Everything You Need to Know About Upper Lip Hair Removal
Upper lip hair can be a source of self-consciousness for many women. Upper lip laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to remove unwanted hair from the upper lip area permanently. At our spa, we use top-of-the-line equipment certified by Health Canada.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work for the Upper Lip?
The laser hair removal procedure involves the use of a highly concentrated beam of light directed onto the upper lip. It is absorbed by the hair follicles and prevents future hair growth.
Before your treatment, the upper lip will need to be shaved, cleaned, and prepped. By removing any hair above the skin, the handheld laser device provides the best results, as the laser’s energy is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicles at their roots.
The treatment is not typically painful, but a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the upper lip beforehand to reduce any discomfort. During the treatment, you may feel a slight tingling or stinging sensation, but not for long! The treatment itself takes little time.
How many sessions will typically be needed?
Hair grows in cycles. In order to obtain optimal results, a few sessions of laser hair removal will be recommended. We want to effectively target hairs during their growth phase, so some hairs will not be affected during the initial treatment.
Most clients will need 2-6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart. After the first few sessions, some people will need occasional touch-up treatments to ensure optimal long-term results.
