How many times should lip hair be removed? What should be paid attention to before laser lip hair removal?

Girls are very concerned about their body hair, and lip hair is something that many women are very concerned about. If the lip hair is very heavy, it will look like a mustache, which is very masculine. Using medical beauty hair removal methods to remove lip hair is very effective.

It usually takes 3-7 times to completely remove lip hair. This is because hair goes through three stages: growth phase, resting phase, and shedding phase. Laser acts on melanin, and melanin only exists in hair follicles during the growth phase. Therefore, laser mainly destroys hair follicles during the growth phase. There is less melanin in hair follicles during the shedding phase, and no melanin in hair follicles during the resting phase. Lip hair removal treatment is not very effective in removing lip hair during these two periods, so it usually takes more than one treatment.

1. Precautions before removing lip hair: Strengthen sun protection

Girls should avoid sun exposure two weeks before the surgery, otherwise it is easy to have pigmentation after laser lip hair removal. In addition, you should develop the habit of applying sunscreen 365 days a year, because even in winter, the dose of long-wave ultraviolet rays (UVA) is still at a high level. Girls should also apply sunscreen if they stay indoors all day (because indoor fluorescent tubes also emit ultraviolet rays).

Specific measures: To strengthen sun protection, stay indoors as much as possible, and wear long-sleeved clothing when going out to physically isolate the sun. If you spend a long time outdoors, reapply a layer of sunscreen every 2-3 hours, as the effectiveness of sunscreen will decay.

2. Precautions before laser lip hair removal: Use fruit acid skin care products

Two weeks before laser lip hair removal, it is best for girls to start using fruit acid skin care products, because fruit acid skin care products can help whiten the skin color, improve the skin's self-renewal ability, and prevent the area around the mouth from darkening after lip hair removal. In addition, fruit acid skin care products can also moisturize and regulate dry and dehydrated skin, making the effect of laser lip hair removal better.

Specific methods: Use fruit acid products (such as Paula's Choice Fruit Acid Essence), L-VC Essence (such as Rohto CC Beauty Essence), Hydroquinone Cream, etc. It is recommended that girls who have not used fruit acid skin care products choose fruit acid skin care products with lower concentrations to allow the skin to adapt slowly.

3. Precautions before laser lip hair removal: Pay attention to makeup removal and cleansing

Before doing laser lip hair removal, fairies who love beauty need to pay attention to facial makeup removal and cleaning, so as to basically ensure the hygiene of the local skin where laser hair removal is performed and prevent infection.

Specific steps: If you have lip makeup, be sure to use a mild eye and lip makeup remover to remove it, but the time for facial makeup removal and cleansing should not exceed three minutes, because too long cleaning time will excessively rub the stratum corneum, and too thin a stratum corneum is not conducive to the smooth progress of laser lip hair removal.

4. Precautions before laser lip hair removal: Avoid using hair removal products

Before laser hair removal, you should stop using depilatory creams, depilatory creams and other depilatory products. This is because multiple depilatory procedures can reduce the skin barrier and make it sensitive, which can cause the skin to darken due to the influence of pigments. In addition, capillaries and capillary nerves are concentrated at the root of lip hair, which can easily cause pain when pulling hair. Therefore, you need to avoid using other depilatory products before laser hair removal.

5. Precautions before laser lip hair removal: Be prepared for multiple lip hair removals

Girls who choose laser lip hair removal should be prepared for multiple lip hair removals at the beginning. This is because hair goes through three stages: growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase. The growth phase hair follicles contain melanin, so the laser mainly destroys the growth phase hair follicles, while the regression phase hair follicles have less melanin and the resting phase hair follicles have no melanin. The laser is 75% effective in the growth phase, 25% in the regression phase, and almost ineffective in the resting phase, so laser lip hair removal needs to be done several times.

6. Precautions before laser lip hair removal: Choose a regular hospital and professional doctor

Girls who want to do laser lip hair removal must pay attention to choosing regular hospitals and doctors before doing it. This is because regular hospitals have better equipment and doctors have better lip hair removal skills. When doing laser lip hair removal, doctors will take into account the individual characteristics of the beauty seekers and make some humane adjustments. Therefore, here we recommend girls to choose regular hospitals and professional doctors before doing laser lip hair removal.

Normally, the number of lip hair removals is 3-7 times. However, if the lip hair is fine, the number of lip hair removals should be increased. The reason for increasing the number of lip hair removals is that people with fine lip hair have more lip hair, so there are more hair follicles in the growth phase, shedding phase, and resting phase, so multiple lip hair removals are required to achieve the ideal effect.

The best interval between lip hair removal is 30 to 45 days, because it usually takes 30-45 days for hair follicles to go from the regression phase to the growth phase. That is to say, after a lip hair removal, the lip hair in the growth phase will fall off, but in 30-45 days, the hair will enter the growth phase from the resting phase, and very short and light small hairs will appear on the lips. At this time, the beauty lover needs to do lip hair removal treatment again.
