Help For The Dreaded Facial Hair?



Recommended Posts

I just saw this ad on tv and for $14.99, I am thinking it might be worth trying. I checked out their website, but am curious, have any of you heard of this or had any experience with it? If you have, with you mind sharing your thoughts?

Susan, I just looked it up on google and Amazon. The reviews on amazon are pretty bad, including a couple who said it broke very quickly. It's WAY cheaper on amazon, though, only about $8.

Ahhh, doesn't sound good. I guess I should have done that, lol. Thanks for checking. I am just so tired of the daily battle with facial hair. Man, getting older is great in some ways, and not so much in others.

I've used something similar before, it's a little battery operated razor. I prefer shaving with a regular razor.

Here's a link to my shaving discussion here: (hope it works)

Yeah, I vote for just shaving it off too. If you don't need a full size razor, buy some of those little bitty ones for the bikini area. They are just a little bigger than your thumb nail. Of course shaving is a daily task { but so would be using this thing}. I use it for emergencies, but I prefer good old fashioned slanted tweezers. This keeps the woolies away for weeks :0)

I purchased a No No and it really sucked. It also burned the hair and boy did that stink. It was a waste of money. ;)

My mom bought one of those too. She didn't like it either.

My dermatologist that prescribed Vaniqua for me.. Anybody tried it?? I tried laser treatments a few years ago... It got expensive, but the hair was drastically reduced and still isn't as much as it was before the treatments...

I tried Vaniqua years ago, and found it to be pretty ineffective. I had thought about trying it again, to see if it has improved any over the years.

I have a lighted 10x mirror and every morning and sometimes in the evening after I take of my makeup I get the tweezers out.

I carry this mirror everywhere even when I travel. I bought it at Bed, bath and beyond. for somewhere between $30-50. It is a lifesaver. I can finally see those tiny hairs that are stiff but couldn't find in the regular mirror!

Rhonda, I will have to check that out. I never see them at home, then end up in the car going somewhere and that is always where those little buggers show up, never fails.

Susan,

I had this exact conversation w/my sister-in-law last week. I'm getting har on the sides of my face? Anyway, she sent me to Sally's for a facial waxing kit. It's strips about finger size to do various facial areas. She said it's what she uses and it works great for her. Just a thought...

Hey ladies. I recently discovered threading. The lady I go to does an awesome job and it lasts around 4 weeks. I do touch ups but that's just the neurotic part of me from having the hair growth for so long. Maybe that would help?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
