Lip hair may appear to become thicker with shaving. This is mainly because shaving can stimulate the hair follicle tissue, increasing its activity and causing the follicles and pores to enlarge, resulting in the appearance of thicker lip hair. If a patient wishes to remove lip hair, they can visit a reputable medical facility and opt for laser hair removal, which generally provides long-lasting, permanent results.
