Vaniqa, Waxing, Laser, Shaving, Electrolysis...
For those of you who suffer with excess facial hair, what method do you find to be most effective and what is your experience with the different methods?
I used to wax and it worked beautifully but it just took up too much of my time. I would have to wax and then tweeze any hairs I missed and it would take up hours per week, not to mention painful.
I switched to shaving which seems to be worse for my hair growth but I just dont have the time to wax. Of course now I have to shave twice a day to deal with this disaster.
The cream hair removers simply do not work for me. I have tried them all. They stink and sometimes burn and I might lose 3 hairs if I am lucky. I leave the stuff on for as long as possible, it just does nothing.
Vaniqa... I just got a bunch of free samples of vaniqa from a dermatologist. I may try using them but from the reports that I read it really isnt that effective and makes the hairs even coarser. It would be nice to not have to shave daily.
There is a Laser center here I think its called SOMA (or something like that) Their prices are fairly cheap for laser. I think its like $250 per session and there are like 6 sessions needed. I also know its pretty painful and I am not sure how well it will work. Also, I am a bit concerned about getting this cheap place to do it. I am wondering if this is an area I should not skimp out in and get a doctor to do it for $600+ per session.
Is there a good method of hair removal that I am missing? How do you guys cope?
