Why Does Facial Hair Happen?

Some facial hair is normal. Genes, age and hormones all play a part. If hair growth is new, fast or comes with other changes, a doctor can check for a cause. We do not diagnose.

Option 1: Laser Hair Removal

Laser aims to reduce hair growth over a series of sessions. It works best on darker hair. It is described as long-term reduction, not permanent removal. See our page for laser hair removal in North York.

Option 2: Laser Bleaching

Laser bleaching is meant for fine, light-colored hair that laser removal may not suit. It makes hair less visible. See our laser facial hair bleaching page. Results vary.

Option 3: Shaving, Waxing and Threading

Method	Lasts	Notes
Shaving	Days	Quick. Regrowth is usually the same texture.
Waxing	Weeks	Can irritate skin.
Threading	Weeks	Precise for small areas.
Laser removal	Long-term reduction	Series of sessions.
Laser bleaching	Varies	Lightens fine hair.

When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if facial hair appears suddenly, grows quickly, or comes with irregular periods, acne or other changes. Treat the cause first if one is found.
