Empty Hand

Facial hair is an embarrassing problem. Everything is fine when the hair is small and unnoticeable, but when it is thick and dark it's a huge problem. There are many ways to get rid of facial hair. Let's find out which is the best and learn more about face hair removal for women.

Two main types of hair

Basically we can find two types of hair on human body: Vellus and Terminal. The Vellus hair are tiny and soft (back, chest, face). Used to temperature maintenance. The other hair is Terminal hair. They are darker and thicker. Mainly grow on public areas and on the head. They provide protection and cushioning to the body. Sometimes due to age, hormonal changes or health problems Vellus hair may turn into terminal hair. And this is not good.

Non permanent facial hair removal methods (tweezing, shaving)

Tweezing also known as plucking. A person using a pair of tweezers grips the hair near to the root and pulls it out. You can remove only one hair at a time (it's extremely time consuming). It's recommended to do eyebrow shaping only using that method. Apart from that it is very painful, and can cause ingrown hairs. Shaving it's another non permanent facial hair removal method. It must be repeated 2-4 times a week. You can expect numerous side effects (irritated skin, cuts...). I recommend to forget about this method because after some time hair can be thicker and darker.

Permanent facial hair removal methods (Laser and Electrolysis)

Both methods are doing the same thing. They are shutting down hair growth mechanisms. Electrolysis works by sending an electrical current to the hair root. On the other hand laser is sending pulses that are burning the hair root. Both methods are very effective but they are painful and extremely expensive (multiple visits required, and each visits cost, so in the end you can pay $1500-$5000 or even more for all sessions). Fortunately there is a new technology that has all advantages of mentioned methods but no flaws, and it's perfect for female facial hair removal.
