Luise has considered having her female facial hair permanently removed with an IPL device. During an initial consultation, Luise learns that she should only shave until the treatment. However, she has been plucking until now. Is this really the right way? This question comes to Luise’s mind. Shaving? After shaving, don’t the hairs on the upper lip and chin come back even stronger and thicker? Until now, Luise has always plucked. It was painful, but at least it ensured that the skin was hair-free for a short time. The thought of having to shave now makes her very unsure.

Fact is: The hair does not come back stronger or darker after shaving. If you decide to remove female facial hair with a razor, the hairs are cut off just above the skin. This creates a straight cutting surface, which can give the impression that the regrowing hairs are stronger. But they are not. It’s also a fact that permanent hair removal with modern IPL technology is only possible if your female facial hair can be shaved.

With waxing or epilating, the hair doesn’t come back for a few weeks, but with shaving it does – this thought has also occurred to Luise. Indeed, a razor cannot remove the hair from the skin with the root, while waxing or epilating can. Nevertheless, the hair grows back with all three variants – earlier with one, later with the other. If you want to ensure that the hairs around the mouth are permanently removed, using Hairless Skin’s effective IPL method is the best solution. Here, the hair roots are attacked and destroyed. Regrowth is no longer possible.

Those who are considering tackling female facial hair are faced with several problems:

1. The effort: Especially with female facial hair, it’s important that stubble doesn’t show up the next day. The pressure to shave or pluck every day is therefore high. Female facial hair quickly affects those affected not only psychologically, but also in their daily routine and planning.
2. The pain: The skin on the face and around the mouth is particularly sensitive. Constant irritation from shaving leads to redness, swelling, and even small wounds. In addition to the unattractive effect on appearance, the irritations are also painful.
3. The alternatives: Those who decide against shaving face the question of what alternatives there are. To give you a better overview of this, we have summarized the known methods in an overview:

The table quickly makes it clear that the alternatives to shaving are limited. Especially because the face is very sensitive and the hair is visible at first glance, you need a solution that provides lasting relief.

Plucking and shaving seem to be the easiest solution – especially if you want to remove facial hair at home. However, the time spent plucking for a result that only lasts a few days is frustrating.

Shaving even brings more problems in the long run. Ingrown hairs that lead to inflammation and pimples. Small cuts and first stubbles the next day are also worth mentioning.

At home, Luise thought again about what alternatives she has. Her gaze fell on the mirror. The first shadows had already appeared on her upper lip again and stubble was also visible on her chin. She quickly realized that plucking is not something she wants to do all the time in the long run.

She remembered the consultation about permanent hair removal with IPL. There she was explained that the light pulses are conducted through the hair into the hair roots. Therefore, plucking is no longer allowed until the treatment, only shaving. However, this is only for a short period of time.

With modern permanent hair removal at Hairless Skin, results can be seen after the first treatment. The female facial hair quickly becomes thinner and after a few treatments, the hair has completely disappeared. The advantages of the Ellipse SWT technology used at Hairless Skin are diverse:

• Treatment by professional staff
• Use of certified devices
• Gentle on the skin
• Also very suitable for sensitive skin
• Results visible after the first treatment
• No more plucking and shaving necessary after completed treatment

Luise decided to accept the inconveniences of shaving for a short time and go for the treatment. After three sessions now, her facial hair has already been significantly reduced, only a few individual hairs are still visible, which will also disappear with the next treatments.

Luise now enjoys the feeling of feeling unrestricted beauty, saving time, and finally not having to endure the pain of plucking anymore.

Important: The reasons for facial hair in women can be different. In addition to genetic predisposition, hormones or the intake of medications also play a role. Before undergoing treatment, it is therefore important to have the possible causes clarified by a doctor.
