Laser Hair Removal Chin Hair

Question: Do You Recommend Laser Hair Removal for Chin Hair on Women?

Answer: To give you a basic overview, laser is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction and uses pulsed light to disable the hair follicle. The best candidates are those with skin tones on the lighter side and dark hair, because the light targets the pigment (color in the hair). That is why it's not safe for people that have dark skin because it can cause scarring and blistering with the majority of the lasers on the market.

As you can see for safety reasons, it's not for everyone. Beyond that, here are some other things to consider.

What You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal on Chin Hair

  • Even though the hair on your head might be naturally dark, your facial hair always isn't. With the most commonly used lasers, it won't work well in reducing light chin hair. It's a better option for women who have dark hair on their chin.
  • Another issue is that laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) may stimulate hidden facial hair to grow in women. This doesn't mean that it will, just that it has and it can.
  • It can be pricey. Multiple treatments are needed, so it's not cheap venture once it's said and done.

What About at Home?
