The moustache is a very common and normal condition in men. Along with beards, they are often associated with masculinity and virility. Some men find it embarrassing and wish to regain a hairless area.
Conventional methods such as depilatory cream, wax or razor are not long-lasting and cause repeated irritation and skin damage.
Laser treatment is the most radical solution for getting rid of your moustache for good . Hair is refined and reduced in quantity from the very first session, and the bulb is irrevocably destroyed.
What is laser mustache removal?
Unlike traditional techniques that cut or pluck hair, laser treatment treats hair at its root, acting directly on the hair follicle responsible for hair regrowth.
The laser flash is absorbed by the melanin responsible for hair pigmentation, and conducted to the follicle. Under thermolytic action, the bulb disintegrates and the hair falls out.
Why do we have moustaches?
Mustaches, beards and facial hair are generally due to hormonal reasons. Puberty is a period sensitive to changes in hormones.
