The best ways to remove facial hair

Below: what the treatment involves and what to expect.

Facial hair removal methods: what our doctor says

Our doctor ranks the ways to remove facial hair, from worst to best. Waxing is very painful and causes folliculitis, because the friction leaves skin bumpy. Hair removal creams can leave skin pigmented, because of the chemicals in them. Threading is fairly safe for eyebrows, but not for the chin and the sides of the face.

The best and most comfortable method is laser hair removal. At Cutera we use CoolGlide, with four wavelengths, suitable for Asian and other skin tones, which slows hair growth and delays regrowth.

Is Facial Laser Hair Removal right for you?

Facial laser hair removal is a short course of laser sessions that weakens the roots of dark facial hair, a longer-lasting form of facial hair removal than threading or waxing. Each session takes 10–15 minutes with no downtime, from about Rs 4,900 a session for the full face in a course of 6.

We use CoolGlide, our four-wavelength laser for every skin and hair type, including Pakistani skin tones, with sapphire cooling for comfort.

Best for dark hair on the upper lip, chin, jawline and sideburns, including PCOS facial hair.
