About Upper & Lower Lip Laser Hair Removal
Upper lip laser hair removal is a fast, convenient way to eliminate unwanted facial hair. However, there are some precautions you should take before the procedure to ensure the most comfortable experience. First, avoid being exposed to extreme sunlight for a few weeks. Also, avoid using tanning beds or UV-ray treatments. These activities can interfere with the laser treatment. Finally, avoid wearing makeup, and shave at least three hours before the session.
Frequently asked questions
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people find it very tolerable. The LightSheer uses a patented ChillTip that cools the skin continuously during treatment, and sessions on small areas such as the upper lip or underarms take only a few minutes. Afterwards the skin can be red and bumpy for a short time, which is normal.
How do I prepare for a treatment?
Shave the area on the day of your appointment: the laser needs the hair root but not the hair above the skin. Do not wax, tweeze, thread or have electrolysis for four weeks before a session, and avoid sun exposure or a fresh tan, because hair can be treated more aggressively on untanned skin.
What should I expect after a session?
Redness and small bumps are normal right after treatment. Protect the area from the sun and avoid heat, exercise and saunas for 24 to 48 hours. Over the next two to three weeks the treated hairs shed on their own, and there is very little regrowth until the next hair cycle, which is when your next session is booked.
