Yes, it is completely safe.
For those who have never been appointed for a laser hair removal session. Let Meridian Spa explain;
Why Laser Hair Removal is Safe for Your Face
As its name suggests, laser hair removal is used to remove unwanted hair from the face, and women are the ones who mostly make these appointments. This hair removal equipment is based on light beam technology, which is completely pain-free.
How it works
It targets the hair roots under the skin. With light beam technology, it heats up beneath the skin to stop new hair from growing. What will happen with that?
Because it is a long-term process, the hair growth process becomes too slow for you to enjoy your healthy hair for long. In fact, some unusual hair won’t come back either. So, this process is that effective.
Which Facial Areas Are Most Popular for This Treatment?
This treatment is popular in areas like the upper lip, chin, cheeks, and jawline. It’s gentle on the skin and works best on darker hair. But here’s a fact: you need several sessions to see great results.
It’s an effective way to keep your face smooth and hair-free. Plus, facial laser hair removals also reduce face fat, which is why your facial jawline becomes clearer and more visible. There is no pain in this process, and more importantly, it’s completely safe and effective.
What’s the Process for Laser Hair Removal on the Face
It’s important to clear that part before every treatment on the body. As if the face laser hair removal treatment is about to begin, your face will be thoroughly cleaned, and a numbing gel may be applied.
Moving forward with the treatment, the light beams can be harmful to your eyes, so you will be given goggles for eye protection, and your hair will be covered.
But before starting the procedure, it’s very important to know what type of skin you have and what type of Laser hair removal will suit you.
