Dark upper lip needs constant waxing and only lasts very short until fuzz and tiny hairs grow back. What more permanent solution worked for you?
Thank you!

I had really thick dark hair did electrolysis for about 4 years (I think) and clean since. I can probably use a touch up but yes I would say it’s pretty much permanent.

Laser is definitely the way to go! I did laser 12 years ago, it has recently started to come back. I'm doing laser again now.

You shouldnt be doing laser on your face- and IPL is ineffective.
Electrolysis is the best option.

laser and some touch up electrolysis as needed. I did it many years ago. Super happy. I think I did about 5 laser sessions

How much did you pay for electrolysis?

Why shouldn't you do laser on the face? I never heard of this.

I have also heard not to do laser on your face. I did electrolysis years ago and yes it is permanent. It took time but I haven't had any hair in years

I did laser and it was like, life-changing, for me. But since then I've heard that you shouldn't do laser on the face, and I heard that the person who did it for me doesn't do it (on the face) anymore.

Also, I think one reason laser worked so well for me is that I was in my upper 30's and have not been pg since I did it. People who undergo hormonal changes can have to repeat laser all over. Electrolysis is much more permanent in this regard.

I did electrolysis years ago. For 2 years. I go for a touch-up every couple of years. I went recently. Before that I prolly hadn't gone in 8-10 years.

Was painful. But so worth it.

Was thinking about doing electrolysis. How much would it cost per session? Any good recommendations in Boro Park?

I also have that problem, so annoying!
I used to wax it myself, which was painful and didn't last.
Recently did laser for about 6 sessions. It burns a bit afterwards, but for dark hair it's really good!
Now I just have to use a razor on some fuzz maybe once every month but the big dark hairs are pretty much gone!

I always waxed and like op it’s just becoming more and more of a pain to do because it just keeps on coming back. So I’m looking for a more permanent solution. Between electrolysis and laser which one is less painful?

How long/how much does it take? I have very very thin light blonde fuzz, that I currently do nothing to (don't want to make it darker by waxing) but I'm super self-conscious about and I'd rather just get rid of it... any recommendations of someone in flatbush?

your saying that laser was painless? I keep on hearing from people that laser hurts like crazy but the people I know who have done laser are talking about other body parts not on they’re face. Maybe laser interacts differently on different parts of skin. ?
