Areas We Treat
Upper lip ($100), chin ($100), chin & submental ($150), sideburns ($150), and full face ($350) per session. Brows are not treatable (too close to the eye); fine “peach fuzz” is a dermaplaning job — the laser needs dark, coarse hair.
Ideal Candidate
The laser targets pigment, so dark, coarse facial hair responds best — exactly the hair that’s most bothersome. All skin tones treatable with calibrated settings (confirmed at patch test). Fine blonde vellus fuzz won’t respond — we’ll tell you honestly and point you to dermaplaning instead. Hormonal growth (including PCOS) responds well but may need maintenance.
Hormonal & PCOS Hair
Coarse chin, jaw, and neck growth driven by hormones is one of the most common — and least talked about — reasons patients book this treatment. The laser handles it well; because the hormonal driver remains, periodic maintenance sessions keep results stable. Judgment-free, routine, and effective.
Smooth Skin, Small Areas
Why You'll Love It
Laser hair removal on the face, priced by area from the upper lip to a full face.
Permanent Reduction
Treated follicles stop producing hair — the daily tweezer patrol and monthly wax appointments end with the series.
Smoother Makeup & Skin
No stubble under foundation, no wax-irritation cycles, no shadow by afternoon — skin texture visibly evens as trauma stops.
Fast, Discreet Sessions
From $100 and 15 minutes per visit. Mild redness fades within hours; makeup is fine the same day.
Priced by Area
Treat only what bothers you, from one small area up to the full face.
Facial Hair Concerns We Treat
Precision areas, honest candidacy calls, and a judgment-free room — here’s what facial laser solves.
Upper Lip Shadow & Stubble
Waxing the lip trades three smooth days for irritation and eventual stubble-shadow; plucking is endless. At $100/session, the lip is the fastest, most affordable area we laser — and one of the most life-simplifying.
Coarse Chin Hairs
The find-it-and-pluck-it cycle produces ingrowns, dark marks, and ever-coarser regrowth. Lasering the chin ($100, or $150 with submental) disables the follicles entirely — including hormone-driven ones, with occasional maintenance.
PCOS & Hormonal Growth
Coarse jaw, chin, and neck growth from PCOS or hormonal shifts responds well to laser — it’s among our most common facial bookings and nothing you need to explain. Because hormones keep signaling, plan on periodic maintenance after the series; still transformative versus daily management.
Sideburns & Cheek Fuzz
Coarse, dark sideburn growth laser-treats cleanly at $150/session. Fine, light peach fuzz across the cheeks does not respond to laser — that’s a dermaplaning service, and we’ll route you honestly.
Post-Wax Irritation & Ingrowns
Full-Face Coverage
For growth across multiple zones, full face ($350/session) treats lip, chin, sideburns, and jawline in one 30-minute visit — more efficient than stacking areas separately.
Laser vs. Waxing, Plucking & Dermaplaning
Four tools, different jobs. This is the honest routing table for facial hair.
The honest rule: dark and coarse → laser it here; fine and fuzzy → dermaplane it ($150, with instant glow-and-smoothness payoff). Not sure which your hair is? The patch-test consult answers it.
What to Expect
Short sessions, fast cycles — the facial series moves quicker than any body area.
Consultation & Patch Test
Your provider reviews your hair color and skin tone (the laser targets pigment in the follicle), confirms candidacy, and calibrates settings. A quick patch test verifies your skin’s response before full treatment.
Shave the Area
Arrive with the area cleanly shaved — the laser should meet the follicle under the skin, not hair on top of it. No waxing or plucking for 4 weeks pre-treatment; the root must be present to be treated.
Treatment
Precision passes over your mapped areas — minutes for a lip, under thirty for full face. Warmth and tiny tingles on the pain-free platform; no numbing needed.
Shedding
Treated hairs shed over one to two weeks. The lip and chin often look clearer after the very first cycle.
Repeat to Clear
Facial hair cycles fast, so progress compounds quickly — most patients reach low-to-no maintenance in 6–8 sessions, with hormonal areas holding steady on occasional upkeep.
Post-Treatment Tips
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner on the treated area, and wear SPF 30+ daily — treated skin is photosensitive between sessions. Skip hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24 hours, and exfoliants for 3–5 days. Shaving between sessions is fine; waxing and plucking are not (the laser needs the root). Full guidance on our post-care instructions page. For facial areas specifically: makeup is fine the same day once any redness settles, but skip retinoids and acids near treated zones for 3–5 days.

How Many Sessions & How Often
Facial follicles are numerous but fast-cycling — the standard series clears most areas, with the lip often responding fastest of all.
Faster spacing than body areas — facial hair’s quick growth cycle means steady 4–6 week intervals keep every session productive.
Chin and jaw growth driven by hormones (including PCOS) responds well but re-activates over time — a quick $100 session every few months holds the line.
Pair facial laser with dermaplaning for the fuzz the laser can’t target, or a HydraFacial between sessions — treated skin takes beautifully to both.
How Facial Treatment Works
The laser delivers light absorbed by the pigment in each follicle, converting to heat that disables regrowth at the root. On the face, that means the coarse, dark hairs of the lip, chin, and sideburns — the exact hairs that plucking and waxing turn into stubble, shadow, and ingrowns — simply stop being produced.
Facial hair cycles faster than body hair, so sessions run closer together: every 4–6 weeks, typically 6–8 sessions for lasting results. Hormone-driven growth (chin and jawline especially) responds well but may need periodic maintenance since the underlying driver persists.
Sessions are short and precise — an upper lip takes minutes, a full face under thirty — on a pain-free platform that heats gradually instead of snapping. Makeup goes back on the same day.
