Upper Lip Hair Removal

Lips allow emotions and expressions to be expressed, but they are also a major asset during seduction. Thus, when a small moustache appears above the lip in women, it can quickly become a source of hang-ups and psychological discomfort.

The hairs on the upper lip are unique compared to other hairs. In fact, the hair is relatively thin with a small concentration of melanin. The result is quicker on the central side of the upper lip than on the sides. Patients should never shave their upper lip hair before the session so as not to stimulate them.

Unfortunately, in the case of small peach fuzz, the laser will not be effective due to the low melanin content of the hair. On the other hand, when the hair is dark, it is possible to use laser hair removal. The hair being thinner, the number of sessions to be followed will be more important.

The hair is relatively thin and not very concentrated in melanin. The effect is quicker on the central side of the upper lip than on the edges. Patients should never shave their upper lip hair before the session so as not to stimulate them.

It is required to consider at least a dozen sessions spaced out approximately 4 weeks.

Before any laser hair removal of the lips, a first consultation is needed to examine the pilosity, but also the phototype of the patient. It is also an opportunity for the doctor to learn more about the patient's history and to eliminate certain contraindications that might prevent laser hair removal.

During the session, the practitioner will examine the area to be treated for any lesions. If the hairs are too long, they need to be shaved. The specialist then sets the device according to the patient's pilosity and phototype.

The doctor and patient must wear safety glasses during the procedure.

When it comes to the first session of laser hair removal, the practitioner will perform a test on a small area of the skin to control the strength of the laser. Once it is correctly adjusted a scan of the area centimetre by centimetre is conducted.

At the end of the session, a moisturizing and soothing cream is applied to the lips to calm the burning and itching sensations, but also to lessen the redness.

The first consultation with a physician specializing in lip laser hair removal at the Champs-Élysées clinic is free of charge.
