How do I get rid of embarassing facial hair?

Question

I often get it waxed or treaded, but it is starting to become very frustrating. I don't like people, guys in particular, to come near my face, because of this probelm. I've tried bleaching it, but the hair is too thick and it becomes apparant. Please help. Is there anything natural I can use to get rid of it. Should I get it lasered. I'm worried that laser will leave marks on my face and it's expensive. Help!!!!!

I'm middle eastern so it's very very thick. It's in my genes.

Answer 1

Lasering should not leave any marks, but you're right, it is expensive. And if you do not keep going, it will come back in a few years. But if you want the fix for a while so you don't have to wax or bleach, and you can afford it....

Ask your doctor if it can be treated with hormone therapy. It could be that you are lacking estrogen, particularily if it has been a recent development, or if it started at puberty.

Answer 2

Lasering the hair on your face will be expensive.
Usually people who get the facial hair removed by laser, they have to go for many sessions because they hair follicle isn't completely destroyed. When you go through the laser treatment, it feels almost like a sunburn on your face afterwards.

In my opinion, going to a local place that waxes....would be the best bet.

Several women in my family have this problem, and I'm hoping that I won't end up with fine but dark facial hair on my face....its something I definately worry about.

Answer 3

I have the same problem... It is very embarrassing to me. I often catch myself sitting on the floor when I am around other people because it is thickest under my chin and I don't want anyone to have a good view of any hairs that I may have missed.

I can't afford lasers and I have heard of people having scars left on their face from it if the person who does it makes a mistake. I recently ordered an Igia Finally Gone from www.igia.com . If you watch the site you can sometimes catch them on sale for around $50. Regular online price is almost $100.

This will be my second Igia Finally Gone. I got my first one refurbished from ebay for about $20 with shipping. I followed the directions but was sad to see that it did not live up to its promise of permanent facial hair removal. I don't know if it's because of false advertising, tough hairs, or because I didn't buy a brand new one from the manufacturer. Either way, it did dramatically slow the regrowth of hairs. And I was impressed with the battery life. I used it for well over 6 months and only had to change batteries once! Unfortunately, it got broken when I moved across state.

Drawbacks:
Shipping from igia.com is SLOW! I ordered on October 24 and my order status is still "sent to warehouse".

It hurts... Especially at first. I didn't think I would be able to bear the pain. I had tears coming out of my eyes the first time, bit my lip through the second time, but the third time I used it, it got more bearable.

I am not sure how safe long-term use is. It gives you a strange metalic taste in your mouth... the closer you use it to your head, the stronger the taste. I am thinking maybe it gives a slight charge or something to your blood?

It's slightly inconvenient. The tweezers that zap individual hairs only take 30 seconds, but the small pads make you sit through a series of shocks for 4 minutes per area! The large pad takes like 16 minutes. (I think... I never had to use the large pad) And after it's over, you still have to take the time to pluck each hair out with tweezers. And it leaves your face red for a few minutes.

Over all, I still recommend this product to people who don't want to spend the money or take the chance of getting burned with lasers, and to those who are tired of burning their skin with nair or spending time each day tweezing. - I hope that this new one lives up to its promise of permanent hair removal! If not, it will still be nice to enjoy the slow regrowth.

Answer 4

You must almost always study earlier than waxing any facial hair rather then your higher lip. I recognize they've that business on television for painless hair elimination via Olay, however I might verify up on that as good. I feel in addition they promote facial hair removers at drug retail outlets, which paintings similar to a razor-blade so it's painless. Good-good fortune!

Answer 5

waxing or lasering. lasering is expensive, but it gets rid of it for good. I've never know if anyone getting scars on their face but call a few on the phone and ask questions

Answer 6

Okay you can shave it with a special razor, you can wax it as you said you have tried, or you can get something like Nair or Razera but MAKE SURE it is specially made for your face it is cheap and you just put it on in the shower!!!

Answer 7

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.

Answer 8

A friend of mine got hair lazered off of her face too.
She says it felt like a rubber band (so not too bad on the pain), it was only red for an hour or so, and it's really truly gone! Forever!
She said it was definitely worth the price. Plus, you can probably find a deal if you shop around!
Good luck! :)

Answer 9

You should use tweezers. That helps. Plus the hair returns much finer after tweezing. Sometimes hairs don't return after this type of treatement. but tweeze after a nice, warm shower.
