The advantages of laser hair removal for the face include:
- Reduced frequency of sessions: to maintain the result, it is enough to carry out procedures every 3 or 6 months
- Quick procedures - duration from 5 to 7 minutes on one area
- Exclusion of burns
- Comfort during hair removal thanks to powerful cooling systems
A full course of laser hair removal for the face pays for itself in less than a year. This allows you to avoid constant costs for razors, replacement blades, shaving gels and wax strips.
The process of removing hair from the face is similar to the treatment of other areas and requires preliminary shaving of the hair. By the time of the session, the hair length should be 2 mm. You can shorten the hair with manicure scissors or with depilatory cream 1-2 days before the session. It is important to note that a cosmetologist will refuse to carry out the procedure on irritated skin, so it is worth using proven creams to avoid unwanted reactions.
Course of laser hair removal procedures
After each session, the hair becomes lighter and thinner, its growth slows down noticeably. After completing a full course of procedures (6 and above), you will forever get rid of regular expenses on depilatory products.
To ensure the most comfortable healing, follow a few key rules for post-epilation care:
- Avoid water on the treated area for the first 24 hours
- Use sunscreen with a high SPF 50 for two weeks after the session
- Use mild moisturizers and soothing products. Choose creams and gels with aloe vera, panthenol or hyaluronic acid
Abstain from cosmetic procedures that can injure the skin for two to three weeks after laser hair removal. Among them: peels, deep cleansing of the face and other aggressive techniques.

Answers to popular questions
Cosmetologists of K+31 answered frequently asked questions about laser hair removal of the face
Why does the procedure sometimes not bring the desired effect?
The ineffectiveness of laser hair removal of facial skin is often associated with the use of low-quality equipment. The market is full of counterfeit devices of world brands that are not capable of providing good hair removal. The cost of such devices is lower, their technical characteristics are limited, which makes the procedure not only ineffective, but also potentially dangerous to health. The K+31 clinic uses only certified original equipment.
How long does one laser hair removal procedure take?
| Treatment area | Epilation time |
|---|---|
| Upper lip | 5-10 minutes |
| Chin | 5-10 minutes |
| Cheeks | 10-15 minutes |
| Eyebrows or between eyebrows | 5-10 minutes |
Is it possible to remove hair permanently in one session?
It is impossible to permanently remove hair in one session due to human physiology. Hair goes through three growth phases, and the laser is effective only in the active growth phase, when melanin is present. Only 20% of hair is in the growth phase, the remaining follicles are not susceptible to laser action.
What to do if blackheads appear after laser hair removal?
The appearance of black dots on the skin after hair removal is a common occurrence, which occurs mainly in people with thick hair. These dots are the remains of hairs that were exposed to the laser and remained inside the skin. They usually disappear on their own within two weeks. If the dots persist, we recommend repeating the procedure or using a peeling. Discuss the composition and duration of the peeling with your doctor.
Can pregnancy affect hair growth?
Yes, it can. Changes in hormone levels increase the activation of hair follicles, which helps restore the density of hair. To minimize the likelihood of hair growth, it is recommended to undergo a course of laser hair removal before conceiving a child.
Can you use a razor after laser hair removal?
Shaving is permitted and is the preferred method for removing hair between sessions. Shaving removes only the top portion of the hair without damaging the follicles, allowing for effective laser removal in the future. Shaving is not recommended for the first 10-14 days after the procedure.
Is it possible to perform laser hair removal after sugaring?
“No, you can’t. It is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after sugaring before starting laser hair removal. This is because sugaring removes hair along with the root, and the follicles may be slightly irritated or inflamed. For successful laser hair removal, the hair must be in the active growth phase and without inflammation.” — the doctor answers.

How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works thanks to melanin, which is present in the hair and absorbs laser light waves. Under the influence of radiation, the hair heats up, the thermal energy reaches the root and destroys its nutritional channels. As a result, the growth of new hair on the skin slows down for a long time.
Our equipment
