Women often have unwanted facial hair that appears on the upper lip, chin and sides of the face. Before deciding on the proper removal method you should first determine that the cause of the hair growth is not down to hormones.
Tweezing some women choose to tweeze unwanted hairs. But repeated plucking can cause irritation of the hair follicle and, on darker-skinned women, may result in scarring.
Waxing is an effective method to remove hair on the upper lip and fine hair on the sides of the face, but it's not recommended for the chin area where hair tends to be coarser.
Waxing may also be problematic for darker-skinned women, who sometimes experience discoloration due to irritation and inflammation. Depending on the type of hair you have, waxing results should last from two to six weeks.
