Unwanted Facial Hair

About Excess Hair

Unwanted facial hair refers to excess or noticeable hair growth on areas such as the upper lip, chin, cheeks, jawline, or neck. This hair can be fine and light peach fuzz or darker and coarser, depending on genetics, hormones, age, and skin type. Hormonal fluctuations related to conditions like PCOS, pregnancy, or menopause can contribute, as can certain medications and hereditary factors. While facial hair affects people of all genders, many women seek treatment when changes occur unexpectedly or become more visible over time.

Symptoms and How Excess Hair Can Impact You

Common concerns include visible dark hairs, uneven skin texture, shadowing, or irritation from frequent shaving, waxing, or plucking. Managing unwanted facial hair can feel time-consuming and frustrating, and repeated at-home hair removal may lead to redness, ingrown hairs, or sensitivity. For many patients, this condition affects daily routines, makeup application, and overall confidence, especially when hair regrowth feels difficult to control.

Treatment Options

At SkinPerfected, we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions to address unwanted facial hair while promoting smooth, healthy-looking skin. Treatment options are selected based on hair type, skin tone, sensitivity, and long-term goals. Two of our most popular approaches include laser hair removal for long-term reduction and dermaplaning for immediate smoothness and glow.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to reduce hair growth at the follicle level. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer, lighter, and less noticeable, helping maintain smoother skin over time.

This treatment offers long-term hair reduction, smoother skin, less irritation compared to shaving or waxing, and a reduction in ingrown hairs. Many patients appreciate the convenience and consistent results with minimal downtime.

Patients with darker hair and lighter to medium skin tones often see optimal results, though advanced technology allows treatment across a broader range of skin types. This option is ideal for individuals seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes fine facial hair and dead skin cells using a specialized blade. The procedure is non-invasive and provides immediate skin-smoothing effects.

Benefits include smoother skin, a brighter complexion, enhanced skincare absorption, and improved makeup application. Dermaplaning also requires no downtime, making it an easy addition to any skincare routine.

This treatment is ideal for patients with peach fuzz, dull skin, or rough texture who want immediate results. It is well-suited for those looking for a quick refresh without irritation or recovery time.

FAQs

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?

Dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker. Hair grows back at the same rate and with the same texture as before.

Many patients alternate treatments depending on their goals.
