Permanent hair removal for upper lip hair?

I have a problem on upper lip hair and I really hate it. It boosts down my self-confidence. I tried waxing using Sally Hansen. It is quite effective for only 3 weeks. It's true that hair doesn't grow thicker after waxing but more hair grows. Also, waxing dries up my upper lip skin.

I'm planning to have a laser hair removal (electrolysis or IPL, whatever) but I really don't know where. Is it okay even if I'm only 18 years old? Where would you recommend? I'm trying to find a trusted clinic but also not that much expensive.

The lowest price I saw was on Let's Face It, costs about 1800php.

I also saw the adds of Facial Care Centre but I think it's very expensive.

Can you give me some advice or recommendations?

If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with a slight moustache.

If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

Today, laser hair removal is a true blessing for women and men who have a chronic problem with unwanted hair growth. This is not the fine, peach-fuzz hair hair that most people have on their faces, but the coarser, darker hair that sprouts in areas of th ebody where it is not desired. These include the chin, upper lip, underarms, legs and the hairy chests of men. Nearly, 20 percent of those seeking laser hair removal are men.

Laser hair removal works through a light wavelength that targets these dark colored materials on your skin. This is usually the pigment of the hair. It works through a hand held device that targets these areas and removes hair from them. It works the best on those with fair colored skin and dark colored hair. The darker the skin閳ユ獨 pigment the more difficult the procedure of laser hair removal will work on you.

Laser hair removal is quite expensive as well, ranging from several hundred dollars to over $1000 per session depending on the affected body area.

I have the same problem, but I'm only 13. So I can't do much about it but wax it myself. I think you should continue waxing %26amp; maybe save up for a permanent hair removal =)

make sure to do reasearch on these places as that procedure does sometimes cause scaring. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen. I was going to get my side burns done and it was only going to cost me $600 for both so keep searching in your area and I am sure you will find something. Again it doesn't matter your age ...it actually depends on your skin type, the laser being used and the operator of the laser. Hope you find a good one.
