Perm Hair removal

cazza77 · 02-09-2006, 04:45 PM

I know this has been assked before but i am really at the end of my tether with the hair growth on my face. I need to know what people have done to reduce it, i don't mean waxing, plucking or shaving, i mean perm or semi-perm get rid of or drastically reduce.

I am seriously considering laser treatment

I would love to get laser treatment too. I don't suffer too much and most of the facial hair I have is fair with the exception of a few dark hairs on my upper lip which I pluck....oooouuuuccchhh!!!!!

I don't know how much it costs of anything, but I would love to have it.

Anyway....i can empathise!

I would look into electroloysis if I were you; it is actually permanent; laser isn't (at least according to my electroloysist) Electroloysis is more exp. per hour; however, it is perm. so you never have to do those hairs again; whereas laser is cheaper per hour; however you will keep having to do it so in the end it will actually cost more; I have done elctrololyis for the past five years off and on and nothin has come back; I am working right now on other areas of my body (larger) and more tedious with electroloysis..... check with your endo. to see if she/he can reccommend a trusted Electroloygist in your area; mine referred me to someone and she is great!

good luck

i have heard electrolisis is not as good as laser, it more painful, more chances of going wrong and you need it done more times.

i think i might get laser, what about diet and medication?

I have heard that laser is best. I have tried the home electrolysis kits, however, they were pants!

Argos has a home laser treatment kit for about £100.00.

I find this the worse symptom. All the others I can control with diet and excercise, but this takes the biscuit.

Good luck with the treatment and let us know how you get on.

I take spiro for the 'hair' it does reduce it, but it is still there, if you see what I mean...........
