Understanding Unwanted Facial Hair

While all women have fine, light hair on their faces (vellus hair), for some, this hair can be darker, coarser, and more noticeable (terminal hair). This condition, known as hirsutism, is incredibly common and is usually caused by hormonal factors.

Major Causes:

  • Genetics: Some women are simply genetically predisposed to having more facial hair.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are a primary cause of excess hair growth. An increase in androgens (male hormones) can trigger this.
  • Menopause: The hormonal shifts during menopause can often lead to an increase in facial hair.
  • Medications: Certain medications can have hair growth as a side effect.

For many women in London, the daily routine to remove facial hair women find so troublesome is a significant source of stress. It’s important to know that you are not alone and that a permanent solution is available.

How we at Shumaila’s can treat this

We understand the sensitive nature of unwanted facial hair women face. Your journey at our London clinics begins with a discreet and supportive consultation. Our expert clinicians will assess your skin and hair type, discuss the underlying causes, and create a personalised treatment plan for the best facial hair removal for women.

First time treatment @ Shumailas I was impressed with the clean airy room welcoming staff. Jaya beauty therapist knew her skills well and she made me very comfortable during treatment, not too pricy (thank god!) for good quality treatment…they have a lot to offer go try it out…

I've been coming to Shumailas Upminster for laser hair removal and have now completed 9 sessions. The results have been amazing, and I've noticed a huge reduction in hair growth. Sonia has been fantastic throughout the entire process – she's always professional, friendly, and makes me feel completely comfortable during each appointment. She's very knowledgeable, takes the time to answer any questions, and ensures every session goes smoothly. The service has been excellent from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Shumailas Upminster to anyone considering laser hair removal.

I had Halima who did a really good job. It was painless. It was my first time getting waxed by someone else who’s not my usual go to person. She was really nice and quick.

I’ve been visiting Shumailas for laser hair treatment, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very first session, Bushra has been exceptional. she’s professional, incredibly kind, and genuinely skilled at what she does. What stands out most for me is the sense of safety and reassurance I feel during every treatment session. Bushra explains each step clearly and addresses my concerns with professionalism and care. She helps ensure I feel comfortable throughout the process. I really appreciate the care and consistency I’ve experienced here. It makes each visit smooth, comfortable, and something I genuinely look forward to. Highly recommended!

My experience at Shumaila’s has been amazing, I’m on my third session of laser hair removal and from the first session I noticed amazing results. Literally after my first session my hair completely went, I was struggling with really thick black hairs particularly on the chin area and no exaggeration they are all gone already! The staff are super friendly, the shop is lovely and clean. The entire team at Shumaila’s chingford are amazing and can’t recommend them anymore! Definitely invest into laser hair removal from Shumaila’s 🙂

I recently started my laser hair removal treatment at Shumaila’s Clinic in East Ham and have completed two sessions so far. I’m honestly so glad I found this place. After just my first session, I noticed a clear difference in my hair regrowth. It has slowed down a lot compared with before. A big thank you to my laser technician, Mnal. She is amazing, very friendly, and makes the whole process comfortable. I also want to thank Dr Indu for guiding me and suggesting the right treatment during my consultation. I’m very happy with my experience at Shumaila’s Clinic and would highly recommend it.

Just had my waxing and brows done by Huma and I honestly couldn’t be happier! She took her time, made sure everything was perfect, and was so lovely to chat with too. My skin feels smooth and my brows look flawless — thank you, Huma!

I have been with Shumaila’s Colchester branch for 5 months already for my laser treatment due to stubborn underarm hair that has affected my confidence since I was a youngster. And I have been greatly satisfied so far with the results! Bushra, my laser practitioner is very thorough and demonstrates extensive knowledge of her craft. The place is also immaculately clean. I can’t fault anything just yet.

Our comprehensive range of solutions allows us to recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific concerns, lifestyle, and desired outcomes.

Non Surgical

First-Line Treatments

Laser Hair Removal

This is the gold standard for permanent facial hair removal for women. Our medical-grade lasers emit a highly concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The light energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle and prevents it from producing hair in the future. Our advanced lasers are safe for all skin tones and can be precisely adjusted for different areas of the face.

Ideal for
Women seeking a permanent reduction in dark, coarse facial hair on the upper lip, chin, sideburns, or full face

Results
A significant reduction in hair growth after each session. A course of 6-8 treatments is typically needed for permanent, smooth results

Management
No downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately. Top-up sessions may be needed every year or so to catch any new hairs that may develop

Progressive Treatments

Advanced & Combination

PCOS Hair Removal

Our clinicians understand the hormonal drivers and will tailor the treatment schedule to effectively manage the hair growth associated with the condition, providing both a practical solution and emotional support.
