Say bye to unwanted hair and stop its growth permanently.

The growth of chin hair is one of the most common problems among teenage girls and women. We live in an era where every woman glorifies the beauty of the face. Unwanted or overgrown hair on the chin/face is called hirsutism.

So, how do you tackle increased chin hair growth? There is no way to completely remove unwanted hair permanently. One of the safest and best ways to remove chin hair is by laser. The treatment aims to reduce the growth. It also aims to make it less visible.

 Common causes for chin hair growth

• Genetics or hereditary. Family history of unwanted hair growth on the chin
• Hormonal imbalance. Increased levels of hormones such as free testosterone, androgen, and cortisol lead to male-pattern hair growth in females.
• Drug-induced. Medications such as antiepileptics, steroids, and ovulation induction agents, taken for a long duration, can induce male hormones, causing chin hair growth.
• A sudden increase in the growth of the hair may be due to the application of steroid creams like hydroquinone on the chin area for acne, fairness, etc.
• Menopausal or premenopausal age.

Chin hair growth and its symptoms

• Thinning of scalp hair. When the levels of testosterone increase in the body, along with increased chin hair, you will also notice that you are shedding your scalp hair.
• Irregular periods.
• increased weight gain.
• Acne.
• Skin growth.
• Coarse hair on the face, chest, and back is arranged in a male-like pattern.

Common treatments for chin hair growth

• Threading/waxing. Threading and waxing need to be repeated once a month. After threading, there is an open pore. Red spots may appear immediately after waxing because of the trauma.
• Shaving or trimming of the chin hair.
• Bleaching, to change the color of the hair and make it less noticeable.
• Hair removal creams.
• Electrolysis. In this procedure, a device is used to target and kill hair follicles. It is an outdated technology.
• Various household ingredients, including dairy products, fruits, and vegetables, are used to eliminate unwanted hair from the chin. There is no medical study to support its efficacy, and its application is restricted.

 What is a laser hair removal facial?

LASER stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Laser hair removal chin/facial is a non-invasive medical procedure. In this process, a highly focused and concentrated beam of light is used to destroy the hair follicles.

Hair follicles contain a pigment that absorbs focused light and gets heated up. This heat will eventually destroy the entire follicle. It is always permanent hair reduction, not permanent hair removal.

Why multiple sessions and not only one session?

Hair roots are sensitive to laser lights only in the anagen, or active growth phase. At a given point, not all hair roots are in the anagen phase. So, to target all the hair roots, we need multiple sessions.

Usually, 6–10 sessions are required. You will notice a reduction in hair growth after 3–4 sessions. Initially, the interval between two sessions is 2–4 weeks. As the treatment progresses, the interval gradually increases to 3 to 6 months.

 Things to remember before or when getting a laser hair removal facial

• When there is a hormonal imbalance, you may not respond to treatment at all. The laser treatment can begin after the correction of hormonal levels or concurrently with the hair removal sessions.
• Use sun protection cream two to three weeks before the session. This will prevent burns on your skin during the procedure and also reduce the chances of pigmentation after the laser session.
• Avoid waxing or plucking 4–6 weeks before the session.
• Avoid bleaching your hair. This will destroy the pigment present in your hair strand, which is the main target of laser light.
• The doctor may prescribe you a hair reduction cream that needs to be applied before starting the session and you may have to continue to do so in between your hair removal sessions.

After the laser hair removal facial session

• Slight redness may last for 1 to 2 days. An anti-inflammatory cream prescribed by your doctor needs to be applied for 2–3 days.
• A slight roughness or dryness of the face can be expected. A good moisturizer has to be applied frequently.
• After the session, it is very important to apply sunscreen cream to protect yourself from the sun.
• Avoid waxing, bleaching, hair removal creams, and plucking.

Laser treatment for chin hair is effective in reducing the growth of hair, thus making it less visible.
