Brief Answer:
Go for laser treatment or waxing or bleaching, avoid shaving
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcare magic
I have gone through your complaints and according to me you should go for laser hair reduction treatment to get rid of these facial hair.
If you want to avoid laser treatment then go for waxing or use bleaching cream to conceal them.
Don't go for shaving of these hair as shaving can cause folliculitis and appearance of stubble
.
Shaving shouldn't be used as a method of scrubbing. Instead go for regular cleansing of the skin.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.

Dr Asmeet
