You invest time into maintaining your facial hair, shaping your beard according to your specific tastes and relishing the final effect. But just how much time do you devote to removing stray hairs and shaping your beard? There may be a way to spend less energy chasing after the straggling hairs on your chin and cheeks in your pursuit of the perfectly groomed beard.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal, or LHR, is a permanent hair reduction method that can be safely used nearly anywhere on the face or body. The innovative cosmetic laser treatment works by targeting the hair follicles beneath the skin.
By disabling follicles that are in the active growth phase, laser hair removal ensures that zapped hair won’t grow back.
For facial hair, a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart may be all you need to rid yourself of stray facial hairs.
Say Goodbye to Ingrown Hairs
Stray hairs can crop up along the neck, the tops of cheeks and around the outer borders of your beard or mustache. In an attempt to shape their beard, many men shave or pluck these hairs. Unfortunately, these methods of hair removal can often result in ingrown hairs, which can be unsightly or painful.
LHR for a Smooth Complexion
As shaved hair grows back, it can also be stubbly, detracting from the skin’s overall appearance. Laser hair removal for men can target specific areas on the face to permanently remove hairs for a smooth complexion that requires no more shaving, trimming or tweezing. For men, common areas of the face for LHR are the neckline, back of the neck and above the beard.
Whether you want to zap all the hair on your face or simply make facial hair easier to maintain, laser hair removal may be the right option for you.
