How Can I Get Rid
of Facial Hair?
I want to be smooth as a newborn on my wedding
day. Whats the best way to get rid of facial hair?
Tweezing, bleaching, shaving, waxing and depilatory creams (think
Nair) all work, but none are permanent. Laser epilation and
electrolysis permanently eradicate the problem Electrolysis
uses electric currents to kill the hair follicle. And lasers use
light to heat up the pigment in the hair, causing it to self-destruct..
Both take about six sessions over the course of one year to kill
a follicle. But since an electrolysis session covers a small patch
of hair and can be painful, lasers are becoming more popular.
Theres also a new product called Vaniqa, a cream that you
apply to the affected areas of your face, that slows hair-growth
significantly. Vaniqa takes about eight weeks to work, and
its effective in about 50 percent of users. Since Vaniqa is
by prescription only, youll need to talk to your doctor.
