Thanks for info. Do remember Jennifer Saunders saying she did the threading thing and found it incredibly painful. Don't think my useless skin would cope. Which is why I was hoping someone had used one of those very expensive lumea things they sell at Boots.

There was a very long thread about this subject but quite a while ago. It may help you Shizam if you try looking for it.

Have you tried threading? There are lots of beauty bars,they do eyebrows mainly but also upper and lower lip plus chin. A bit public but very effective.

What do you do to avoid the bearded lady thing? I'm Celtic pasty skinned and now growing a downy beard, tashe and jowls. Very pale fine hair but very evident in harsh light. Can't do waxing as skin too sensitive. Do those v expensive laser gizmos I've seen in Boots work? Currently using a JML thing I bought in Asda which basically just trims off the fuzz. Not sure this is best idea for it.
