Suggest Ways To Permanently Remove Facial Hair
Question: Hi.. I get threading done of my eyebrows, upperlips and chin. But I want to stop this now. Is there any way I can stop the hair growth from these areas without hair removal methods, like if growth can be stopped using some cream or tablets?
Brief Answer:
Laser hair removal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Of all the hair removal methods that exist, only one stands out to be very efficient in permanent hair reduction which is laser hair removal.
Laser with its high energy beam destroys the growing hair follicles and thereby imparts permanent hair reduction.
Usually a session of laser is done every 20-30 days interval for 6-8 times depending upon regrowth.
The best lasers for hair removal are diode laser and long pulse NdYAG laser.
You can get all the additional information about laser hair removal from your dermatologist.
Apart from laser, there do exist a cream which contains eflornithine and it claims to reduce hair growth of affected areas and is a substitute for people who donot want to undergo other treatments like laser etc but practically, the cream is not very useful and thus not a very viable option to remove/reduce hair growth.
Hope the information was useful.
Thank you
