Cause of excessive facial hair on women?

[Anonymous]

since this is a very common problem among many women does anyone have a personal remedy that they use? I don't want to wax or shave. the problem is bad enough to bother me, but not bad enough to do those two things.

The only option then for you is laser hair removal.

I am definitely not obese. I am 5 foot 1, and I weigh 135 pounds. so, slightly healthy, but not overweight by any means. I have been told since I was a teenager that I was estrogen dominant. however, I do not know if that is still the case.

At 5'1" and 135 lbs. you are most definitely in the overweight category.

Yeah, sorry, you must be in denial. I and 5'6", and 122, and I'm bordering on looking gross and big. You should be around 110 at the most.

I have considered that. However, I did read somewhere that laser hair removal would not work on such fine hairs. I suppose that's for the trip to see if I am a candidate, or not.

Ok, so you don't want to blame weight or PCOS and you don't want to wax or shave. What else can we tell you? See a doctor (although it's normal) and use Nair.

are you athletic? Are you serious?what are your measurements? mine: ankle 7 " calf 12 and a half., thigh 22" hips 33", waist 29 bust 39" wrist 6" . now find a calculator or some website and you'll see that I'm definitely not overweight. thank you to everyone who actually has some common sense to realize this is not an overweight person and there is another likely cause. It is a shame that I literally had to go and pull out my measurements just to show people on here who obviously do have a complex about weight. This is not about my weight

I'm 5'2 and weigh 135. I wear size four jeans and size two in dresses and a target
Kid's size large. I am technically obese.

I'm the obese 5'2 135 pounder, also want to mention I run a 5k in just under 23 minutes. I am an obese person on paper.

See? So both of you know that this is a healthy weight for us.thank you so much for helping me to educate those who do not know. like me, I'm sure both of you as well has nothing against anyone who wants to be super skinny, athletic, slightly overweight, or just a little overweight. It is preference. however, I think everyone else should be open to realizing that metrics do not speak the whole story.

are you asking me? The OP?? if so, what do you mean by that?

[Anonymous]

I'm asking why one would feel "borderline gross" at 122 lbs and 5'6. I thought 122 was a typo

OP, ignore the obesity poster, they are really trying to get under your skin.

Plenty of friends and I have gotten facial hair as we've gotten older (peach fuzz). Mine is largely due to the removal of my thyroid. Other people get it because their hormones are fluctuating (pre-menopausal, etc).

I use a Sally Hansen hair remover for faces. It takes about 5 minutes and works wonderfully. I use it about every 2-3 months.

I thought it was a typo too. I'm not here to judge anyone though. I wish the same could have been said for myself. thank you, and thank you for your advice.
