What’s Included in the Upper Lip Area?
The treatment covers the full area above the upper lip, including the corners of the mouth.
Upper Lip Only or Combined Facial Treatment?
The Upper Lip can be treated as an individual facial zone. If unwanted hair is also present in other facial areas, those zones can be treated separately or combined with the Upper Lip treatment.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The CLARITY II 755 nm laser used at Glow Lab is indicated for hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles. Its FDA documentation describes temporary hair reduction and stable long-term or permanent hair reduction after a treatment regimen.
Hair Color and Treatment Suitability
Because the laser targets melanin in the hair follicle, hair pigment is an important factor in treatment. For facial hair, Glow Lab evaluates fine hairs individually; very light-colored, white, colorless, or gray hair generally do not provide enough pigment for effective laser targeting.
Laser Technology Used at Glow Lab
Glow Lab uses Lutronic CLARITY II and Cynosure Elite+ laser systems. Both systems provide 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths. FDA documentation for both systems includes indications for stable long-term or permanent hair reduction.
