Many people have a small mustache around their lips, which makes women look manly. Therefore, many people want to remove this small mustache through medical means. Cryolipolysis for lip hair removal is a method chosen by many people, but are there any dangers associated with this method?
Pain during Cryolipolysis
During cryolipolysis, there may be localized pain in the lip area. The skin around the lips is delicate, and the dual-pulse laser used in cryolipolysis may cause mild pain in the skin. If the skin is already sensitive, this pain may be more noticeable, but it is still within a tolerable range.
Possible Infection from Cryolipolysis
After cryolipolysis, if the lips come into contact with unclean water or are frequently touched with hands, it is easy for bacteria to invade and cause bacterial infections. Generally, we should keep the lip skin clean and hygienic for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.
Pigmentation after Cryolipolysis
If effective sun protection is not observed after cryolipolysis, it is easy for pigmentation to occur in the skin around the lips, giving the impression that the area is becoming darker, even darker than before the lip hair removal. It may also be due to the consumption of foods with high pigmentation.
Possible Regrowth after Cryolipolysis
After cryolipolysis, there may be regrowth of lip hair after a certain period of time. However, the regrowth is usually light in color and fine, making it less noticeable. Generally, this situation is related to incomplete lip hair removal or improper post-operative care.
Cryolipolysis is not suitable for everyone
Cryolipolysis is not suitable for everyone. Firstly, people with dark skin color should not use cryolipolysis to avoid white spots. Additionally, it is not suitable for those who have allergies, a tendency for scarring, skin infections, hepatitis, or blood disorders. Women in their menstrual or pregnancy period should also avoid cryolipolysis.
