I'm 22, over the past few years the hairs around my jaw/chin area have been getting worse. There's way more, they're coarser, darker & noticeable. I'm constantly plucking them daily but then get acne/ingrown hair bumps all over the area. Someone recommend I shave which I did and they grew in 10 times worse! I've tried at home IPL which didn't work I've also heard people say they've spent thousands on professional laser hair removal and it didn't even work? What can I do? Help!

Answer: Laser hair removal. Hello, laser hair removal would be a good solution for you. You should also get your hormones checked as this growth could be hormone related. IPL is not an approved method of hair removal and anything over the counter for at home use would especially not be strong enough to make a difference. Remember that laser is a process and be patient. You will start to notice a reduction in hair with the first session but you will need to continue treatments. Touch ups will be needed after finishing your series as well. Make sure you go somewhere that has a good fda approved laser and an experienced technician. Good luck!

Answer: Female Facial Hair Hello, Thank you for your question. I advise that you see your doctor to check your hormone levels to make sure its balanced. This can be the leading reason to the coarse hair and rapid hair growth. Although there are medications to help with the hormones I do advise getting laser done with a professional, you will see improvement with ingrown hairs and bumps as well.
