Above the upper lip, the hairs are fine and therefore relatively difficult and laborious to remove with conventional depilatory methods. It is in this context that laser down hair removal has now become the treatment of choice for those looking for an effective and long-lasting solution to hair .
At Skin Marceau in Paris, laser hair removal is a medical act programmed and supervised by dermatologists .
In young women as in young men from puberty, fine hairs and relatively low melanin concentration appear above the upper lip.
Often a source of discomfort, this mustache can be thin or thicker depending on the person. For some patients, it can be a real complex.

Lip laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses the principle of laser to remove unwanted hair from the lip area.
The laser lip hair removal process works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle. The pigment absorbs the laser beam, which leads to the destruction of the hair follicle.
Thanks to this technique, conventional techniques such as wax, razor , depilatory cream or discoloration are finished. In addition to being transient, these can cause possible adverse effects such as burning, folliculitis , itching or unsightly regrowth.
During your initial consultation, we make sure you are a good candidate for laser down hair removal. Indeed, it is essential to note that if your hair is white , gray or red , laser hair removal is probably not indicated: since the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, this technique would not be effective in your case. . Brown and black hair provide the best results in terms of laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a medical treatment and we insist on the importance of informing our patients beforehand.
Our dermatologists first check your eligibility for treatment. Before each session, it is your doctor who decides and determines the appropriate parameters for the use of the laser. He can carry out the laser scan himself or entrust it to a qualified nurse, who must always act under the direct and effective responsibility of the dermatologist. The physical presence of the dermatologist is required at Clinique Skin Marceau in Paris and he is ready to intervene at any time.
Our clinic uses the Lutronic Clarity II brand , a world reference in permanent hair removal. The Alexandrite laser is ideal for light phototypes , the Nd Yag laser is for dark to dark skin types IV, V and VI.
Compared to the rest of hair removal methods, laser hair removal is most often perceived as unpleasant or embarrassing, but not painful , although the pain scales vary depending on the patient. An anesthetic cream can be applied before hair removal.
Hair removal takes a few minutes (about fifteen minutes) and the area is then sensitive and reddened a few hours after the treatment. A soothing cream at the end of the act will soothe these possible irritations.
It is essential to protect your skin from sun exposure as well as heat sources such as saunas , hammams and stays at sea and/or swimming pool during the days following your laser hair removal. Physical activities will also be avoided. This guarantees optimal follow-up and ideal healing.
During the intervals between your sessions, do not epilate the area treated by the laser. This would disrupt the hair growth cycle and thus the results of laser hair removal .
For the down area , it generally takes between 8 and 10 laser hair removal sessions to obtain satisfactory results. These sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Certain criteria make it possible to check the effectiveness of laser hair removal : the hair becomes increasingly fine and rare and the period of regrowth is increasingly long.
