Face and neck hair is a common concern that affects both women and men. It can be embarrassing, annoying, and painful – causing emotional stress and impacting self-esteem.
Reasons for unwanted hair include hormonal imbalances and genetics. Patients who typically want to remove excessive or unwanted face, neck, or ear hair often have:
While traditional hair removal methods like waxing, plucking, tweezing, and shaving offer temporary fixes, they often lead to irritation, ingrown hairs, and a never-ending cycle of expenses to reduce the presence of face and/or neck hair.
For patients who want long lasting reduction of face, ear, and neck hair, laser hair removal provides a 75%-90% reduction of hair and painful ingrown hairs, leading to overall smoother skin. Read on to find out more on laser face and neck hair removal, how to prepare for it, and what to expect during and after treatment.
During laser hair removal for the face and/or neck, the laser’s heat energy is absorbed by the melanin of the hair follicle, causing permanent damage that slows or stops hair growth[10]. It’s ideal for treating the uniqueness of each patient’s face and personal situation, including those with hormonal imbalances, PMOS, darker skin tones, and dense, coarse hair.
Anyone bothered by unwanted hair is a potential candidate. That said, here is a closer look at those who commonly pursue this treatment:
Laser hair removal offers several advantages over conventional hair removal techniques.
Achieve smoother skin without the discomfort of razor bumps, making the skin look so much better.
Many men and women use clippers instead of razors due to ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal reduces discoloration and other pain caused by ingrown hairs.
Many patients – especially women dealing with noticeable facial or neck hair – find a significant improvement in self-esteem. The lack of bumps or ingrown hairs means it doesn’t “look” like you’ve shaved. And with certain patients, we’ve witnessed a significant transformation in confidence throughout the treatment process. It’s a very rewarding experience for us.
Laser face and/or neck hair removal significantly reduces the need for constant upkeep. Once the treatment cycle is completed, patients will enjoy long-lasting smoothness – freeing them from the daily or weekly routines of shaving or waxing.
Like any medical procedure, there are certain activities and medications that are contraindicated for patients who want to get laser hair removal.
Furthermore, if you have undergone gold injection therapy for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, you may not be eligible for laser hair removal due to the increased risk of complications.
Due to an increased risk of burns, blisters and scarring of the skin:
Due to risk of hyperpigmentation and a decrease in effectiveness of the laser, patients should wear sunscreen and avoid:
To ensure best results from the laser, avoid:
Patients should avoid:
Shave the area and remove any:
Laser hair removal isn’t that painful of a process, especially compared to waxing. It’s often compared to the sensation of a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin. Any discomfort disappears after each laser pulse.
For those sensitive to the procedure, our medical specialists can provide a numbing cream upon request. However, we encourage our patients to experience the first session without numbing cream to gauge comfort level.
Each face and/or neck laser hair removal session is quick – typically lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. To achieve comprehensive results, we perform a series of 8 sessions spaced at least 6 weeks apart. This efficient process is designed with convenience in mind, easily integrated into the busiest of schedules.
Following treatment, individuals can resume normal activities. There are no restrictions on exercise and patients can apply makeup immediately following the treatment.
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with getting face and/or neck laser hair removal. Commonly, patients may experience minor redness and irritation in the treated areas – similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms are usually temporary and go away within a few hours to days post-treatment.
On a rare occasion, an individual might notice temporary changes in skin pigmentation – with lighter skin possibly developing dark spots and darker skin showing lighter spots. These will also go away. Once in a blue moon, there could be blistering or changes in skin texture, but such instances are very uncommon.
While you will never be 100% hair-free, upon completion of the 8 laser sessions performed by one of our experienced and licensed Laser Practitioners, patients can expect a 75%-90% permanent reduction in hair growth[11].
We always advise patients treating their faces and/or necks that on-going treatments will likely be necessary to keep that hair at bay. This is because face and neck hair growth are hormonally driven. Patients may need 1-4 touch up treatments per year, but this varies individually.
WIFH offers 8-session laser treatment packages for both men and women. The cost will vary depending on the area being treated, with prices ranging from $900 to $2,000 for partial face and full-face treatment, and $900 to $2,400 for the front and back of the neck.
Compared to other hair removal methods – such as shaving or waxing – that come with lifelong costs and effort, laser hair removal offers significant long-term savings.
Flexible payment options are available. Please visit our Pricing page to view our current monthly specials.
