We’ve seen so many clients visit us at Milan Laser because they’re sick and tired of dealing with unwanted facial hair. They’re looking for an alternative with lasting results because they can’t get it with shaving, waxing, or other outdated hair removal methods. 

Many times, clients visit us because the hair is more visible than they’d prefer. Other times it’s because they’re over the unwanted side effects of removing hair in the area like irritation, stubble, and ingrown hairs.

This is always a conversation we’re happy to have. Clients prefer a long-term solution that minimizes the frustration of visible hair or side effects in the area. That’s why laser hair removal is such a practical solution. You can rid yourself of lip hair and boost your confidence at the same time.

Laser Light to the Rescue: Understanding Laser Hair Removal

So why have so many clients trusted us with their upper lip hair removal? Because laser hair removal can address the issue at the root of the problem.

Our lasers work by targeting and destroying the follicle, disrupting its growth cycle. Our clients’ hair-free journey begins with treatments every five weeks, and many begin to see results as soon as after the first treatment. Hair begins to fall out, and all that’s left is smooth, hair-free skin without any razor burn and ingrown hairs.

“As people get older and get more facial hair, the upper lip becomes a popular area,” said Milan Laser Clinical Support Nurse Anne L. “A lot of the older female clients that come in want to get it treated because they can’t see as well and don’t want to tweeze them anymore.

“There’s also people who transition from male to female and want to not have facial hair and feel comfortable in their own body. It helps give them confidence to live as their authentic self.”

Your hair-free journey will be guided by medically based professionals, which means you’re in the best hands possible to remain hair-free without the risk of complications.

The Alternatives: Other Upper Lip Hair Removal Methods

If you’re not yet ready for laser hair removal and are hoping for similar results with other methods, tread lightly.

Beyond just shaving, other common temporary methods to address upper lip hair include:

• Waxing: Hot wax is applied to the skin before a strip is pressed on the wax. Once the wax solidifies, the strip is pulled, ripping the hairs from the skin.
• Threading: A thread is twisted into a string and plucks the follicle. It’s a common method for hair removal on smaller areas of the body.
• Bleaching: The hair’s melanin is broken down or the hair’s pigment is lightened. Typically, hydrogen peroxide is used to lighten the hair.
