Female facial hair removal tips and up-to-date information and tips
Female facial hair can be embarrassing. It often appears
first during puberty and then gets darker and coarser after

important issue.
Most female facial hair appears over the lip and on the
chin, but many females have unwanted hair on their jaw,
cheeks and neck. Fortunately, there are a number of
different ways to finesse female facial hair removal.
First and foremost, a female should determine the
underlying cause of her facial hair before deciding on a
removal method.
Females who are pregnant or nursing often notice an
increase of facial hair. They should speak with their
doctor before using any hair removal method that uses
energy, chemicals or drugs.
Females who have high levels of androgens, (a steroid
hormone, such as testosterone or androsterone, that
controls the development and maintenance of masculine
characteristics), creating facial hair may obtain
prescription oral medications from a medical specialist.
Tweezing is probably the method most often used to remove
female facial hair. But while it's okay to use tweezers for
eyebrows, it really isn't for other female facial hair. It's
painful, time consuming usually needing to be done on a
daily basis, and over time, tweezing can damage the skin.
Some females believe they can conceal their facial hair by
bleaching it, but then, under make up and in bright light
their face looks, "furry".
Topical creams for female facial hair removal, available
only by prescription, inhibit the growth of new hairs for
about 50% of the females who have used one.
Shaving with a wet razor is not recommended as a female
facial hair removal method because hairs grow back very
quickly and the stubble appears thicker and darker.
One can remove unwanted female facial hair with a hair
removal cream or lotion known as a depilatory. But don't be
surprised if you get pimples as a reaction to the harsh
chemicals.
A facial wax is a clean, fast and easy method for removing
female facial hair for up to 6 weeks. But, many experience
swelling and redness in reaction to the hairs being
literally yanked out.
Electrolysis is an unpleasant form of female facial hair
removal because it involves inserting a needle into the
follicle, (the skin depression from which the hair
emerges), of each individual hair, which can cause
swelling, redness, pinpoint scabbing and even scarring.
Electrolysis requires anesthesia, is expensive and needs to
be done regularly for 1 or 2 years to achieve final
results.
Laser treatments for female facial hair removal can provide
results within six to eight treatments - If you can afford
the hefty cost. Because laser hair removal involves a hot
laser light, "zapping", the hair follicles, these
treatments require the use of a topical anesthetic.
One last thing - If you do your own research you'll
discover there is one more hair removal method that will
help you finesse your female facial hair.
