Why didn’t laser work on my face?

Laser hair removal often isn’t effective on fine, light, or hormonally driven facial hair. It can also trigger a reaction called paradoxical hypertrichosis — where the laser actually stimulates more hair to grow. This is more common in people with PCOS, menopause, perimenopause, or darker skin types. Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal on the face, regardless of hair or skin type.

What is electrolysis and how does it work?

Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal. A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle and a small burst of energy destroys the growth centre — permanently disabling the follicle. It works on all hair colours and skin types, including hormonal and facial hair.

Is electrolysis painful?

Electrolysis can feel like a tiny pinch or warmth, but it’s generally very tolerable. Most clients are surprised by how manageable it feels — especially with newer technology and proper technique. Sessions are customised to your comfort.

How long does electrolysis take?

Electrolysis is a process because each hair must be treated individually and at the right growth stage. Most clients see visible results within weeks, and full permanent clearance happens over a series of sessions — often 12–18 months depending on the area and growth pattern.

Why am I suddenly getting chin hair?

Chin hair can suddenly appear due to hormonal shifts like PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, or thyroid changes. Even though you’re born with all your follicles, hormones can activate dormant ones — leading to new, thicker hairs. Electrolysis permanently treats these activated follicles.

Can laser hair removal cause more hair growth on the face?

Yes — laser hair removal can sometimes trigger a reaction called paradoxical hypertrichosis, where more hair grows instead of less. This is more common on the face and in people with hormonal imbalances like PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, or when treating finer hairs. Electrolysis is often recommended for these cases because it permanently disables each follicle, regardless of hair or skin type.

What’s the best hair removal method for trans women?

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal and is often recommended during gender-affirming care. It works on all hair colours and skin types and permanently destroys each follicle. Many trans women start with laser for bulk reduction, then use electrolysis for complete clearance—especially on the face and neck. Electrolysis is also commonly required before gender-affirming surgeries.

Why Electrolysis for Facial Hair?

Facial hair is different — and it requires a treatment designed specifically for it.

Electrolysis treats each hair individually
Each follicle is treated on its own, allowing for precise, permanent, targeted results — even for fine, light, or hormonally driven hairs that laser hair removal struggles to treat effectively.

Effective on all hair colours and skin types
Electrolysis works on every skin tone and hair colour (including blonde and grey hair), making it especially suitable for facial hair where other methods often fall short due to variations in density and pigment.

The only hair removal method in the world to be recognised as permanent hair removal by the FDA in clinical trials
When performed correctly, electrolysis permanently treats the follicle, making it the gold standard for facial hair — particularly when hormones are involved.

"I only had a few stubborn chin hairs after hitting peri-menopause, so I didn't think electrolysis was for me. But honestly, it's been a game changer, no more daily tweezing!

Lisa

I’ve always had dark hair on my upper lip, but after pregnancy it got darker and more obvious. I was constantly threading or bleaching. Starting electrolysis at Liberation was such a relief — Monique’s so lovely and really understands what it’s like. I’m seeing a noticeable improvement after each session.
