What is facial laser hair removal?
Facial laser hair removal at Epilium Paris is a permanent hair removal method that is highly effective. It works thanks to an advanced technology in which the laser emits a specific wavelength designed to target melanin, the pigment that gives your hair its color. Your melanin absorbs light energy and converts it into heat, destroying the hair bulb.
The procedure always begins with a consultation to assess your eligibility, followed by a test on a small area of skin to ensure there are no adverse reactions. Our specialists use state-of-the-art equipment that guarantees precision and safety during treatment. You may feel a tingling sensation, depending on skin sensitivity, but we take care to minimize your discomfort.
Several sessions spaced a few weeks apart are essential to follow the hair growth cycle and achieve optimum efficacy. After treatment, certain precautions, such as avoiding exposure to the sun, are recommended to protect your skin.
Our equipment is designed to suit a variety of skin types, and appropriate adjustments are made to suit your specific needs. At Epilium Paris, we place particular importance on your well-being and the quality of your results, providing you with a safe and personalized laser hair removal experience.
Facial laser hair removal procedure
Facial laser hair removal at Epilium Paris is a precise treatment designed to permanently reduce hair growth. It requires meticulous preparation, follows a strict protocol during the session and requires adequate post-treatment maintenance to optimize results.
Pre-session preparation
Before your first facial laser hair removal session, a preliminary consultation is essential. During this session, you will receive precise instructions on how to prepare your skin. It is generally advisable not to expose yourself to the sun or pluck facial hair in the weeks preceding your treatment. The use of creams and certain photosensitizing drugs should be suspended.
Treatment steps
When you arrive for your session, our team of specialist doctors begins by cleansing and removing make-up from your face. A cold gel is then applied to protect the skin and improve laser conductivity. The treatment involves gently passing the device over the targeted areas, with the laser pulses acting on the hair pigment without damaging the surrounding tissue. The sensation felt is often compared to a slight tingling sensation.
Post-treatment maintenance
After laser treatment, it is common for the skin to be slightly red and swollen, similar to the sensation of sunburn. It’s crucial to apply a soothing cream recommended by us, and to avoid exposure to the sun for the next few days.
We also recommend annual maintenance sessions to maintain results, as the face is subject to many hormonal changes that can influence hair regrowth.
Targeted facial areas and sessions required
Facial laser hair removal at Epilium Paris is a precise method that requires a protocol adapted to each specific area. To achieve long-lasting hair removal, the number of sessions varies according to the area treated and the nature of your hair growth.
- Upper lip (mustache)
Hair removal from the upper lip, often referred to as mustache waxing, is a particularly sensitive area and requires special attention. Removing hair from this area boosts self-confidence. As the upper lip is a thin and sensitive area, laser hair removal is often preferred for its precision and efficiency, generally requiring between 6 and 8 sessions for optimal results.
- The ears
For ears, laser hair removal not only improves aesthetics but also hygiene, especially for those with dense hair growth. This sensitive area requires about 6 to 8 sessions for satisfactory results.
- Eyebrows
The delicate, sensitive area between the eyebrows can benefit from laser hair removal to maintain a well-groomed appearance and well-defined brows, without the pain associated with traditional methods such as waxing or threading. On average, 4 to 6 sessions are sufficient to obtain smooth skin.
- Chin (beard)
Finally,waxing the chin and beard reduces the frequency of shaving, preventing ingrown hairs and frequent irritation. If you wish to reduce the density of your beard or completely eliminate hair growth in this area, allow around 8 to 12 sessions. The growth cycle of facial hair in men often requires 4 to 8 weeks between sessions.
Frequency and number of sessions
Epilium & Skin’s expertise enables us to adjust the frequency and number of sessions to suit each individual and the hairiness of each treated area.
Your treatment protocol will be personalized during an initial consultation, in order to establish a treatment schedule aligned with the specific features of your face.
Advantages and contraindications of facial laser hair removal
Laser hair removal from the face is an effective solution with significant advantages, but it does require certain precautions to be taken due to potential contraindications.
Benefits of laser hair removal
At Epilium & Skin Paris, we guarantee a significant reduction in facial hair with laser treatment. This method saves considerable time, eliminating the need for frequent waxing. Its precision enables it to target specific areas of the face and treat different skin types and hair colors. The process also helps to reduce the appearance of acne associated with traditional hair removal methods, and can reduce the appearance of spots on your skin.
In terms of safety, the state-of-the-art equipment and protocols we use minimize the risk of side effects. As far as rates are concerned, although the initial investment is higher than with conventional methods, the long-term benefit proves to be profitable.
Contraindications and precautions
Before undergoing laser hair removal treatment of the face, it is essential to consider certain contraindications:
- People who have been exposed to strong sunlight or who are taking photosensitizing medication should avoid this type of treatment.
- Medical history, such as skin disorders or certain health conditions, may also influence your eligibility.
- Laser hair removal for the face is also not recommended for pregnant women.

At Epilium Paris, a preliminary assessment by a specialist is necessary to guarantee safety and adapt the treatment to your skin type. Precautions are taken to avoid inappropriate exposure to the laser, in order to prevent burns or skin lesions.
Results of facial laser hair removal
Facial laser hair removal at Epilium offers significant results that can greatly improve your daily life. After each session, you’ll notice a gradual reduction in the number and density of hairs. It’s important to note that the treatment is more effective on darker hairs and less effective on lighter or finer hairs.
- Long-lasting results : At Epilium, we use advanced technologies to achieve long-lasting hair removal, although the term “long-lasting” may vary from person to person. Hair removed during a laser session generally does not grow back. However, maintenance sessions may be necessary for optimum results, particularly in the event of hormonal changes that may stimulate new hair growth.
- Number of sessions required : Most patients require between 5 and 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve a satisfactory result. This number may vary depending on the area of the face treated, your skin type, and hair color and texture.
- Post-treatment appearance: The treated area may show slight temporary redness or swelling, but these symptoms quickly disappear. It is essential to follow the post-treatment advice we provide to ensure proper healing and avoid any complications.
When you choose Epilium & Skin Paris for your facial laser hair removal, you can expect smoother skin and fewer of the daily hassles associated with traditional hair removal.
Facial laser hair removal prices and financial considerations
The decision to undergo laser hair removal on the face involves some thought about the financial investment involved. It’s important to consider not only the immediate cost, but also the long-term savings over traditional methods.
Zone pricing
As the face is a sensitive area with different sub-zones (cheekbones, eyebrows, ears, upper lip), pricing is based precisely on the area to be treated. As a guide, the price of a facial laser hair removal session can vary from 20 to 100 euros, depending on the area. However, it is essential to draw up a personalized estimate during a consultation to assess specific needs and the number of sessions recommended.
PRICE LASER HAIR REMOVAL FACE
ZONES | PRICE INCL. VAT PER SESSION | 5-session package |
Intersourcils | 20€ | 80 € |
Upper lip | 30 € | 120 € |
Ears or nose | 30 € | 120 € |
Moustache | 50 € | 200 € |
Beard + Front of neck | 100 € | 400 € |
Ears + Nose + Eyebrows | 70 € | 280 € |
Cost comparison with other hair removal methods
Compared with conventional methods such as waxing and shaving, laser hair removal represents a higher initial investment. However, this cost is quickly amortized over the long term: the repeated purchase of razor blades or wax sessions proves more costly and restrictive over time. On average, a person spends around 100 euros a year on these traditional methods.
Budgeting tips
Assess the frequency with which you currently use traditional methods and the associated annual cost. Compare this amount with the cost of laser hair removal specifically for the face, and you’ll see how much you’ll save in the long run. It’s also a good idea to discuss potential packages or promotions that can reduce the cost per session. Don’t forget that the quality and safety of treatments must take precedence over price when making your decision.
