Facial Hair Removal in Blackburn — Vaniqa & Hirsutism Treatment
Unwanted facial hair can be frustrating and impact confidence. Our private consultation explores the options that suit you — from prescription topical treatments to onward referral for advanced cosmetic treatments.
Understanding the options
Excess facial hair (hirsutism) affects around 5-10% of women and can be due to hormonal factors, certain medications, or genetic predisposition. We offer a discreet consultation to identify the underlying cause where possible and discuss treatment options — including prescription topical treatments such as eflornithine (Vaniqa).
Our service is consultation-based — we don't offer in-house laser or electrolysis treatments. Where those are most appropriate, we'll refer you to a suitable provider.
