Facial laser hair removal in Málaga

At Narumi Estética Avanzada & Bienestar, Calle Cristo de la Epidemia 33, in Málaga city centre, a few minutes from the historic centre and La Victoria. Marta Fernández, an advanced aesthetics specialist with over 15 years' experience, assesses your facial hair before you start and carries out every session with a diode laser with a cooled sapphire tip.

Because women's facial hair is closely linked to hormones, which keep activating new follicles over time, and because it often mixes fine and coarse hairs. Facial hair also renews faster, so sessions are every 4–6 weeks. As a guide, 8 to 12 sessions, followed by top-ups depending on the person.

Before laser, see your doctor or an endocrinologist. Coarse hair that suddenly appears on the chin, neck or sideburns can be caused by hormonal changes, medication or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, which are worth looking into. With their go-ahead, laser can help reduce it, bearing in mind that if the cause is still active you'll need more sessions and top-ups.

Yes, between the brows we can, with eye protection and leaving a margin from the eyebrows. What we don't do is shape eyebrows with laser or work on the eyelids: being so close to the eye isn't worth it, and brow shapes change over the years. For that, the salon offers other options such as microblading.

We don't recommend it. Fine, light fuzz has little pigment and responds poorly to laser, and in some people the heat can actually stimulate that fine hair instead of reducing it, especially on the cheeks and neck. That's why on the face we only treat dark hair of sufficient thickness. If the fuzz bothers you, we'll talk you through other options.

No. Tweezing, threading and waxing pull the hair out by the root, and without the root the laser has nothing to direct heat to at the next session. Between sessions, use a facial razor or small scissors. Breaking the habit is hard at first, but within a few sessions there's far less hair to deal with.

Yes, but stop bleaching as soon as you decide to start. The laser needs the dark pigment in the hair, and bleached hair has very little, so the session would achieve very little. Ideally, wait for hair in its natural colour to grow through and trim or shave it in the meantime. At your consultation we'll tell you when it's ready to treat.

A broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning, in winter and on cloudy days too, reapplied if you spend time outdoors. In Málaga your face gets sun almost all year round, and tanned or sun-irritated skin means lowering the energy or postponing the session. If you wear make-up with SPF, apply it over your sunscreen, not instead of it.

Per-session prices for the upper lip, chin and full face are in the price table on this page and on our prices page. If two or more areas of your face bother you, the full face usually works out better value. At your consultation we look at which areas are worth treating and which wouldn't respond, so you don't pay for sessions that won't help.
