Facial Hair Removal for Women

There are many women who suffer from undesired facial hair causing undue stress, embarrassment and low self-esteem. As a consequence, many women hide their facial hair from their families and doctors to save themselves from further upset. There can be a combination of factors which lead to excessive hair growth in places such as the upper lip, the chin, the cheeks and the neck. Suffering with facial hair can have a huge impact on a woman’s quality of life and most importantly her confidence. So this article is designed to bring some hope for those looking for a permanent, hair free solution.

What causes facial hair on women?

There are a number of causes of excessive hair growth:

• Genetics
• Age e.g. menopause
• Weight Gain
• Hormones e.g. Hirsutism, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
• Medication
• Race

In some cases, medication may be the only option available to control the unwanted hair growth which is why it is always vital to get advice from a medical doctor before looking into hair removal methods.

How do women manage and cope with facial hair?

There are an abundance of treatments which can temporarily remove facial hair whether it is the upper lip, the chin or the cheeks being treated. So many women tackle these issues by using wax, hair removal creams or by having a threading session. On top of these treatments, the beauty regime consists of shaving and trimming which takes up a considerable amount of time. Not only is facial hair a cosmetic nuisance, but it burns a hole in your purse too. So fortunately, there is a long term solution available which can help reduce the amount of facial hair significantly and help save time and money in the long run. SmoothSkin Gold is a home use IPL (intense pulsed light) device which offers permanent hair removal and is proven by clinical trials and endorsed by skin care professionals.*

*For those who are taking medication or suffer with a medical condition, it is advised to seek advice from a medical doctor before purchasing the SmoothSkin Gold. SmoothSkin Gold is not recommended for use on red, white or very light (blonde) hair and cannot be used to treat very dark skin.

How does IPL work?

Intense pulsed light is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth.

1. The light energy is transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft.
2. The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle preventing further growth.
3. Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.

Treating the face using IPL

SmoothSkin Gold is designed to treat the body and face safely and effectively. Treating the face takes care and special guidance which is why the new unique ‘Detect and Set’ feature is so important. This feature means you do not have to worry about choosing skin tone settings as the device automatically reads it for you. It is very simple and you can see your skin tone setting indicated by the power bars either side of the treatment window. The device also offers dual treatment Modes, one of which is ‘Stamp Mode’ and this treatment method is recommended for small delicate areas, such as the upper lip and the chin.

To make sure delicate and sensitive areas are treated safely, we provide full support with ‘top tips’ and ‘how-to’ videos along with a Support Programme to help people during treatments. These are helpful tools which are available to everyone on our Beauty Room Page.

For example, before your first treatment on each new body area, we recommend you test your skin for a reaction to SmoothSkin Gold.

How much does the SmoothSkin Gold cost?

The SmoothSkin Gold includes 120,000 flashes which lasts up to 6 years.  This is more than enough to treat the whole body and the face. Most women spend a staggering amount of money on cosmetics each year and here are a few examples of the average treatment prices for hair removal.

Waxing: from $20 a session (for lip/ brow or chin)

Threading: from $25 a session (for lip/ brow or chin)

Hair removal creams: from $9.49 for one tube

As shown above, waxing alone costs $20 per session which means over a year, you would have spent around $240– and remember this is just for one small section like the upper lip. Therefore, SmoothSkin Gold proves to be incomparable with its fast, safe and effective treatments for the body and the face. You can even treat the whole body in less than 20 minutes saving both time and money.
