Illinois Facial Hair Removal

When women wish to remove facial hair, they are usually referring to terminal hair, which is coarser and thicker than other hairs. Vellus hairs cover our faces as well, but they are far smoother and appear all but invisible. Women's faces usually have few terminal hairs early in life, and the vellus hairs contribute to the soft silky feeling associated with feminine beauty. As time goes on, however, many vellus hairs transform into terminal hairs, becoming unsightly and necessitating steps for removal.

Most unwanted facial hair appears on the chin and upper lip, though it can also appear on the ears and nose. When taking steps to remove it, some women may have concerns about laser surgery because of the proximity to the eyes and inability to disguise the face in case of discoloration. Typically, this isn't a problem. Locations such as the upper lip are quicker to treat than broader swaths of skin like the legs, which means the treatments tend to run only a few minutes. Patients wear goggles to protect their eyes during the procedure, which renders the process safe for any facial hair save those closest to the eye sockets. Unwanted facial hair tends to be darker and stand out against the skin, which laser hair removal treats very well.
