Benefits of Side Face Laser Treatment
Flawless Complexion
Achieve a smooth, hair-free finish along the cheeks and jawline. Laser hair removal leaves your skin looking polished and radiant.
Precision Contouring
Our lasers offer pinpoint accuracy, allowing us to safely treat sideburns and facial contours without affecting your hairline or surrounding skin.
Better Makeup Application
Removing the fine "peach fuzz" and darker hairs on the side of the face ensures makeup sits smoothly on the skin without cakey texture.
Long-Lasting Results
Forget daily shaving or monthly waxing appointments. Laser treatment provides long-term reduction, saving you time and effort.
Eliminate Irritation
Stop the cycle of breakouts and redness caused by threading or waxing sensitive facial skin. Laser is gentle and helps clear the complexion.
Your Journey to Smooth Skin
Consultation
Your journey begins with a bespoke consultation. We assess your skin and hair type, discuss your medical history, and tailor the optimal laser settings to ensure safe, effective, and radiant results.
Preparation
The area to be treated will be cleansed and prepared. While we recommend shaving 24 hours prior, we ensure the skin is perfectly prepped. Protective eyewear is provided to ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
Laser Application
Our advanced laser technology is adjusted to your specific hair density and skin tone. The light energy targets the pigment in the follicles, effectively inhibiting future growth while leaving the surrounding skin untouched.
Cooling & Comfort
Comfort is paramount at Rose Hill. Following the laser application, integrated cooling technology or a soothing gel is applied to calm the skin instantly, reducing redness and ensuring a pleasant experience.
After-Care
Post-treatment care is vital. We apply a soothing aloe vera gel to promote healing. We advise avoiding direct sun exposure and using high SPF protection for two weeks to maintain the health and radiance of your skin.
Repeat Sessions
To achieve a permanently smooth beardline, multiple sessions are required. These are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, targeting hair follicles during their active growth cycle for maximum effectiveness.
Before & After Treatment
- Shave the Area: Shave the sides of your face (sideburns/cheeks) 24 hours before your appointment. Do not pluck, thread, or wax this area for 4-6 weeks, as the root must be present for the laser to work.
- Stop Active Skincare: Discontinue use of Retinols, Retin-A, Glycolic Acid, and Salicylic Acid on your face for at least 3-5 days before treatment to prevent skin sensitivity.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Facial skin is delicate. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks prior. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily.
- Clean Face: Arrive with a completely clean face. Remove all foundation, contour, bronzer, and moisturizer from the side face area to ensure the laser penetrates effectively.
- Inform Your Practitioner: Let us know if you have a history of cold sores or have had recent facial treatments like chemical peels or fillers in the cheek/jaw area.
- Daily Sun Protection: Apply SPF 50+ to your face every day for at least 2 weeks post-treatment. The treated skin will be highly sensitive to UV rays.
- Avoid Makeup: Ideally, avoid applying makeup to the treated area for 24 hours to prevent clogging the follicles. If necessary, use minimal mineral makeup.
- No Heat or Steam: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and sweaty workouts for 24-48 hours. Heat can increase redness and inflammation in facial skin.
- Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle cleanser and a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the face for 3-5 days.
- Cooling Relief: If the area feels warm or looks flushed (like a mild sunburn), apply a cool compress or Aloe Vera gel to soothe the skin.
- No, this is a myth. Shaving cuts the hair at the surface, giving it a blunt edge, but it does not change the thickness or color of the hair follicle.
- Laser treatment actually damages the follicle, causing regrowth to become finer, lighter, and sparser over time.
- Yes, laser is very effective for managing hormonal hair growth. However, hormonal areas (like the chin and side face) can be stubborn.
- You may require maintenance sessions more frequently than non-hormonal body areas to keep the skin smooth.
- Absolutely. We can contour the hairline to your preference.
- Whether you want to remove the sideburns completely or just tidy up the edges for a cleaner look, our practitioners can customize the treatment.
- Yes. We use advanced cooling systems to protect the epidermis while the laser targets the hair follicle beneath.
- We always perform a patch test to ensure your skin reacts well to the laser before proceeding with a full treatment.
