My friend, whose problem is worse than mine, goes for threading, and it's cheap.
Local large store has a lady in a franchise space.

It could have been me, anno, I'm always banging on about my Wizzit whenever this type of problem comes up. Great for upper lip hair too! smile

On the advice of someone (sorry I forget whose) I bought a Wizzit hair removal device from Amazon. I didn't have a bad problem, but was always conscious of those hairs that did appear. The gadget grips and removes even tiny hairs so I don't have to use it very often. And it's cheap! I am very grateful to whoever recommended it.

Just book a monthly wax- they getter sparser the more times you do it but never seem to completely go.

Frankly, I don't think there is a real answer. It's just one of those things that happen as we get older, and all you can do is try plucking/waxing etc.
They do seem to spring forth overnight! shock

Trouble is that they are probably grey or white so electrolysis and laser won't work as no pigments. I don't know what works and have the same problem and tweezers. Hope a GN'er has the answer.

Does anyone have a solution for those wretched hairs that grow on your chin once you are past the menopause. I am tired of tweezering them out and swear they multiply daily. There has to be a way of eradicating them once and for all, just don't know what it might be.
