Let’s get one thing straight, ladies: women have facial hair. Peach fuzz, chin hairs, sideburns, and more. We have it all. It’s just part of being human.
But another part of being human is feeling self-conscious about things we can’t control regarding our appearance. Facial hair is caused by a range of factors, including genetics, ethnicity, and hormones—to name a few. You can’t really decide what gets passed down to you from your family tree, meaning sometimes you’re left with unwanted hair that you’re not eager to style or flaunt.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we are giving you the control to make that decision. We have 2 options for facial hair removal for women near Overland Park. Between waxing and laser hair removal, it’s your choice how you want to address those stubborn, unwanted hairs.
Want to learn how these options are more effective than tweezing and shaving? Keep reading.
Laser Hair Removal
You may be well aware of how the world of aesthetics has embraced the power of light. Used for skin toning, tightening, and rejuvenating, men and women are combating their “out of your control” insecurities with lasers.
Laser hair removal works best for darker-colored hair because it targets the melanin (pigment) of your hair. This process involves using a concentrated beam of light to heat and damage the hair follicles when they are in their active growth (anagen) state. Because your hair is in a constant cycle of growing and shedding, laser hair removal requires at least 4 to 6 sessions to effectively reduce and remove unwanted hair. At Regain, we use the Motus AY and Motus AZ+. These devices guarantee a painless and quick hair removal experience.
Waxing
Laser hair removal works great for those with dark hair. But what about the ladies with white, grey, blonde, and red hair? We have you covered too! We suggest waxing, which may not give you permanent (or semi-permanent) hair reduction, but lasts longer than shaving and plucking.
This service involves using a wax strip to remove the hairs from the root. It’s best for facial hair, but also works well on other parts of the body as well. While waxing is slightly painful, it’s definitely quicker and more convenient than tweezing individual strands.
Hormonal Issues? Pair Your Hair Removal With BHRT
If you’re experiencing facial hair growth due to hormonal conditions like menopause, hirsutism, or PCOS, we can address the root of the cause at Regain. For some women, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help rebalance hormones, replenishing estrogen and reducing androgen activity. We also offer other medications like Spironolactone, an oral medication that also reduces androgenic hormones and decreases acne and facial hair in women.
Take Control of Your Appearance
There is absolutely no shame in having facial hair as a woman. But there’s also no shame in not wanting it. If you are seeking facial hair removal for women near Overland Park, we have you covered. It all starts with a consultation and conversation. You can either request an appointment to start the process, or try our treatment planning tool.
