Thread: Facial Hair..

I am 24 years old and i have been diagnosed with polysictic ovaries. I have tried everything to get rid of unwanted body hair but it seems that nothing really works. I am on my 4th treatment of laser hair removal and i am just crossing my fingers hopping that this will work. I got married last year and my husband is very excepting of my condition, he goes to all of my appointments with me and even when i was too embarrassed to walk into the waxing parlor infront of all of the other women, he went in with me...i think you should open up to your finace about everything if he loves you he willl accept it. laser will also take time to have a lasting effect so it is best you get everything out in the open..................wow i thought i was the only women with this problem for a long time...it feels great to talk to other women who can actually relate.

ZaraNaaz,

Thank you for your response about being honest with your fiance. I have been wondering about sharing my own challenges with facial hair with my significant other and really felt like avoiding the whole thing. But marriage is for better or for worse, and honesty is something I value. Thanks for your advice.

I have the exact same problem! it never bothered me until my "friend" pretty much said i had a beard... I dont know what to do, i trimmed it with scissors but i dont like the way it feels. no i am considering electrolysis but how much would it cost to get this done? has anyone tried anything else and it work?

Hi Ladies!
I'm almost 25 years of age and I also have problems with facial hair. I've been noticing it for the last few years.

I've had blood tests and have been told my hormone levels are ok. I am however morbidly obese and have been simply told that this is causing my hair.

Can anyone verify that this is correct? Ive never heard of anyone getting facial hair due to being overweight. I also have not had a period for several years (also attributed to my weight).

Does this sound right? Whenever I talk to my GPs i get the distinct impression of being 'fobbed off'.

Hi Everyone,

I found this site yesterday and read all the posts in seach of answers for my embarsing hair problem. In reading I saw no mention of threading, which I have recently been doing and have found to be as efective as waxing, so far. My hair grows pretty fast, I was waxing about twice a month and I assume threading will be the same. I think the benifit of threading is that it does not redden the skin or seem to iritate it in the slightest, you feel in for about a minute and then thats it. Have any of you tried threading, and if so how did it work out for you? Also, have you heard of this device (epicare or bellabe) which allows you to thread it yourself? I am thinking of purchasing one but wonder if it really works and if it hurts?

Also, do any of you know why when I pluck my chin hair with tweezers it grows back within just two days? does it not pull it at the root like waxing does or is it just that certain hairs grow faster? I have tried waxing waxing my chin before but I dont recomend this as I found it does come back thicker and darker, plus I can never get the thickest most embarasing ones because I just can't let them grow in.

Erm...yeah. Same boat here.

It would be nice to hear from some of the members who posted earlier, if things have worked out, if they’ve found something that works. I’m scared to death, I don’t want to have to deal with this. =(

Southern rogue,, i'm too over weight and had facial hair problems for some time.I have been told i'm type two diabetic.My doctor just tells me to loose weight weight and i will see a difference in the facial hair problem.I use the wax strips and Vaniqua.Never shave your face.Anyone who is over weight and feels thirsty go have a chat with your GP.
