How Does It Work?
Our advanced laser system emits a carefully calibrated beam of light that is selectively absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles. When this light is absorbed, it converts into heat, effectively damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. Because hair on the upper lip grows in cycles, a series of treatments is recommended to target each follicle during its active (anagen) phase. Our practitioners adjust the laser settings specifically for facial skin to ensure optimal effectiveness while minimizing discomfort and preserving the delicate skin around your upper lip.
To ensure the best results and a comfortable experience, please follow these expert-approved preparation guidelines:
- Clean and Makeup-Free: Arrive with your upper lip area completely clean. Remove any makeup, lotions, or creams so the laser can effectively target the hair follicles.
- Avoid Hair Removal Methods That Remove the Follicle: Refrain from waxing, plucking, or threading for at least four to six weeks prior to treatment. Shaving is acceptable if done 1-2 days before your appointment.
- Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least two weeks preceding your session. This helps minimize skin sensitivity and ensures consistent laser performance.
- Consult and Inform: During your consultation, provide your specialist with details of any recent skin treatments, medications, or sensitivities so that the procedure may be customized to suit your unique needs.
Aftercare and what to expect
After your Upper Lip Laser Hair Removal session, it’s normal to experience mild redness or a slight tingling sensation in the treated area. To support optimal healing and long-lasting results, follow these aftercare recommendations:
- Apply Cool Compresses: Use a cool, damp cloth to alleviate any minor discomfort or redness after treatment.
- Gentle Skincare Routine: Avoid heavy creams or exfoliating products on the treated area for at least 24-48 hours. Instead, use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
- Sun Protection: The treated skin can be more sensitive to sunlight; continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) on your face whenever exposed to the sun.
- Minimal Makeup: For the first day following your session, try to keep makeup to a minimum to allow your skin to breathe and recover.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Because the hair growth cycle is continuous, a series of treatments will be recommended. Your personalized treatment plan is designed so that each session builds on the previous one, ensuring effective and lasting hair reduction.
