CPAP Mask Users with Facial Hair

Published on Tuesday 07 February, 2023

Using CPAP masks with facial hair can be a challenge, as hair can interfere with the seal of the mask and cause leaks. However, there are several strategies that can help:

Trim or shave facial hair: Trimming or shaving the hair near the mask can help improve the seal and reduce leaks.
Use a full face mask: Full face masks cover both the nose and mouth and can be a good option for people with facial hair.
Use a chin strap: A chin strap can help keep the mouth closed, reducing the likelihood of leaks from the mouth.
Use a mask liner: Mask liners can help create a better seal by reducing the friction between the mask and the hair.
Try different masks: If one mask is not working, consider trying a different type of mask that may work better with your facial hair.
