How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is a hair removal technique using laser light. The laser is directed at hairs that are in the active growth phase (anagen). Under the influence of the light flux, melanin, a pigment located in the root, is heated. Gradually, the root heats up and dies, which leads to the loss of the hair growing from it.

Important! The device does not affect inactive roots, which is why the session will need to be repeated when they begin active growth again.

Before starting moustache hair removal, consult a cosmetologist. The K+31 clinic offers 24-hour appointments for all specialists.

Benefits of Laser Moustache Removal

Laser hair removal of the moustache has a limited number of contraindications and copes with any type of hair. Other advantages of the laser include:

  • Safety and long-lasting effect of smooth skin
  • No pain due to the use of a cooling adapter and gel
  • Efficient for hair of any structure, thickness and shade
  • Noticeable effect immediately after the first session
  • Acceptable cost

Also, the advantages of laser hair removal above the lip include a short recovery period. Patients can immediately return to their daily activities. Since the device acts pointwise, the likelihood of inflammation and redness is reduced.

A course of laser hair removal procedures

A single session of laser hair removal above the lip will not achieve the desired result - a full course is required for this. The number of sessions depends on gender, age, hereditary characteristics and hormone levels. As a result of the first visit, only 20-30% of the hair can be removed. The rest are dormant inside the bulb. These hairs will begin to break through the skin in 1-2 months, after which repeated treatment of the nasolabial area will be required.

Full moustache removal requires 8 to 12 sessions. A cosmetologist can assess the total number of procedures after the fourth session, when a slowdown in hair growth is already noticeable. Then the intervals between sessions increase to 6 weeks or more.

General information about the procedure

Preparation for laser hair removal

Before removing hair above the lip, careful preparation is carried out. It involves following these recommendations:

  1. The length of the moustache should be from 3 to 5 mm. Usually, the hair reaches this length in two weeks
  2. Two weeks before the procedure, stop taking tetracycline antibiotics
  3. Abstain from sunbathing two weeks before hair removal
  4. Abstain from using alcohol-containing cosmetics in the area above the upper lip three days before the procedure

Do not remove hair with wax, epilator or tweezers a month before the procedure, so as not to damage the follicles. To avoid skin irritation, stop using products containing retinoids or acids three days before the session. On the day of the procedure, do not visit a sauna or swimming pool to avoid causing excessive skin sensitivity.

Procedure stages

The hair removal procedure includes a number of stages:

  1. Initial consultation. The cosmetologist checks for contraindications to hair removal
  2. Beginning of the session. The specialist treats the skin with an antiseptic, applies cream or a protective patch to moles and other skin lesions
  3. Processing the working tool. Before laser hair removal of the upper lip (antennae), the laser and the client's protective glasses are disinfected
  4. The cosmetologist and the client put on protective glasses
  5. The specialist applies a cooling gel to the skin above the upper lip
  6. Beginning of hair removal of the antennae. The cosmetologist selects the wavelength on the device and begins to affect the hairy areas with a laser beam

At the final stage of the procedure, the remaining gel is removed and a soothing cream is applied to the skin. After the laser hair removal procedure, it is not recommended to take a warm bath for 1-2 days. Warm water causes increased sweating, which increases the likelihood of skin irritation.

Post-Epilation Care

After the laser lip epilation session, the cosmetologist gives recommendations for care:

  1. For 1-2 days, apply Panthenol or other moisturizers
  2. Avoid direct sunlight for two weeks
  3. Reduce your physical activity for one week
  4. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 and 50 to your skin before each time you go outside
  5. Stop using alcohol-containing cosmetics for two weeks
  6. Abstain from visiting baths, saunas, and public swimming pools for 7-10 days
  7. Do not drink alcoholic beverages for a week

If the hairs start to grow, they can be carefully shaved off. It is important to plan your session carefully, especially during the summer when exposure to UV radiation can be harmful.

Our equipment

Laser hair removal of the upper lip in the K+31 clinic is performed using the Soprano Alma Laser system. The device integrates three types of beams: alexandrite, diode and neodymium. It ensures high efficiency and safety of the procedure for all skin types, including dark and tanned.

Hair removal on the Soprano Alma Laser device eliminates the risk of ingrowth and irritation after the procedure. The In-Motion® "sliding" method provides a constant supply of laser and light radiation as the nozzle moves along the skin. This allows for quick and even distribution of energy, ensuring full coverage of the treated area. ICE technology cools the skin to -4°C, which significantly reduces the risk of burns and makes the hair removal procedure comfortable without the use of anesthesia.

Ray variations:

  • Alex 755 nm Suitable for dark hair
  • Diode 810 nm Penetrates deep into the skin, suitable for dark skin
  • Neodymium 1064 nm Works best on very dark skin, penetrates deep and helps remove ingrown hairs
  • Ruby laser 694 nm Considered obsolete and used extremely rarely. It effectively removes only dark hair on very light skin and is not suitable for other hair types and skin tones

Answers to popular questions

Cosmetologists from K+31 answered the most frequently asked questions regarding laser hair removal above the upper lip.

Is laser hair removal suitable for men?

Yes, laser hair removal is great for men with allergies to shaving and aftershave products. It is also performed in cases where facial hair grows intensively and causes irritation after shaving.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Epilation creates an effect resembling a slight tingling. Thanks to modern cooling systems, discomfort during the procedure is minimized.

What type of laser hair removal is most effective?

The choice of device depends on the individual characteristics of the skin and hair coarseness. For example, alexandrite lasers are effective for fair-skinned people with dark hair, and neodymium lasers are ideal for dark-skinned people.

Can the procedure be performed during pregnancy?

Doctors recommend postponing hair removal until the postpartum period, since its safety during pregnancy has not been proven.

Are there any age restrictions for laser hair removal?

Epilation is performed on people over 18 years of age. The procedure is not recommended for teenagers due to unstable hormonal levels, which affect hair growth. In order to have a session before reaching adulthood, a teenager must obtain written consent from their parents.

Can laser hair removal cause allergies?

"Epilation itself does not cause allergic reactions. No chemicals that can act as allergens are used during the procedure. In rare cases, gels or soothing creams applied during or after the procedure cause allergies in people with hypersensitivity to the components." — answers the cosmetologist of the K+31 clinic.
