7 Things You Should Know About Facial Hair

What Causes Facial Hair?

Hormonal changes in a womans body through her life will cause changes in her hair type and how its produced. This is the case with facial hair and in many cases it is just down to a changing hormonal profile with age. Excessive facial hair can also be a genetic issue or can be influenced by medical factors such as poly-cystic ovaries.

Treating Dark Facial Hair?

Dark Facial Hair in many cases can be greatly reduced with Laser Hair Removal giving excellent results.

Treating Blonde / Grey / Red Facial Hair?

With these hair types there is no pigment present for lasers to target within the hair. The only option for people suffering from these facial hair types is waxing or electrolysis.

Ultrasound Treatment – Does it work?

A more recent development in the area of treating Blonde / Grey / Red Hair is ultrasound. Until now this treatment has not proven itself within the industry and our initial feedback from clients having this treatment done elsewhere (not available at Urbana) is poor with very minimal results.

Bleaching

Bleaching is used by many people to reduce the appearance of facial hair. If the hair has to be bleached it is usually suitable for laser, a more permanent solution to the problem.

Does Shaving Make It Grow Faster?

This is one of the myths about facial hair growth. Shaving cannot influence hair growth as it simply cuts the hair from outside the body and has no impact upon stimulating hair growth.

Does Waxing Make It Grow Faster?

In many cases waxing helps to reduce facial hair growth by damaging the follicle through removing the hair over a number of sessions. Although this is not as effective as laser it is a good solution for many with finer hair that is causing a problem.
