It is one way to get rid of dark pigmented hair. They are done at clinics with a few sessions and they help you get smoother and cleaner face.

They also have to be licensed as a medical doctor to serve or direct a patient. It is important to choose a good clinic which will give desirable results at an affordable rate.
2. Depilatory creams
These sorts of creams are known to dissolve the hair base. The follicles are numbed and they stop growing hair. Although, this method is more common for hands and legs, instead of the sensitive face skin. If you do get a medicated product which can be applied on face, and you don’t have a sensitive skin, you can try applying it.
3. Electrolysis hair removing process
This is another method of hair removal but is comparatively slower than laser removal. It lets electricity pass through a needle and then into your skin so that the hair roots can be temporarily deadened. It works on one hair at a time which makes it a time consuming process. The result of this treatment lasts longer than waxing or creams. On the other hand, it can be painful and costly too.
4. Tweezing

Hair grows back faster, thicker and stiffer. It has been a continuous process and should be used with good quality products. It is also the least recommended remedy because it can harm the sensitive face skin.
5. Waxing
Waxing happens to be one of the easiest remedies for hair removal and it is comparatively long lasting if not permanent. Waxing your upper lips, chin and cheeks happen to be a great way to get rid of unwanted hair for a long time. Waxing could be a bad option for dark-skinned women as they can get discolored and inflammation. Waxing is also a lifelong process which has to be continued once started.
