Facial hair problems make one shy and conscious about their looks. If you too are suffering from this problem, then don’t worry. You have come to the right place.

Removing facial hair can be quite painful, since the hair is removed from the roots. Well this is a little sacrifice you have to make to look gorgeous. The skin on the face is far more sensitive than skin on other parts of the body, so you also need to be more cautious while removing hair from your face. Here are some common facial hair removal methods for you.
This is a fairly familiar method for facial hair removal. Sometimes don’t we just beg the lady at the salon to wax that ugly mustache off just to spare yourself the pain of threading? Not that this doesn’t hurt but it is a lot less painful than threading.
It is however not advisable to go for a wax for facial hair. Hair is pulled from the roots of the skin causing pre-mature ageing. Skin also loses its elasticity.
This is a technique that we are all well aware off. In this technique they are using a thin thread to rip out the hair one by one on our face, it is never pleasant. We invariably walk out almost ready to cry!
Threading is a very common method to remove hair from the roots. A thin strand is twisted around itself and then used to remove the hair from the roots. This is the most preferred answer for the question on how to get rid of facial hair in salons. It gives good results; however its effect does not last long. You have to thread regularly so that the hair growth becomes less frequent.
You can also apply peel off masks to remove facial hair. In this type of hair removal, the cream is spread on your face and is allowed to dry out. This not just adheres to the upper layer of the epidermis but also to the unwanted hair.
When peeled off, the dead and dry skin along with the unwanted hair is peeled off. This is a sure shot way to take care of your skin and facial hair removal in one step.
Now if you are one of those lucky people, who don’t really have very dense facial hair then this is the ideal solution for you. Throw in a pair of tweezers in your bag and facial hair can never scare you. Just pluck them out as they turn up.
This is a permanent solution for facial hair removal. In this process, the hair is burnt from the roots using electric current. However, this is a time consuming process and needs a few repeats before permanence sets in. It can end up being expensive if done over a larger portion.
While many say that this process is painful and in reality you don’t feel anything more than mild discomfort. Since, the amount of hair you have on your face is decided by genes and hormones; even the number of sittings required for complete removal also depends on its thickness. However, consult your doctor before undergoing electrolysis to know whether the treatment will suit you or not. For instance, those who have pacemakers can’t go for electrolysis.
Process:
A sterile probe is inserted alongside the hair in the follicle opening. A probe is different from a needle because it a solid wire unlike a needle which is hollow on the inside. A radio frequency is then applied to destroy the individual hair follicle that controls the development of that hair. The technician then slips the hair out of the follicle using a sterilized forceps to grasp it. Once these hair cells are destroyed completely the hair will not grow back from that follicle. The body will be unable to regenerate hair in that follicle. This may take several treatments.
