Laser Hair Removal

Face Laser Hair Removal

If you are tired of waxing, threading, or tweezing unwanted hair on your upper lip, chin, or cheeks, laser hair removal on the face offers a longer lasting option. At Express Med Spa, facial laser hair removal is performed by our nurse practitioners using medical-grade laser technology to gently reduce unwanted facial hair over a series of sessions. It is a safe, effective choice for many skin tones, and every plan begins with a consultation so we can match the treatment to your skin and hair.

RESULTS TIMELINE

Many patients notice less hair after the first few sessions, with the fullest reduction after completing the recommended series of six to eight treatments, since each session targets follicles in their active growth phase.

Result Last

Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, not permanent removal. After a full series most people keep a large, lasting reduction; because facial hair is influenced by hormones, some hair can return over time and occasional maintenance sessions keep results looking their best.

BEST FOR

Unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin and jawline, cheeks, sideburns, neck, between the brows, or the full face; darker hair on many skin tones; hormonal or PCOS-related facial hair (with realistic expectations).

      Who Face Laser Hair Removal is For

      Good Candidates? Is This Right for You?

      Who it is for. Laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, so it works best on facial hair that is darker than the surrounding skin. Today’s lasers can be set to gentler settings that are safer on melanin-rich skin, so many medium and deeper skin tones can be treated safely by an experienced provider.

      Who it is not for. Very light, gray, or white facial hair has little pigment for the laser to target, so results are limited in those cases. A quick consultation confirms whether you are a candidate and sets realistic expectations.

        I have been seeing Kristina for laser hair removal and am very happy. She does a great job at explaining the process and answering all my questions. I was a bit nervous at the initial appointment but she makes the treatments painless as possible and ensures I am comfortable throughout each session. If you are considering LHR I highly recommend coming to see Kristina!

        What To Expect

        Pre & Post Treatment Care

        Pre-Care Instructions
        Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for about two weeks before each session.
        Do not pluck, wax, or thread between sessions, since laser needs the follicle's root intact (shaving is fine).
        Skip retinoids and harsh actives for a few days before treatment.
        Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and heavy product, on the area to be treated.

        Post-Care Instructions

        Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for about two weeks after each session.
        Wear a daily broad-spectrum SPF to protect the treated skin and your results.
        Skip retinoids and harsh actives for a few days after treatment.
        Expect mild redness for a few hours, then return to your normal routine.
            Facial treatment for hydration, glow, and smoother skin texture during a spring appointment at Express Med Spa.
