Facial hair is only acceptable for men. For the fair sex, this is a flaw, and a rather unpleasant one. A smooth face without noticeable hairs is beautiful and well-groomed.
But there are women who, due to certain circumstances, have such a disadvantage. Therefore, the question of how to remove facial hair is relevant for them. The answer to it will be presented in our article.
Why does hair grow on a woman's face?
The main reason why women suffer from excess facial hair is the physiology. During the period of sexual development of a girl, as well as during menopause, the body actively produces hormones that provoke intensive hair growth above the lip, near the ears, above the eyebrows and in the nasolabial folds, on the chin.
Intensive hair growth is called hypertrichosis. It is associated with disruption of the endocrine system.
The following reasons can also provoke the appearance of vegetation on a woman's face:
- heredity;
- use of beauty services that involve heating the face (solarium, paraffin therapy, hot compresses);
- prolonged use of hormonal drugs.

Many women get rid of the problem with a razor or tweezers. But the effectiveness of these procedures will be short-lived - only a few days. Yes, and it is more rational to use it if there is little facial hair. If the vegetation is dense, then it is better not to use a razor and tweezers.
How to permanently remove hair? What are the methods? They are listed below:
- It is possible to remove hair with a laser. The impact of red radiation is aimed at suppressing the functions of the hair follicles. Their overheating leads to the fact that the hair falls out, the growth of new ones slows down and eventually stops altogether. But in order to remove facial hair with this method, a woman will have to visit a beauty parlor 7 times. Only then can vegetation be forgotten. In addition, the laser procedure completely eliminates such a problem as ingrown hairs.
- Qool-epilation is a kind of laser hair removal. But its distinctive feature is that the hair follicle is affected by cold.
- Electroepilation. The essence of the procedure is that a special electrode affects the hair roots, which heats up, and the hairs no longer grow.

Thread hair removal
