Facial hair solutions?

Okay, I have very dark, coarse facial hair, mainly on my neck, the sides of my face, and my upper lip. I've done Nair, Waxing, Laser Treatment, everything I can think of. It grows back within a week! Is this triggered by hormones, and is there any way to stop it? It's really ugly and I don't want to shave it. :( I just want it gone. I'm embarrassed of wearing my hair up because of it.

if lazer treatments and waxing hasn't worked, i would suggest seeing a doctor or dermatologist.

normally when i woman produces unusual amounts of facial hair, its because they have more of the male hormone than they are supposed to. estrogen supplements could help, but i would ask a doctor.

Besides trying to cover it up you should REALLY consult with your doctor.

This is not normal and yes, it is most likely triggered by the hormones....but what is causing the hormonal imbalance? It could be a sign of something else so please get blood work done.

There is also a cream called Vaniqa that is prescribed by doctors for facial hair. It does not remove the hair but prevents future growth. Here is the link for info:

I have had eight laser hair removal treatments. I have seen around 75% effectiveness so far. Each time it has been more and more effective. I am currently pretty satisfied with the treatments. I believe that after my tenth treatment I will only have to come back in once every two or three years. I started with a lot of dark hair and a medium complexion though. I would say that the lighter hairs take more treatments.

I don't do it through an MD. You don't have to do it with an MD and it is cheaper. You can get numbing cream prescribed from your doctor and it cost five bucks a tube. I had laser done a few years ago and it wasn't all that affective. They used a diode laser. I'm sure that there have been advancements in diode lasers since I had it done years ago, but the treatments I have been recieving over the last year are with an alexandrite laser.
