposition hair follicles.

Is laser depilation face is safe? Yes, because the Prime 3D laser is equipped with the innovative TEC Thermo-Electric Cooling system, which allows the head to be cooled down to as low as -8°C. This mechanism makes the treatment comfortable and the risk of discomfort is minimal. The method is FDA-certified, which confirms its quality and safety profile.

Myths and facts - what you need to know about photodepilation

Around laser hair removal for women Many untrue stories have grown up. It's time to debunk them, based on the facts and the technology we use at Wellclinic.

1. MIT: Photodepilation is the same as IPL.

FACT: Although both methods use light, photodepilation IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, which is less precise. In contrast, professional diode laser for the face emits a single, coherent beam of light at a specific wavelength that targets only the melanin in the hair itself. This makes the energy more concentrated and the treatment potentially more effective and safer.

2. MIT: Laser stimulates hair growth instead of removing it.

FACT: On the contrary! The task of the laser is facial hair removal through thermal damage hair follicles.

3. MIT: Laser facial hair removal is painful.

FACT: Thanks to an advanced cooling system, the feel of the facial laser hair removal are reduced to a minimum and most patients describe them as a slight tingling or warmth, comparable to a shooting rubber band.

How many facial treatments do you need?

Many patients ask, how long the epilation effects last i does the laser remove hair permanently? We cannot guarantee specific medical outcomes. However, we can tell you about lasting effects of facial hair removal in the context of the planned results:

  • Objective - a smooth transition to smooth and shiny skin.
  • Even after the first visit - hair is reduced by up to 30%.
  • All therapy - In order to achieve the planned, long-lasting results, we usually recommend 5 to 8 sessions. In some individuals, due to the specific nature of facial hair (e.g. hormonal, as in the case of laser hair removal of the moustache), more repetitions may be needed. At Wellclinic, the cosmetologist sets the number of sessions individually.

The therapy is designed to permanently remove hair for many years. This means that over time, the hair becomes lighter, thinner and its density decreases significantly.

"In the case of photodepilation an individual approach to the hair growth cycle is essential. After a few sessions, the body absorbs less energy, making each subsequent visit more and more comfortable, and you are closer to a lasting result." - says our Master of Cosmetology.
