Rather than getting something fancy and new this holiday season, why not lose something that detracts from your appearance?

I know – it sneaks up on you.  You wake up one morning, look in the mirror and realize that your peaches-and-cream-complexion morphed into something like the peach itself, complete with a fine covering of fuzzy hair.

You might begin to notice excess hair on other women’s faces too, especially as they get older.  Just another minor indignity of aging, right?  The hair on your head and brows thins and in return you get more … facial hair.

So what’s the best way to remove this stuff?

• Shaving only works for a day or so at a time before you have to do it again.  If you shave the hair on your legs, underarms, and face then you’ll probably spend lots of time shaving.
• Cream hair removal products from the drugstore are also temporary and tend to have an unpleasant smell.
• Some dye their facial hair, but the color seldom looks natural and it grows out and has to be colored again and again.
• Electrolysis is a one-hair-at-a-time removal and it’s a time consuming, somewhat painful process.
• Waxing works.  Hairs can be removed from under the skin surface, giving you weeks of bare skin before it must be repeated.

Laser Hair Removal

With advanced laser hair removal systems, we can now treat lighter hair, such as the strays that show up on our checks, necks and chins or around our eyes.  Several laser treatments are necessary to account for the varying growth cycles of facial hair, but once the treatments are over you will have smooth skin once again, and time to spare.

Laser hair removal is relatively comfortable with topical anesthetic that can be applied beforehand.  It can sting a bit, but the tradeoff for a short time spent in mild discomfort is certainly offset by the convenience of not having to shave and the beauty of soft, smooth skin.

Many say the best part is saving that 75 or 100 hours of your time by not having to shave.   Not to mention saving money on shaving gel, razor blades and soothing lotions.  It’s far better to have the peach fuzz off your face and leave it to the actual peaches where they belong.
