If you have facial hair on your cheeks, you have multiple removal options open to you. If a certain option does not prove effective, you can move on to the next. Cost and effectiveness will be your main considerations when choosing a facial hair removal method. As an alternative to removing the cheek hair, consider bleaching the hair. The bleach will not get rid of the hair, but it will make it less noticeable.
Step 1
Use a pair of tweezers if you only have a few stray hairs. If you only have a small amount of hair on the cheeks, you can pluck them out using a pair of tweezers. To do this, grasp the base of the hair and pull out the hair as quickly as possible.
Step 2
Purchase a hot or cold wax to get rid of the cheek hair. Place a thin layer of wax on the area of the cheeks with the hair. Apply the adhesive strip over the wax and allow it to sit for several minutes. Pull off the strip in one quick and fluid motion to get rid of the cheek hair. This method is ideal for larger areas of hair.
Step 3
Apply a depilatory to the area to get rid of cheek hair. Make sure the product you buy is safe to use on the face. If you have sensitive skin, speak to a dermatologist before using a depilatory. A depilatory will dissolve the hair on contact.
Step 4
Make an appointment with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. For permanent hair removal options, you'll need to speak to a doctor. Some methods that are used to get rid of cheek hair include electrolysis and laser hair removal. During electrolysis, an electric impulse is sent through a needle to kill the hair follicle. Laser hair removal uses concentrated energy to destroy the hair follicles. You'll need multiple sessions for these methods to be effective.
Tips and Warnings
