Don't you need a perscription for that? You stated that the hair again needs to be removed, does it need to be from the root, what do you think about waxing before applying the product? Do you think that work or would it interact with the product? And before you spend money on laser, it's not guaranteed, so far nothing is. I have tried so many things that it is unreal. I have been fighting this problem for the past three years. I have facial hair on my chin and cheeks. I use Sally's facial hair remover for sensitive skin every single day, because I can feel hair on my face every morning when I awake. It's unreal the changes we women have to go through and no-one can seem to create something that is guaranteed to stop the hair from coming back.

FIRST, I AM IN THE SAME WAY AS YOU ARE WITH THE HAIR GROWTH DEAL ON THE CHIN. I STARTED OUT BY PLUCKING AND THEN IT ONLY CAME BACK THAT MUCH MORE SO I DECIDED TO TRY THE ELECTROLOSIS. WORD OF ADVICE IT DOESN'T WORK. I SPENT ALMOST $2,000 OVER TIME AND IT STILL IS THERE SO I JUST STOP DOING IT. I WAX NOW. FOR I SPENT SO MUCH TRYING TO STOP IT AND IT JUST DID NOT WORK. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE LASER TREATMENTS FOR NOW I WISH I HAD TRIED THAT FIRST INSTEAD. SO IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT EITHER ONE I WOULD CHOOSE THE LASER TREATMENTS.
Hello all alike!
My name is Annie S. And I am 21 years of age.
I too am dealing with similar problems. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism this year, and am also suspected to have pcos (polycycstic ovarian syndrome). Extremely distressed and near suicidal, I began to research permanent solutions for hair removal for the excessive hair grown on my cheeks, chin and neck. That was when I came across electrolysis. Just to let all the hopeless out there know, electrolysis isn't a magic, immediate solution. It is a process, it takes time. I have been having weekly sessions for three months now, and have noticed that the dark, coarse hairs being treated are actually growing back finer! Yes, of course that restless demon of doubt manages to creep it's way back into my mind, and at times is so powerful I feel as if I can't take life anymore.
Of course there are many other solutions offered out there now a'days: laser, electrolysis, waxing, threading, at home hair removal devices, shaving, creams that slow down hair growth (Vaniqa). But I needed a more permanent method, I was crumbling and tired of all he maintenance I dedicated to making myself looking like the "before" Annie.
But just to assure you, electrolysis can work, maybe not for all, but wih dedication and persistence results will be apparent. Do note though: THE MORE YOU HAVE SHAVED/WAXED/ETC, THE LONGER IT TAKES TO DESTROY THE ROOT OF THE HAIR, WHICH MAY MEAN ELECTROLYSIS WILL INDEED TAKE LONGER! It is also recommended that you DO NOT pluck, shave, etc in between sessions.
Best of luck to you all, and my heart truly is with all of you. I know how alone you feel.
Please, take care.

Visit: www.shavenomore.com. There's a product called "Ultra Hair Away". I'm going to order it myself. It seems like a good product.
I ordered the Ultra Hair Away and I'm only using it on my face and I'm still on the same bottle and for right now I can't tell any difference, I'm still using other products daily including shaving to get rid of facial hair. I would not buy it If I were you, don't even waist your money.

Have you heard of a product called: "Ultra Hair Away"? It seems to be very effective.
hi even am facing the sme problem.tried pluckng n even laser treatment.its realy of no use.after that it became more thick i feel.
Hi I also went through laser and had 16 treatments, but the problem is still there and even worse. I have more dense and
thick hair. I think laser is just a wastage of time and money.
I did some research after and found that for unknown
reason, a percentage of people get their hair back after laser.
The bottom line is laser in not 100% guaranteed.

I spent a fortune on laser treatments in my opinion I now have more facial hair than when I started. I think it may have killed off the original dark hairs but the shaving produced more in the same area. Now of course I have a mixture of dark/white/grey hair, white/grey cannot be dealt with by laser. Back to square one! I go and get it threaded once a week, no more ingrowing hairs so a smooth complection but would still like a permanent remedy. Surely there must be some college or university that could get their science department to come up with a solution.
Hi, I'm 24 and I have been having facial hair for years, all this time I have plucked the hairs from my chin and it has gotten worse. I might have pcos and I've decided to go for electrolysis; my only concern is that you cannot pluck any hairs once you start electrolysis treatments. I don't want to shave and depilatory creams don't work because the hair is thick. I don't think I'm going to be able to just let the hair grow for a week and keep facing the people I see everyday. Need some advice!!!!!!!
I have been having electrolysis for about 6 months now. I started once a week and now go back twice a month. U have to be patient with this as it is slow but I think it has improved. I pluck in-between sessions and haven't been told not too. I would say it's better than doing nothing and what's 20 pounds a month to see the effects rather than 500 for laser.

im doing it! Ive had two lazer treatments, its been 3 months of shaving everyday and it sucks but you have to do it during the lazer treatments. when it falls out your skin feels like baby ass and youll want to do your whole body. If you buy on groupon its pretty cheep.On living social its 50 bucks for 6 treatments! It is permanent for about 5 yrs. Ive had my lip done, it was great but 5yrs later, its back. But it was worth it for those 5 yrs. Im aslo an esthetician and have worked at a lazer clinic so I do have accurate information.

Hello... I AM DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND I AM STARTING TO THINK THAT NOTHING IN THIS WORLD WORKS. HAIR IS HAIR AND IT IS PERMANENT, EVEN THO IT MAY DISAPPEAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AFTER SHAVING OR TWEEZING. I WOULD LOVE FOR SOME1 THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH REMOVING FACIAL HAIR PERMANENTLY, TO POST THEIR METHOD PLEASE:)
I am having the same issues as everyone. I went to the OBGYN back in 1998 when I was working and had insurance and she told me that I have a hormonal imbalance and I was put on birth control for 3 months. It only helped with my menstral problem, and not the hair problem on my face. I was supposed to go back for a checkup, but they had messed up my insurance at the temp place I was working for and I was kicked off of the insurance, so I had no extra money to go for the checkup. I am still having the facial hair, and although I am working at another company, our deductible is $2000 and I have no extra money to go back to the OBGYN. I was wondering if there was some type of herbal supplement I could take to make my hormones balance so this hair can stop growing on my face. The only thing I can do for it right now is shave it because I have no extra money for laser treatments or those elctro treatments. I would rather take natural herbs anyway for this problem. If anyone knows of any herbs or what not to take, please contact me. Email - earthen_vessels24@yahoo.com
Well that would be exactly what they don't want. They don't care that we want it gone, they care about profit. If they were to release a product that stops hair growth completely, the payout wouldn't last.

go for electrolysis. my personal experience , it delays hair growth,and u have to wait for atleast 4-5 years for any permmenat result.

Have your hormones checked then change your diet to mostly fruit and veg. less carbohydrates.

i was told hormones imbalance is the cause, how do those transsexual(man to woman) get away with it , I WONDER. mh
This is actually an easy one to answer. Also, being as I am a hermaphrodite I have extensive knowledge in this. The reason
FtM,(female to male, unlike my predicament which is HtF) get away with it as you have put it, is all due to hormone levels. When say a transsexual man has the lower surgery, which removes the testicles, he, or she is no longer making "any" hormones. Now, that right there will trigger a ton of changes, including hair growth. However to make sure osteoporosis doesn't set in, they do need to take estrogen, or some variation there of. Now, there bodies are only producing, or least chemically supplied estrogen, which by nature alone dose not promote hair growth. People that are the greater whole who do not have any problems with there gender or any mutations will never understand nor go threw all this. But both male and female, do produce testosterone and estrogen. Male tips to more T, where as females tip more to E. When the code is interrupted, or a mutation takes place, a typical male, could produce more E, likewise a female could produce more T, giving them the problem with facial and body hair growth. Look at female bodybuilders for instance, if done with anabolic steroids, they are purposely tipping there hormone levels hence giving them a much more "masculine" appearance, but with the added benefit they seek being greater muscle growth. If you suspect hormones to be playing a role, see an endocrinologist, they will be able to tell if this is occurring. Hope this answers anyone's question as to the why them not me fiasco.

I have the same problem and I assume its because of hormonal imbalance . I shave my face but with that it caused me to have medium to severe acne problems. Does anybody else have this problem as well ?
