In women, cheekbones can be the seat of unsightly hair. Peach fuzz and little dark hairs, although natural, can sometimes become more visible and be the cause of a significant aesthetic discomfort.
Thus, to say goodbye to these small hairs as laser hair removal is today more and more practiced. Let's take stock of this practice that allows women to regain their psychological and aesthetic well-being
Technique: Hair removal on the cheekbones
The cheekbone is the upper and more prominent part of the cheek, located below the eye and up to the outer corner. The fuzz is composed of small hair slightly brown and almost invisible. In some cases and depending on certain factors, these hairs may become more visible and smaller and darker hairs may appear.
The doctor will evaluate the two types of hair to achieve effective hair removal and avoid stimulation of the fine hair. This reaction is more common on tan skin as well as in people suffering from hormone disruption. The doctor will be particularly careful when there is hair completely isolated in an area covered with a very fine fuzz.
Laser hair removal on the cheekbones: the session
In general, the laser hair removal sessions on the cheekbones last about 15 minutes each.
The regrowth of hair on the face is very fast, about six months versus twelve to eighteen months, or more, on other parts of the body. The shorter the hair cycle, the closer the sessions must be. For the face and the cheek hair, a minimum of ten sessions are necessary to obtain a final optimal result.
In the case of paradoxical regrowth, the duration of the treatment and the number of sessions are lengthened. This phenomenon refers to the growth of hair on an area not treated by the laser, but which is close to a surface which has been removed, it is then necessary to treat these new hairs. It is difficult to predict this frequent regrowth on the area of the face.
Before any session of laser hair removal on the cheekbones, it is necessary to make a first consultation with a specialist. They will then examine the skin and the phototype of the patient, but also the hair and the area to be treated. This first visit is also an opportunity for him to know the ancestry of the patient and to detect a possible contraindication to the procedure.
The day of the procedure, the doctor must respect certain steps to provide an optimal and lasting result to the patient:
- He begins by examining the area to be treated and verifies that it does not involve lesions. When the hair is too long, it may be necessary to shave them.
- A setting of the device is chosen according to the colour of the hair, but also the phototype of the patient. The practitioner and the patient must wear goggles.
- If this is the first session of laser hair removal on the cheekbones, it is necessary to perform a test on a small area of the body.
- Once the test is done, the area to be treated is scanned centimeter by centimeter. A second is enough to destroy a dozen hairs.
After the session, the doctor applies a moisturizing cream to soothe the burning and itching sensation as well as to reduce the pain.
Laser hair removal on the cheekbones: the results
The hairs on the cheekbones become progressively thinner and regrowth becomes scarce. At the end of the treatment, approximately 90% of the hairs do not regrow. However, annual maintenance sessions are expected to keep the benefits of laser hair removal.

Hi Tammy,
you can have laser hair removal and it may actually help reduce them! The only thing is, we need to make sure that the medication you are taking for it does not cause photosensitivity.
