Facial Hair Laser Removal in Aurora: Smooth Skin Without the Daily Routine
If you shave, thread or wax your face every week and the hair is back before you have finished the job, laser hair removal is worth a proper look. At Glow Med Clinic in Aurora, we treat the upper lip, chin, jawline, cheeks, sideburns, neck and full face with a diode laser that reduces hair growth over a course of sessions. Your first step is a free consultation, so you know what to expect for your own skin and hair before you spend anything.
Facial hair is also the area where people feel the most self conscious, so we take a calm, private and unhurried approach. Women and men both book with us, for reasons ranging from stubborn chin hairs to a cleaner beard line.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Hair gets its colour from melanin. The laser sends a short pulse of light that the pigment in the hair absorbs and turns into heat. That heat damages the follicle, the small pocket in the skin that grows the hair, so it grows back finer and more slowly, and eventually often not at all.
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only works on follicles in the active growth stage. At any moment, only a portion of your hairs are in that stage, which is why a single session is never enough. Several sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, catch each group as it becomes active.
The Laser We Use
We use the DiolazeXL by InMode, a diode laser with built in cooling that protects the skin surface while the pulse treats the follicle. The cooling is the reason most clients describe the treatment as manageable even on sensitive facial areas. Your treatment settings are chosen for your skin tone and hair type, which we check at your consultation.
Areas of the Face We Treat
- Upper lip. One of the most requested areas. A very quick treatment.
- Chin. Common for stubborn, coarse hairs that return fast after plucking or waxing.
- Jawline and cheeks. Useful for fine, darker hair that shows in strong light.
- Sideburns and between the brows. Tidy edges without repeated threading.
- Neck. Treated on its own or together with the chin and jawline.
- Full face. The best value if you are treating several areas.
- Men’s beard shaping. Cleaner lines on the cheeks and neck for men who want a defined shape without daily upkeep.

How Much Does Facial Laser Hair Removal Cost in Aurora?
Pricing depends on the area. The upper lip, chin and neck are $60 per session each, and a full face is $100. Booking a package of six sessions earns 15% off. You can see every price on our price list, and your free consultation will confirm the exact plan and cost for you.
What to Expect During Your Session
Facial sessions are short, often under 20 minutes depending on the areas. A typical visit goes like this:
- Consultation. We look at your skin tone, hair colour and thickness, ask about your health and medications, and explain what results are realistic.
- Cleansing. The area is cleaned so there is no makeup or oil on the skin.
- Laser pulses. Short pulses are applied to the area while the device cools the skin.
- Soothing. A calming gel is applied afterwards, and we go through your aftercare.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe a quick snap or a flash of warmth, like a rubber band, and the upper lip is usually the most sensitive spot. The cooling helps, and each pulse is over in a moment. If you are nervous, tell us at the start and we will adjust the pace.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Most people need around six to eight sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to see a strong reduction. Facial hair often needs a little longer than the body, because hormones can keep waking up new follicles in this area. Some clients add an occasional maintenance session once or twice a year. Your nurse will give you a personal estimate at your consultation.
You will usually notice the hair thinning and slowing down after the first few sessions. Shedding of treated hairs over the following weeks is normal and often mistaken for regrowth.
Who Is Laser Hair Removal Best For?
Laser works best when the hair is darker than the surrounding skin, because that is what the laser looks for. It suits people with:
- Dark or coarse facial hair that grows back quickly
- Ingrown hairs and razor bumps from shaving or waxing
- Sensitive skin that reacts to waxing or threading
- Stubborn hairs on the chin or jawline
We should be honest about the limits. Grey, white and very light blond hair has little pigment, so the laser cannot see it and results are usually poor. If your hair is mostly light, we will tell you at the consultation, rather than book treatments that will not help.
A note on sudden or heavy facial hair growth
If you have noticed a sudden increase in facial hair, or it comes with other changes such as irregular periods, it is worth speaking to your doctor first. Hormonal changes can be behind it, and laser treats the hair, not the cause. Laser can still be a helpful part of managing it once you have been checked.
How to Prepare
- Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning before your session. Tanned skin raises the risk of side effects.
- Stop waxing, threading and plucking before treatment. The laser needs the hair root in place. We will tell you the exact window at your consultation.
- Shave the area about 24 hours before your session.
- Come with clean skin and no makeup on the area.
- Pause retinol and exfoliating products for a few days beforehand.
Aftercare
Your skin may look slightly pink and feel warm for a few hours. That settles quickly. To help it:
- Use a gentle moisturizer or aloe vera gel.
- Apply SPF 50 every morning, and keep the area out of direct sun.
- Skip hot showers, saunas and heavy workouts for 24 to 48 hours.
- Avoid scrubs and exfoliating products for a few days.
- Do not wax, thread or pluck between sessions. Shaving is fine.

Laser vs Shaving, Threading and Waxing
Shaving, threading and waxing all work for a few days to a few weeks, and you repeat them forever. They can also cause ingrown hairs and irritation. Laser takes more time upfront, with a course of sessions, but it reduces how much hair grows back, so your routine gets shorter over time. For many people, the savings in time and razor bumps are the main reason they switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is facial laser hair removal permanent?
Laser gives long lasting hair reduction, and for many people the hair stops growing in treated areas. Some hairs can return later, especially on the face where hormones play a role, so occasional maintenance sessions are common. We will explain what to expect for you at your consultation.
How many sessions do I need for my upper lip or chin?
Most people need about six to eight sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair colour, thickness and hormones.
Can I get laser hair removal on blond or grey hair?
Laser works best on dark hair. Grey, white and very light blond hair contains little pigment, so the laser has little to target. We will assess your hair at your free consultation and tell you honestly if laser is likely to help.
Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
The DiolazeXL is a diode laser, a type commonly used on a range of skin tones. We check your skin and hair at your consultation and choose settings to suit you. Sun protection before and after treatment matters for every skin tone.
Can men get facial laser hair removal?
Yes. Many men book treatment for the cheeks and neck to shape their beard line, and some treat the ears and the back of the neck as well. We will plan an area map with you.
How soon will I see results?
Most people notice the hair growing back finer and more slowly after the first few sessions. The full effect builds over the course.
How much does it cost?
The upper lip, chin and neck are $60 per session each and a full face is $100. A package of six sessions earns 15% off. See our price list for every area.
