 laser hair removal ( permanent laser hair removal or facial hair removal )
Laser hair removal is a technique that makes it possible to treat rapidly and in the same session a very large area of the body, for a longer period of time and gradually deteriorating the hair.
Hair removal on small areas like the lip or the chin takes a few minutes, whereas the treatment of a wide area like a leg or a thigh requires between twenty to fifty minutes.
All manual hair removal methods involve a risk of pushing hair under the skin and lead to the formation of red and itchy "pimples".

 Facial hair removal
We only realized how difficult this problem can be for women after we stated doing laser hair removal (in 1998) and started hearing about some of the experiences women have had with unwanted facial hair removal.
So as this hair growth and thickening process occurs over the years, more and more hairs need to be treated that were not even problematic earlier.
Because as a woman's skin ages, more facial hairs go from the tiny, essentially invisible type (vellus hairs) which cover all of our facial skin, to the larger, visible hair called terminal hairs.
