Can Laser Hair Removal Be Done On The Face?
smoother, more attractive skin
Facial hair can be a distressing problem. For the man who wants smooth skin, facial hair requires almost-constant grooming and still leaves a persistent “shadow” where stubble can be seen. Women with facial hair may feel intensely self-conscious. In either situation, laser facial hair removal can be the ideal solution for smoother, more attractive skin.
How Can Laser Energy Remove Hair?
Laser treatment focused on hair follicles causes selective photothermolysis.
The quick pulses of precise wavelengths of light enter hundreds of follicles at once. Here, the melanin, or pigment in hair, converts light to heat. As the heat contacts the regenerative structures of hair follicles, they become inactive, unable to produce hair.
Because the rise in temperature within follicles occurs instantaneously, the desired result is achieved without disrupting surrounding tissues and the surface of the skin. The effectiveness of our Bend laser facial hair removal comes from a combination of factors, including the wavelength of light, the duration of light pulses, and the size of the beam. These factors have been perfected in the LightSheer laser hair removal system.
