Facial Hair Removal

Facial hair is a very common problem for many women. They are embarrassed because of it. Many feel less feminine and worry that others might think there is a problem with them hormonally, or that they have traits of a man. Women have tried plucking the hair, waxing, electrolysis, and shaving. While each of these methods does temporarily help, it does not offer them a permanent solution. The options here are painful and time consuming. They may lead to skin irritations. Ultimately, unwanted facial hair can lead to a low quality of life for many women who have given up trying to find something to work for them.

Laser hair removal, while controversial, is the number one method women with unwanted facial hair select. Many women try this in their 30’s or older because facial hair tends to increase in amount and color as a person gets older. However, there can be negative effects to the skin on the face as the result of laser hair removal. There is also the change



of blistering, scarring, and scabbing. These noticeable facial changes can lead to embarrassment as women try to explain how they occurred.

Electrolysis is often tried as a last resort. Often, it may help to slow down the growth time of facial hair, but does not remove it. The process is painful. It requires a needle to be injected into each hair follicle. An individual must complete at least four procedures before any results will be seen.

It appears the reality of it is that facial is possible, but painful. It is not a one time process. It is an ongoing situation that many women will continue to struggle with for the rest of their life. However, technology in our society is ever changing. So there is hope that in the future, something will be created that not only permanently removed unwanted facial hair, but is also safe to use. Until then, I sympathize with those who are trying to hide their facial hair from the rest of the world.
