Facial Hair and Beard Shadow Laser Removal

Long-term reduction of visible growth and beard shadow, planned around your skin tone, your hair type and your own goals.

Laser hair removal can provide long-term reduction in suitable facial hair, helping to reduce visible growth, beard shadow and the need for frequent shaving. For many transgender and non-binary clients this is the first and most important treatment area.

Your treatment plan is tailored to your skin tone, hair type and personal goals, with your comfort, treatment settings and progress reviewed at every appointment.

What to expect

  • A private consultation and patch test before any treatment begins
  • Facial sessions typically four to six weeks apart, planned around how your hair responds
  • Treated hair sheds over the two to three weeks after each session, with regrowth usually finer and slower
  • You can shave between sessions, but should avoid waxing, plucking or threading

Suitability

Dark brown or black hair is generally the most suitable for laser. Laser is not generally effective on grey, white, very light blonde or red hair, because there is little or no pigment for it to target. Suitability is assessed at your consultation, and where some hairs are not suitable, electrolysis may be considered for those hairs.

Treatment options for all skin tones are available subject to individual assessment, using the dual-wavelength Candela GentleMax Pro Plus.

Reviewed as you go

Your comfort, your settings and your progress are reviewed at every appointment, and your plan is adjusted to how your hair responds.

Before

The same area after one laser session, with only sparse hair remaining

After one session

Beard shadow before treatment and after a single session. Results vary from person to person, and a course of sessions is normally needed.

“The results from just that one session have been life changing. I can shave one morning and then go to the shop happily the next morning. I can’t wait for the next appointment.”
