Unwanted facial hair may be a problem for women who have an excess of masculine hormones, but may also affect women of certain descent that have darker hair. The removal of facial hair in women may be performed in several ways; some have only temporary results, while others will have permanent effects. It is essential to identify the professionals that treat unwanted facial hair.
Dermatologist
A dermatologist is trained to perform laser hair removal, electrolysis or intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, which are effective solutions in removing unwanted facial hair for good. The dermatologist chosen should have certification from the medical board.
Family Physician
A family physician can deal with a patient with unwanted facial hair caused by a hormonal problem. The physician will perform a few tests and recommend a suitable course of hormonal treatment.
Plastic Surgeons
A lot of plastic surgeons get training in using laser hair removal and IPL techniques. Nurses of plastic surgeons may also learn how to use these devices. Always make sure the professionals performing the hair removal have certification and the devices used are approved by the FDA.
Esthetician
An esthetician can perform temporary hair removal treatments such as waxing, tweezing or hair discoloration using chemicals. Some estheticians may also have training in using laser or light treatments.
Medial Spa Professional
A medical spa professional may also perform hair removal treatments:
- Shaving
- Waxing
- Tweezing
Some medical spas also offer laser hair removal treatments.
These are a few options when it comes to getting a professional to perform the hair removal. The patient should get informed on the costs, facilities and services offered and decide on a procedure that is advantageous.
