Hello everyone,
So I have the unfortunate problem of having facial hair that is quite thick and grows back pretty quickly. Like as soon as a day, sometimes even that very night I'll already have some stubble. This obviously gives me some concern that even beard cover won't be enough to hide my 5 o clock shadow when dressed en femme. What remedies do I have to ensure that people won't be able to see any hint of facial hair? For those of you with this similar problem, how do you handle it? Thanks! - Angelica
Yeah, I hate stubble. On me anyway.
If you are relatively young and have dark hair and can afford it and really do not plan on growing a beard ever then get laser hair removal followed up by electrolysis to get rid of the hard ones.
I believe laser is less painful but not always as effective. I have heard of one enterprising lady who got a dentist near the salon where she got electrolysis to anaesthetize the area to be worked on in her next session just before.
Araminta.
could try some of these tricks that was discussed in this part of the forums
Professional Laser: High price but very effective process
Razor: Cheap and easy, but not a permanent solution. Start with your face first use a fresh razor when shaving your face. Shaving cream is a plus for a close shave. Legs and other body parts
Chemical hair removal: A chemical depilatory is a cosmetic preparation used to remove hair from the skin. Common active ingredients are salts of thioglycolic acid and thiolactic acids. These compounds break the disulfide bonds in keratin and also hydrolyze the hair so that it is easily removed.
Tweezing: For eyebrows or pesky little wild hairs here and there. Remember buy a nice pair of tweezers.
Waxing: Long term but not permanent. Painful for some. Waxing last anywhere from three to six weeks depending on your hair type.
Electrolysis: painful, slow but permanently kills hair follicles. At some point after a fair amount of laser treatment one will have to tidy up with electrolysis
Epilator: device used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out! Sounds fun!
ILP: is a broad-spectrum light that’s scattered across the skin to help with permanent hair reduction. It directs light at the melanin (the pigment that gives the skin/hair its colour) in the hair follicle, damaging the root and helping to break the cycle of regrowth. Don’t expect instant results, but with regular use, it can help prevent unwanted hair from reaching the skin surface. Energy, frequency, skin and hair colour are all determining factors in the efficacy of the treatment.
Most of the best IPL hair removal devices are suitable for the body and face. They work by gliding or stamping the device over skin, emitting light as they go. Gliding is convenient for larger surface areas of the body (such as your legs). Stamping (pressing onto the area) is better for smaller areas where you need to be more precise.
Here is a little info to help you along your path....
