Why didn’t laser work on my face?

Laser hair removal often isn’t effective on fine, light, or hormonally driven facial hair. It can also trigger a reaction called paradoxical hypertrichosis — where the laser actually stimulates more hair to grow. This is more common in people with PCOS, menopause, perimenopause, or darker skin types. Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal on the face, regardless of hair or skin type.

What is electrolysis and how does it work?

Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal. A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle and a small burst of energy destroys the growth centre — permanently disabling the follicle. It works on all hair colours and skin types, including hormonal and facial hair.

Is electrolysis painful?

Electrolysis can feel like a tiny pinch or warmth, but it’s generally very tolerable. Most clients are surprised by how manageable it feels — especially with newer technology and proper technique. Sessions are customised to your comfort.

How long does electrolysis take?

Electrolysis is a process because each hair must be treated individually and at the right growth stage. Most clients see visible results within weeks, and full permanent clearance happens over a series of sessions — often 12–18 months depending on the area and growth pattern.

Why am I suddenly getting chin hair?

Chin hair can suddenly appear due to hormonal shifts like PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, or thyroid changes. Even though you’re born with all your follicles, hormones can activate dormant ones — leading to new, thicker hairs. Electrolysis permanently treats these activated follicles.

Can laser hair removal cause more hair growth on the face?

Yes — laser hair removal can sometimes trigger a reaction called paradoxical hypertrichosis, where more hair grows instead of less. This is more common on the face and in people with hormonal imbalances like PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, or when treating finer hairs. Electrolysis is often recommended for these cases because it permanently disables each follicle, regardless of hair or skin type.

What’s the best hair removal method for trans women?

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal and is often recommended during gender-affirming care. It works on all hair colours and skin types and permanently destroys each follicle. Many trans women start with laser for bulk reduction, then use electrolysis for complete clearance—especially on the face and neck. Electrolysis is also commonly required before gender-affirming surgeries.

Self-care that lasts a lifetime…

You’re Not Alone—70% of Women Deal With Unwanted Facial Hair (So Did I)

Facial hair is incredibly common — especially during perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, pregnancy and hormonal changes — but hardly anyone talks about it.

That’s why it can feel so isolating and embarrassing. I know, because I went through the same thing. Tweezing, hiding regrowth, hoping no one noticed — thinking I was the only one.

Once I understood the science behind hormonal facial hair and discovered electrolysis, everything changed. It relieved me of the annoying plucking and gave me real confidence back.

I created Liberation Electrolysis to offer other women that same sense of relief — in a private, calm space where facial hair isn’t embarrassing, unusual, or something to hide.

Because addressing unwanted hair shouldn’t feel shameful. It should feel empowering — a simple, positive part of your self-care routine.

This isn’t a beauty add-on. It’s self-care with real impact.

"I only had a few stubborn chin hairs after hitting peri-menopause, so I didn't think electrolysis was for me. But honestly, it's been a game changer, no more daily tweezing!

Lisa
I’ve always had dark hair on my upper lip, but after pregnancy it got darker and more obvious. I was constantly threading or bleaching. Starting electrolysis at Liberation was such a relief — Monique’s so lovely and really understands what it’s like. I’m seeing a noticeable improvement after each session.

Katie
"I hesitated to do electrolysis because I had heard it's really slow and painful but I started seeing results after my first session and the pain was less than plucking, so pleased I started"

Gemma
“I was so tired of the constant upkeep. Monique made the whole process easy and reassuring - now I genuinely forget I ever worried about it”
