Permanent facial hair removal is the preferred option for women looking to remove unsightly facial hair. A common problem with women who have hormone imbalances or the tendency to develop hirsuteness, facial hair removal is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Whether you use hair removal facial creams prescribed by a physician to home electrolysis kits and facial waxing, here are a few "permanent facial hair removal options" for women that will reduce hair growth and eventually keep skin smooth and hair-free.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • waxing kits for the face
  • laser hair removal
  • an appointment with a physician to review electrolysis and/or medications to retard hair growth on the face

    Use facial hair wax. As a byproduct of frequent waxing, the hair on your face will be reduced considerably. If you are looking for a beauty bargain instead of visiting a salon, find an at-home cold and hot wax kit to remove unsightly and unwanted facial hair using sugaring.

  2. Step 2

    Consider electrolysis to remove your facial hair permanently. During electrolysis, a needle is inserted into the hair follicle. The hair is zapped when a electric current travels down the needle to complete the electrolysis treatment. Following a quick swipe of your tweezers, hair is removed from the follicle instantly.

  3. Step 3

    Consider using "laser hair removal" as a permanent facial hair removal option. Laser treatment begins with a thick layer of black-colored solution applied to the skin. This layer of solution, insulates the epidermis from the effects of the laser and activates the heat from the instrument. The dark solution is then absorbed into the hair follicles. Once the solution makes contact with the laser,the hair follicle is destroyed instantly, thus retarding hair growtn.

  4. Step 4

    Visit your dermatologist or a licensed physician for additional permanent facial hair removal options. Your physician can recommend the apporpriate facial hair removal options and diagnose whether the abnormal hair growth is due to a hormonal imbalance of androgens, or due to polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS.)
