Coarse facial hair removal
Precision RF/HF Thermolysis for Stubborn Facial Hair
Coarse Facial Hair Removal is a specialized RF/HF thermolysis treatment designed for women who struggle with coarse, stubborn facial hair—especially on the chin, jawline, neck, upper lip, and between the brows.
Unlike laser hair removal, this treatment is effective on white, gray, blonde, and other non-pigmented hairs that laser cannot target. It is an excellent solution for women experiencing hormonal or hereditary facial hair growth who want a more permanent reduction.
What is RF/HF Thermolysis
RF/HF thermolysis uses a fine sterile probe that is gently inserted into the natural hair follicle opening. Radio frequency and high-frequency energy are delivered directly to the follicle, weakening the hair at its root so it can be removed while helping reduce future regrowth.
Because each hair is treated individually, this procedure is highly effective for coarse facial hairs that are resistant to shaving, waxing, tweezing, dermaplaning, or laser hair removal.
How coarse facial hair removal works
A fine sterile probe is carefully placed into the natural follicle opening of each coarse hair.
Gentle thermal energy is delivered to weaken the follicle before the hair is removed with tweezers.
Over a series of treatments, many follicles become less productive, resulting in finer, slower-growing hair and, in some cases, permanent removal.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are typically necessary to achieve optimal results.

Treatment series
Hair grows in different stages, so not every follicle can be treated during a single appointment.
Some hairs may never return after one treatment, while others require multiple sessions depending on the hair growth cycle and individual response.
Most clients are treated every 3–4 weeks until their desired results are achieved.
Before your appointment
For the treatment to be effective, the hair must be long enough to grasp with tweezers.
Please do not wax, thread, tweeze or shave before your appointment.
After your treatment
Temporary redness around the treated follicles is normal and usually resolves within a few hours.
For best results:
• Avoid touching or picking at the treated area.
• Wear sunscreen daily.
• Avoid excessive heat, exercise, and sweating for 24 hours.
• Follow your customized post-treatment instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as laser hair removal?
No. RF/HF thermolysis treats each individual hair follicle and works on white, gray, blonde, and non-pigmented hairs that laser hair removal cannot effectively treat.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the treatment as very tolerable. You may feel a brief sensation of heat with each treated hair.
Is the hair permanently removed?
Many treated hairs do not return. However, because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are usually needed to treat all active follicles.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness is common immediately after treatment and typically resolves within several hours.
Why choose RF/HF thermolysis?
If you’ve been frustrated by coarse facial hair that continues to return despite waxing, tweezing, shaving, or laser treatments, RF/HF thermolysis offers a precise solution that targets individual follicles—including hairs that laser simply cannot treat.
