Default Yet another peach fuzz monster

Hi all!

I really need some advice.

I am a serious peach fuzz monster - very bright skin, very dark peach fuzz all over my body. Seriously - all over.

The thing is, I'm not sure if I should do laser or electrolysis - since 99% of it is peach fuzz and not coarse, I read that laser will not affect it and might stimulate more (even though my peach fuzz IS thicker compared to other ppl's because all my hair is thicker - it's think, but still peach fuzz).
And electrolysis might not be possible on ALL my face for example because I have alot of it...

So, is there anyone out there with some advice or with the same problem? I feel stuck in the middle...

Thanks girls

I don't think you would be a good candidate for laser or electrolysis. Can you wax off the fuzz? You might be able to go that route and sometimes with repeated waxing, the hair can eventually stop growing.

My friends mom waxed her legs for 20 yrs and they are practically hairless with a few stray hairs, here and there.

i am the exact same way!! light brown fuzziness ALL over. none of it is coarse (except in areas where the hair is normally coarse, like pits and vajayjay)...i don't know whether or not to be thankful about that since it is relatively easy to remove and nobody can tell, but it is still super time-consuming and laser isn't an option, so i'm afraid i'm going to be stuck with all this plucking and shaving forever!!!! ahhh!!! sometimes i wish certain areas, like my chest (this is really a pain since it is so sensitive and gets irritated if i shave too frequently) did have coarse hair so i could just get it lasered and be done with it.

yeah, sorry...i know you wanted advice, just letting you know you aren't alone i guess.

Well first of all thank you guys for your replies!

I am very very discouraged The thing is, I read in some places that laser can remove some peach fuzz if it's really dark and I guess I was asing my hopes on that... is it 100% hopeless?

and, what size area do you think electrolysis can cover? no way I cand o face and neck, no matter the cost?

thank you guys....

You could go see an electrologist and see if it will be effective on your hair. Is it peach fuzz (less than .25 inch) or just slightly longer? I think the hair needs to be just a bit longer than that for the needle to destroy the follicle. Don't let my post discourage you-I could be wrong and you might actually be able to get electrolysis done.

I am a fellow fuzzy chica, and I have had electralosis. Something to consider is that it is not permanant from what I have read from other girls.
