laser is another method.......
Removing Facial Hair through Laser
Unwanted facial hair can spoil your appearance. Hence removing them is a must. There are many ways to achieve this goal, both traditional as well as modern. Traditional methods include waxing, shaving, plucking and electrolysis. But you need to do these methods frequently as they do not destroy the hair root but just remove the hair from superficial level.
But with the arrival of laser, everything has changed. Though this treatment may seem expensive, it turns out to be economical in the end. This treatment is carried out by focusing a laser beam with low intensity on the hair follicles. This results in the destruction of hair roots but the skin surrounding it is not affected. Best of all it is painless procedure. If you experience any discomfort, you can ask for local anesthetic to prevent yourself from experiencing the pain. But in general, you can do this process without numbing yourself, as there is hardly any pain involved. Besides, it is a safe process as hardly any pain is involved.
With the laser technology becoming popular, many centers have sprung up offering this facility. Check them out thoroughly before finalizing on one. Find out if you can get the personal attention given from the specialists and whether the latest technology is used. Get recommendations from your friends who have undergone this treatment. Internet as well as yellow pages can also be a good source of information.
You will have to go a certain number of sittings for the treatment. You have to do a minimum number of sitting to get your desired results. Besides, if the area to be treated is large, you will have to pay more. Hence cost becomes the driving factor in your choice of the center. The centers with the ISO certification charge higher than the others. Besides, the quality of staff and the décor will also play a role in deciding the price.

Never pluck, especially around the lower face. I had been doing it for years and I noticed that the hair was getting darker, more stubborn and coarser (A few strays but not all the hair). I got told this a month ago and it is true. So I advise you wax. Don't use cream it spread the hair from where you have it to areas you don't. If you stopped using the cream you would have a full grown beard!
Also the cream does not last that long. Plucking and waxing lasts longer but waxing is the best by far in all aspects. You pluck the eyebrows because the they are less likely to spread everywhere. Also it doesn't matter if the hair is coarse it is meant to be.

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

Wax is better if you have the money and the time. Plucking can be painful, and leave scars.
Laser hair removal is permanent and the best, although the most expensive.

Although waxing is a little more painfull, it takes longer for the hair to grow back. Another method you could try is hair removal creams like Nairs, pain free and last longer then shaving.

RaGS sez : We'll, I'm 60 (almost 61!) and I don't wax my face and I haven't really been clean-shaven for 20 years...maybe more! So, I'd be compelled to ask if you've ever thought seriously about growing a beard? You'll be able to just kiss goodbye the hassle of shaving every day! Thank goodness for that, too!! I don't care if I NEVER see another razor!

If you use wax, the hairs don't grow back as fast compared to plucking
