I believe you're asking how to removed unwanted facial hair so I will answer accordingly.
Waxing will remove the hair from the root and is a system that needs to be repeated ever 4-6 weeks. It is inexpensive and can be painful. But, once you get used to the procedure it really isn't that bad. It can be done by your estetician or even with an at home kit. I would recommend that you at least begin with a professional so you can see the proper way to apply the wax and remove the gauze. If it's not done properly, you could experience irritation, broken or bruised skin and ingrown hairs.
Electrolysis is another method. It is done by using an electrified, small needle inserted into each follicle to kill the follicle and keep it from regrowing hair. It is quite effective however can be somewhat painful and time consuming. It is cost effective when done on small areas.
Laser hair removal is another option that works well. Some people find it somewhat painful or irritating. I, however do not. I have received electrolysis treatments as well as tons of waxing and I find the laser to be less painful than elecrolysis and about equal to waxing. It can be quite expensive and you will need multiple treatments. But if it's a smaller area you might be OK. I know I used to pay my laser tech only $25 each treatment to have my upper lip treated.
Whatever you do...don't shave! It will NOT make it come back in courser or darker as people think. The reason that our hair becomes thicker, darker and more concentrated is due to the fact that our hormones change as we age. Think about this....How old were we all when we started to shave our legs? Probably pretty young and as we age our hormones will cause us to have more unwanted hair. So if we NEVER started shaving our legs would it still be as sparse as it was when we were 13 or 14? No. It would be the same as it is presently weather we shaved it or not. That idea is all an old wive's tale. However, shaving does make a blunt edge to the hair which will make it feel "prickely" or sharp. It also removes the hair from the mid-shaft which is the thickest part of the hair. Another reason why when it grows back in it will feel sharp. The methods I mentioned above all remove the hair from it's papilla or "root". Conseqently, the follicle is forced to regenerate a new hair (Which takes about 4-6 weeks) and when it comes to the surface it is fine and soft.
