If you’re 40+ and wondering where those new chin hairs or lip hairs suddenly came from… you’re definitely not alone. 👀
One of those fun little surprises no one really warns you about in your 40s? Your facial hair can start changing too.
As hormone levels shift during perimenopause and menopause, it’s common to notice new facial hair or hairs becoming darker, coarser or more noticeable — particularly around the chin, upper lip and jawline.
And if plucking that one chin hair has somehow turned into checking the mirror for five of them every morning, there are options.
At Olakino, the right hair removal method depends on the hair itself. Dark, pigmented hairs can often be effectively treated with Laser Hair Removal using our Clarity II, while blonde, grey or white hairs that laser can’t effectively target may be better suited to electrolysis. For some clients, a combination of both makes the most sense.
✨ Dark, coarse facial hair? Laser hair removal may be a great option.
✨ Blonde, grey, or white hairs? Electrolysis can treat hairs that laser can’t effectively target.
✨ A mixture of both? Sometimes a combination approach makes the most sense.
With 30+ years of experience in hair removal, our team considers your hair colour, coarseness, skin tone and treatment area to determine the right approach for you.
Facial hair is incredible common- but if it bothers you, there are effective ways to manage it.
