How best to remove (women's) facial hair?

curlygirl1971

If anyone is considering Laser Hair Removal and you're located near a Transform clinic, then you may be interested to know they are currently offering 1/2 price courses. I think the current offer ends on 31st December, although they were also offering the same in February earlier this year.

Thought I'd post about my Vaniqa experiment as I know some people here are interested:

Thanks for the blog link

I've just had a look on ebid there and can see 2 sellers for vaniqa - both around the £22-£26 mark. Think I'll invest...

Just thought I'd drop a wee note to say how I'm getting on with this stuff.

In a word...

:eek:

lol Only messing!

I honestly have to say I noticed a difference within a week (supposed to be 8!)!! Usually I epilate my face once a week on a Fri eve or Sat morning, and I'm usually itching to get it done coz it's driving me crazy. But that first week, by the Saturday I actually figured I could leave it an extra day or 2!! Maybe it all depends how 'bad' things are to begin with. I don't know. Plus, I'm not always using it both morning and night as instructed. Once a day at least. Can't get over the difference already!

So it's a big thumbs up from me!

Hi

My dr will not prescribe this to me due to cost, and it is no longer for sale on ebid. Does anyone know anywhere else this can be bought?

I feel sad reading my post in here from back in August stating that my hairiness was down to my Eastern european roots. Found out rt he other week that I have pcos

But now you have been diagnosed your GP has to treat you with what is available according to pals

So look at it as a positive.


I'm borderline. So no I don't get any authorised treatments

What a fab thread! I thought I was a freak as I have battled with my very hairy body and face since being a teen. The problem seems to be getting more acute now I am in my 50's I can cope with the wrinkles that age brings but find the facial hair very difficult to accept

Currently shave/epilate but find epilating my face very painful and get awful spots afterwards but have ben accepting the bumps and spots as a reasonable payoff to have a fuzz free face for a few weeks

I can't use creams as they just burn my skin and the resulting soreness and redness lasts for days and days - by the time its faded - the hair has returned for an encore

I have just ordered a x12 magnifying mirror and a Epicare from Amazon to try - live well out of town so visiting a threading salon is not possible and have had limited results from DIY threading

Will follow this thread with interest to see how eberyone gets on with their various strategies!

I can sympathise with you charlies-aunt. I 'put up' with the lumps and bumps and spots as a result of hair removal, just so I can be fuzz free too!!

EDIT:
Just checked on ebid and Vaniqa is back on for sale for £23.99
