Men are not the only ones who experience facial hair growth; it is a common phenomenon amongst most women as well. Facial hair can be extremely stubborn for many women, especially if the hair growth is related to hormonal conditions or fluctuations. Oftentimes, shaving or waxing is not enough to keep this growth at bay for more than a few days.
This is where laser hair removal for the face can help. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective hair removal treatments for even the most stubborn hormonal hair growth. If you want to rid yourself of your facial hair, reach out to a reputable laser clinic in Toronto like IGBeauty.

Understanding Hormonal Facial Hair Growth
Hormonal facial hair growth refers to any kind of excess hair growth on the face that is the result of some sort of hormonal imbalance or condition. Androgens are the primary hormones that influence facial hair growth in women. Androgens are male sex hormones, although they are found in women’s bodies in smaller amounts. Elevated levels of any kind of androgen can lead to excess facial hair, also referred to as hirsutism, in women. Some of the most common causes of this hormonal imbalance are polycystic ovarian syndrome, adrenal tumours, Cushing's syndrome and/or insulin resistance.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Without treating the underlying cause of hirsutism, no standard hair removal procedure can provide long-lasting results. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to reduce hormonal facial hair growth permanently. This is because of the way that laser hair removal for the face works.
At IGBeauty, we use three main lasers for hair removal.
- The Lightsheer Duet, which is an 810nm diode laser
- The GentleMax Pro - Alexandrite 755 nm
- ND: Yag Laser 1064 nm
Each of these lasers works by releasing light energy that is absorbed by the melanin in your hair. This permanently damages the follicles, preventing hair from growing back. Although each laser provides excellent results, the ND: Yag Laser 1064 nm is particularly effective for coarse hair, making it perfect for treating hormonal facial hair growth.
Why Laser Hair Removal is Ideal for Hormonal Facial Hair
Laser hair removal for the face is ideal for hormonal facial hair removal simply because it offers long-term and even permanent results, unlike waxing, shaving and threading. Hormonal facial hair tends to be coarser and grows back quicker, making it particularly difficult to treat. Laser hair removal damages the hair at the follicle, leading to thinner, sparser hair growth, eventually leading to permanent hair removal after multiple sessions.
