Unwanted upper lip hair can be a source of frustration for many women. Traditional methods of hair removal such as shaving, waxing, and threading can be time-consuming, painful, and often only provide temporary results.


Nina L’Allure Laser Hair Removal is a game-changer in the realm of hair removal that promises long-lasting results with minimal hassle. 



Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?

1. Long-Lasting Results

One of the most significant benefits of laser hair removal with Nina is its potential for long-lasting results. Unlike other hair removal methods that only remove hair temporarily, laser hair removal targets the hair follicle, reducing hair growth over time. With consistent treatments, many women experience a significant reduction in upper lip hair, with some achieving permanent hair removal.

2. Precision

Laser hair removal is highly precise, targeting dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. This precision is particularly beneficial for the upper lip area, where the skin is delicate and prone to irritation from other hair removal methods.

3. Speed

Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hairs at the same time. Small areas like the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute. This means you can fit treatments into your busy schedule without much disruption.

4. Minimal Pain and Discomfort

While pain tolerance varies from person to person, most women find laser hair removal to be less painful than waxing. The sensation is often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Many modern laser devices also come with cooling mechanisms to further minimize discomfort.

Time Involved and Number of Treatments

The time involved in laser hair removal can vary depending on the individual's hair growth cycle and the specific laser technology used. Typically, multiple treatments are needed to achieve optimal results. Here’s a general overview:

  1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, a consultation will be conducted to assess your skin type, hair type, and to discuss your treatment goals and expectations.

  2. Treatment Sessions: For the upper lip, treatments are usually scheduled every 4-6 weeks. On average, 6-8 sessions are needed to achieve the desired results. Each session lasts only a few minutes, making it a convenient option for busy women.

  3. Maintenance: After the initial series of treatments, some women may require occasional maintenance sessions to maintain results. These sessions are usually spaced further apart, often several months to a year.

Potential Side Effects

While laser hair removal is generally safe, it's essential to be aware of potential side effects. Most side effects are mild and temporary, including:

  1. Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling around the treated area are common immediately after the procedure and usually subside within a few hours.

  2. Skin Irritation: Some women may experience temporary skin irritation, such as itching or a slight burning sensation. This can be alleviated with soothing creams or cold compresses.

  3. Pigment Changes: In rare cases, laser hair removal can cause temporary pigment changes, resulting in lighter or darker patches of skin. This is more common in individuals with darker skin tones.

  4. Rare Side Effects: Although uncommon, blistering, crusting, or scarring can occur. It's crucial to follow your practitioner's aftercare instructions to minimize these risks.


Nina L’Allure Laser Hair Removal offers a convenient, effective, and long-lasting solution for women looking to remove upper lip hair. With its precision, speed, and minimal discomfort, it's no wonder that more women are turning to this method. While multiple treatments are required, the time commitment is minimal compared to the ongoing maintenance of traditional hair removal methods. 


As with any cosmetic procedure, it's essential to consult with a qualified professional to ensure the best results and minimize potential side effects. If you're ready to say goodbye to upper lip hair and hello to smooth, hair-free skin, laser hair removal might be the perfect option for you.

Happy man with no ingrown hairs

Ingrown hairs can be extremely uncomfortable. Laser Hair Removal with Nina L’Allure can remove the problem for good!


An ingrown hair is one that has grown back into your skin instead of rising up from it.

Sometimes, dead skin can clog a hair follicle. That forces the hair to grow sideways under your skin, rather than up and out. Or if you cut naturally curly hair too short, the sharpened end of the hair can pierce your skin, causing an ingrown hair.


Ingrown hair irritates your skin and most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved or waxed (beard, legs, pubic region), it can appear anywhere. They produce raised red bump, like a little pimple, which can sometimes become infected and turn into painful pus-filled sores causing discomfort.


Anyone can get Ingrown Hairs


Ingrown Hairs tend to be more of a problem in people with curly or coarse hair. Anything which causes the hair to be broken off unevenly with a sharp tip can cause ingrown hairs. Shaving is the leading cause, followed by waxing and tight clothing.

Ingrown hairs often pop up in areas where you shave, including your face and neck, scalp, legs, armpits, chest, back and pubic area.


Ingrown hairs can be itchy and embarrassing, but they often go away on their own without having to do anything. If they do not go away, ingrown hairs can become infected, darken the skin, or leave behind scars, especially if you have scratched or picked the ingrown hairs areas.

How does that affect Laser Hair Removal?

ree

Hair is made up of 2 parts: the hair follicle and the hair shaft.


The hair follicle anchors the hair into the scalp and is made up of the papilla and bulb, both located beneath the scalp.

The bulb can be found at the bottom of each strand containing the active cells which grow the hair around the papilla.


The papilla provides the blood supply to the hair follicle to encourage healthy hair growth.

The hair shaft is the visible hair that grows out from the follicle which is made up of a hard protein called Keratin and a protective layer called the cuticle.


There are around 100,000 hair follicles on the scalp, which is why it is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day (because there is plenty more where they came from!).


Between starting to grow and falling out years later, each hair passes through three stages: anagen, catagen, telogen.


3 Stages of Hair Growth


  • Anagen (Growing Phase) - The Anagen phase is the period of growth. The growing phase lasts two to seven years and determines the length of our hair. Over time, the length of the anagen stage decreases.

  • Catagen (Transition Phase) - This is the transitional stage that lasts about ten days. The hair follicle shrinks and detaches from the dermal papilla. The hair stops growing and detaches itself from the blood supply.

  • Telogen (Resting Phase) - This is the final stage called the resting phase which lasts around three months. Around 10-15 percent of hairs are in this phase.

The old hair is resting and new hair begins the growth phase.


Exogen is the New Hair Growth phase. This is part of the resting phase where the old hair sheds and a new hair continues to grow.


Approximately 50 to 150 hairs can fall out daily, this is considered to be normal hair shedding.


How does Laser Removal Affect hair growth?

Laser Hair Removal works more efficiently than others hair removal treatment. It is the most effective way to reduce the hair re-growth. In a sense, it provides an almost permanent reduction of hair growth.


This hair growth Anagen phase is ideal for Laser Hair Removal because since it is still attached to the papilla the laser can attack the papilla and prevent any new growth.

This stage usually lasts for about 2-3 weeks and occurs for both facial and body hair.


The specially formulated products and procedures at Nina L’Allure Laser Hair Removal Studios present you with the desired results and will save a lot of money in the long run.
