Facial hair removal

[Anonymous]

Is there a permanent wAy to do this? I have some black hairs but mostly peach fuzz. Has anyone done this? Does it give your face a cleaner look?

Have you tried the Olay remover? Or deplaning?

Anyone?

Electrolysis is the only permanent way to remove hair. It will hurt though. I don't think laser will work on peach fuzz. Lasers work best on dark hair on fair complexions.

Thanks, that's what I've heard (it's the only permanent way). I can't imagine that electrolysis would make sense for all your face- or?

You want to remove all of your facial hair? You wouldn't happen to be a guy? The reason I ask is that from what I understand, men who decide to transform into women before surgery get rid of all their facial hair that way. Otherwise, the hair might show as a shadow. It's a long, expensive and painful process since that would be hundreds of hairs that would need one to three treatments each.

OP here, I'm a woman. I don't have black hairs (well, a few stray hairs on my chin). But what I do have is that very fine blond hair on my face- I think I might have a little more than usual but it's not excessive. I just think it would look better gone!

I think the damage electrolysis can do to the face is not worth it - I'd rather have the peach fuzz.

I use a Sally Hansen product for facial hair on my chin and upper lip - it works well. I use it about every two weeks.

I saw this in a catalog recently and was intrigued:

What kind of damage do you mean?

I think PP might be talking about possible scarring. Go to an experienced technician and keep your face clean after treatment and it should be okay.

If you use one of the depilatories does it make the hair look at all different when it grows back in? (I'm talking about the very fine blond hair)

I had laser done on my chin where a few nasty dark/thicker hairs starting sprouting. The laser helped with those, I asked the technician if it would work on my my upper lip where I just have peach fuzz type hair and she said it would not. That the hair had to be coarse/thicker for the laser to work on it.

I am thinking about doing this! Maybe experiment with just one half of your face? If it's a subtle fuzz it shouldnt make too much of a difference and could give you an opportunity to see your face peach-fuzz-less.

Maybe find someone to thread it. The electrolysis process would be a nightmare for your entire face, and that's without mentioning the possibility of scarring. Depilatories work, sort of, but that's a lot of chemicals and a lot of chance for reaction.

Also, i've seen women with lots of blond facial hair and it's just not too noticeable.
