Unwanted Facial Hair: Smooth Skin Made Simple

Dealing with unwanted facial hair can be a daily frustration. Whether it’s upper lip fuzz, chin stubble, or sideburns, these fine or coarse hairs can undermine your confidence and complicate your skincare routine. Traditional methods like waxing or shaving may offer quick fixes, but they often lead to irritation, breakouts, and ingrown hairs.

At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we offer expert solutions to remove facial hair safely and effectively. With advanced laser technology and a personalized treatment plan, you can enjoy long-term results and renewed confidence—without the hassle of daily maintenance.

Expect Smooth, Long-Lasting Results

Laser hair removal for the face delivers visible improvement after just a few treatments. By targeting the hair follicle directly, the laser disrupts growth at its source. Over time, you’ll notice finer, slower regrowth, reduced ingrown hairs, and smoother skin overall. With a series of sessions, results become long-term and maintenance is minimal.

The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal

The laser emits concentrated light absorbed by the melanin in hair strands. That energy travels to the follicle, damaging it to prevent regrowth. With consistent treatments, you’ll notice slower and finer regrowth until hair is significantly reduced or gone. For optimal results, we tailor settings based on your skin type.

Pair your laser facial hair removal with a chemical peel to reduce hyperpigmentation or a Hydrafacial for deep cleansing. These combinations improve skin clarity and texture while keeping your routine simple and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is facial hair removal safe for my face?

Yes, our systems are FDA-approved and safe for all skin types when performed by experienced professionals.
You may feel mild discomfort—often compared to a rubber band snap—but most clients tolerate it well.
Most people see optimal results after 6–12 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Yes, but wait at least 24 hours to allow any redness or sensitivity to subside.
It depends on the severity. Mild acne usually isn’t a problem, but active, inflamed breakouts may need to heal first. Your technician will assess your skin and adjust treatment accordingly.
No, but laser hair removal offers long-term reduction, not permanent removal. Most clients enjoy 80–90% hair reduction, with occasional maintenance sessions to keep skin smooth and hair-free.
