Jonith Breadon, MD answers: How to get rid of facial hair?

I am 16 years old, and I have the worst facial hair problem. I have hair everywhere! How do I get rid of it? Will laser hair removal help?

If you are 16 years old and you are experiencing severe facial hair, I recommend that you see a doctor (Internal Medicine, Gyne or Endocrinologist) to first insure that you don't have a hormonal imbalance causing the excessive hair.  Laser hair treatment is still the best treatment for unwanted (facial) hair and permanent hair reduction, no matter what the cause.
