Can Men Wax Their Facial Hair?

Question: My husband is looking for relief from his regular shaving routing. He shaves in the morning and it’s back again at night. Could he wax his facial hair so he doesn’t have to shave so much?

Valentina: I never recommend for men to wax their facial hair. First, the hair on men’s faces is much more coarse and thick than body hair. This makes it more difficult to remove. Second, the skin on the face is sensitive. These two combinations can make for some disastrous results if a man waxes his face.

I can sympathize with your husband not wanting to have to shave so often. My preferred method of hair removal for a man’s face is laser. Although it is costly, results are excellent.

Laser hair removal uses laser light to pass a light beam through the skin. The laser targets dark pigment, called melanin, in hair. When the light beam hits the hair follicle it is destroyed instantly from the intense heat. Patients usually report a slight stinging sensation when the laser is activated.

In most cases, laser hair removal slows hair regrowth, which could be excellent for your husband. Several treatments can nearly remove all of the hair for a very long period of time.
