Laser Hair Removal:
The laser emits an invisible light which penetrates the skin without damaging it; it is then absorbed by the pigments of the pilous follicle. The laser light selectively absorbed by the follicle damages its functions and impairs its ability to fabricate hair. At the level of the pilous follicle, the laser light absorbed by the pigments is then transformed into heat which damages the hair but not the surrounding skin.
Laser hair removal is an effective and proven method. Laser can be used as a medical device since it can be exactly tuned according to each patient's type of skin, guaranteeing an effective treatment. Observance of instructions and precautions are essential for safe treatment. Thus, the use of a powerful device adapted to each skin type allows for effective and safe treatment.
Is laser hair removal a permanent solution ?
One generally speaks of extended periods of hair removal, with a decrease in the amount of hair and in their diameter. Thus, after each session and according to the area of the body involved, one can notice increasingly long periods in-between hair removal sessions (4-6 weeks at the beginning and several months after some sessions). On the whole and after several sessions, hair removal is virtually complete.
Laser Removal works best on "Darker" hair as it absorbs light easily.
Good Luck

You probably don't realise how common this problem is. Although I am fair haired I never thought that facial hair would be a problem for me, but a couple of years ago I started getting longer hairs on my top lip. I was distraught and contacted a qualified beautician for advice. I thought that electrolysis would be the best answer but she told me that this takes absoultely ages to work, would be expensive with no guarantees. She advised me to try waxing, but I was worried that the hairs might grow back coarse.
She told me that this wouldn't happen and that eventually the regrowth would slow down. I have now been getting my top lip waxed ever since, I used to get her to do it but now I buy the Veet strips and do it myself. If you find that your facial hair is over a much larger area of your face then maybe you should consult your GP to make sure you don't have an hormonal inbalance.

I would try laser hair removal. It is relatively painless, has little side effects and depending on the person lasts for years. It is expensive so be prepared for that.
I would recommend looking in your phone directory under cosmetic surgery/plastic surgeon. They usually have someone in their office that does the hair removal in their office-usually not the doctor. I would not take the chance of having it done at a mall or someplace that offers reduced rates-especially when it comes to your face. You do get what you pay for.
Take your time, shop around and ask lots of questions and find someone you feel comfortable with. Good luck!

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.

If you have fine hair then bleaching would work the best. but if have already dont harm to ur hair (pluckin/removers) then your hair might not bleach well..then i may suggest laser. I did laser,its little expensive but now my hair is way thinner than before. but it still gorw,,hopefully it vanishes after my last visit.
