Unwanted hair that is sufficiently dark and thick can be safely removed by laser. The number and thickness of hairs will gradually decrease with repeated treatments. On average, 6-8 sessions are required, but this varies greatly depending on the hair and skin. 6-8 weeks off in between cycles.
Laser For Hair Removal On Chin
With laser hair removal for the face, unwanted hair is eliminated specifically from the area targeted. Waxing, threading, tweezing, and shaving are all expensive methods that many women (and some men) use to remove unsightly facial hair. Because of this, each of our UK clinics provides the most effective and safest facial laser hair removal available.
Laser hair removal on the face can be adapted to target specific regions you wish to target, such as a woman’s beard hair due to hormonal imbalances or a man’s eyebrows that are too wide and need to be decreased. Many men visit Este Medical to have their beards shaped with laser hair removal, while many women visit for chin laser hair removal.

During the facial laser hair removal treatment, the laser focuses on the melanin within the hair follicles whilst the entire shaft of hair is heated, leaving it to be weakened or destroyed. This laser wavelength is absorbed by the hair follicle, which prevents the laser from reaching deeper into the skin and causing damage.
Unlike waxing and other hair removal methods, this method attacks the hair follicle’s structure to the root, disrupting its ability to grow again. Our laser hair removal for face treatment is completely safe and pain-free, leaving you with long-lasting results that are free from the irritation and redness associated with other hair removal methods.
When you undergo laser facial hair removal, the laser will target hair in the active growth stage. As laser hair removal is a repeated treatment, you will need to have multiple sessions to ensure that all of the hairs are targeted. This is because not all of the hair follicles will be in the active growth stage at the same time.

Laser Hair Removal For Face At-Home
My favourite is the Iluminage Precise Touch home IPL because it’s easy and safe to use for ALL skin tones, you can pluck your hairs before zapping, and it works on fair hairs too. The cordless Panasonic ES-WH90 is next with superb quality and an ergonomic design, plus it doubles as an IPL complexion brightening tool. And finally, the cordless Tria 4X laser boasts precise coverage and the strongest hair zapping power for your longest-lasting results.
These devices are the easiest of all devices I’ve tested to flash around your facial contours. They’re also super choices for other small areas like underarms and bikini line (excluding the Tria 4X for an extensive bikini line). But they’re not good choices for large areas like legs because the sessions take ages.
Other choices for your face
There are several more IPL devices you can buy to use on your face. And although not quite as precise and easy as my top picks, they’re still easy enough and very effective. And most of these are also excellent choices if you want to zap large areas like legs too (check the table below). So, if you’re considering one of these, rest assured they’re fine choices.
