How to get rid of excessive and unwanted facial and body hair in women

Many women face this problem and it is definitely an embarrassing matter for them. There is no magical formula to get rid of these hair quickly but certain methods are prescribed which can get the desired relief either by removing them through some mechanical process or treating them with certain lotions/waxes to dislodge them and get rid of them temporarily. Let us go through some of the established methods in this area -

1. Threading - Threading is a very effective way of removing the hair though it requires some patience to carry out this procedure. This is done with the help of a thread by making a loop and putting across the hair and then pulling the loop in an inclined direction to the skin with a jerk so that the hair gets dislodged without any hurt feeling. It takes time to master this technique and many people do it themselves while others can go to a beautician for the same who does this professionally and quickly.

2. Coil hair removers - These are metal coiled wires and can be bent in the desired shaped and are to be rolled on the skin and they simply uproot the hair once they come in the grip of the coil. They are faster in their action.

3. Tweezing - This is the most common method and well known to many women. In this method the tweezer is used to pluck the hair one by one. It is time consuming and requires patience. One has to buy a good tweezer which gets hold of hair firmly otherwise it would simply slip on the hair and would not pluck it.

4. Using depilatories - These are in cream form and are having strong alkaline material in them which simply break down the hair and then one can wipe off the face with a warm towel. This is one easy method to get rid of the unwanted hair quickly. Please read the details of the product before using them as some of them can burn the skin.

5. Dermaplaning - This is almost like shaving the skin but only difference is that in this process one has to use a sharp exfoliating scalpel which will remove the top of the skin layer. After using it one has to use a post-shave hydrating serum to smoothen the skin. This is claimed to work for 10-15 days before the new hair are grown. It would be better to take professional advice before venturing for this option.

6. Waxing - This is an old method and in this one has to put the waxing strip on the skin where the unwanted hair are there and then pull it and it would remove the hair. Please note that this has some side effects like creating redness and irritation in the skin and some soothing creams will have to be applied afterwards.

7. Electrolysis - This method requires that the person should go for 2-3 sittings of electrolysis sessions in a laboratory and it is claimed to work successfully in many cases as a permanent hair removing technique. In this method an electric current is sent to the hair using needle-shaped electrode and electrolysis is done to destroy the hair. It would require consultation with the expert.

8. Prescription creams - Some companies manufacture these creams and claim that in 4 to 5 weeks time they will check the growth of hair so that less number of treatments for removing them would be required. One has to use them in individual case to test their efficacy.

Generally, women will have fine hair above their lips and on their chin, chest, abdomen, or back. The growth of coarse dark hair in these areas is called hirsutism. This growth will be male-pattern hair growth. In women, the production of androgens will be at a lower level. These androgens are male hormones. If any lady's body makes an excess of this hormone, we will find excessive growth in such a woman's body. But to know the exact reason is very difficult. In some families, we will see this as hereditary. The use of some medicines may also cause unwanted hair growth.

Dermatologists offer treatments for this problem. Laser hair removal is one of the methods they use. Hormone management, antiandrogen medications and electrolysis are some of the methods they use. They may advise you to use a cream that slows down hair growth. I suggest you contact a good dermatologist in your area.

Still, my first suggestion would be my last, and you should need to work on those practices which help you to maintain a balance in hormonal level. So follow yoga, meditation practices, and some related exercises for hormonal balancement. And always remember you are a beautiful person.

It is normal to have hair in our face and other body parts. It might me thick in your case. You have mentioned that you did undergo many treatments like homeopathic, wax treatments and a few others. Yet you found no satisfying results. One thing you need to keep in mind is whatever method you chose to do for hair removal, you have to follow it patiently. Because you cannot expect quick results and everything needs time.

There are many treatments for hair removal, which you have mentioned as tried. But if you want to go for those treatments, you should do it at regular intervals. Also, you said that your hormones are working normal. But my suggestion is to consult a doctor and follow his/her medications regularly. Do exercises, yoga and meditation to keep you fit and healthy. Do a balanced diet, because hair growth is either because of genetics or bad lifestyle. Find the reason behind the hair growth and do the treatment accordingly.

I'll suggest you some home-made tips.

1. Mix turmeric (not wild turmeric) with warm water and apply the pack in the areas of hair growth in your body. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water. Follow this regularly and patiently, to see the better results.

2. Mix tea tree oil with water and keep it in a spray bottle. Spray a little quantity of it on your face and leave it for a few minutes or maybe for 5 minutes. But don't forget to remember, tea tree oil dries the skin, so don't use it before understanding your skin texture. And if you want to use, mix more water with it in order to dilute the oil.

3. Mix honey, turmeric and curd and apply the paste in the hairy parts. Leave the pack for about 20 minutes. Wash it with warm water. Do this on 3 alternative days in a week.

4. You can use honey and lemon, keeping in mind that lemon is acidic in nature and it may damage some people's skin. Do a patch test to check whether it is allergic to your skin or not. Mix honey and lemon, apply it in the hairy parts, rub it through your fingers for five minutes. Wash with water.

These are some home-made tips I'm aware of. Or there is an other way, just accept the way you are. I know, it's easy to say, hard to accept. So, either accept it or maintain your lifestyle.
