Unless a woman has plans on joining a circus side show or appearing as an ugly witch in a stage production, facial hair is an unwanted physical characteristic that can undermine a woman’s confidence and sex appeal. Fortunately, learning how to get rid of facial hair on women is something that can achieve the desired results at a price that suits a woman’s budget.

Laser Hair Removal

The use of low intensity laser light is among the latest high-tech methods of getting rid of facial hair on women, but also the most costly. When done under the guidance of a trained professional, this method of hair removal can be relatively painless, with some temporary redness or swelling of the treated area as the only side effects. Most facial hair can be removed in one treatment. This is a good permanent solution to the problem of unwanted facial hair.

Hair bleaching products

Another effective but less costly method than laser hair removal is the use of hair bleaching products at home. This can be especially effective when the hair involved appears on the woman’s upper lip. Bleaching products work to hide the hair’s appearance so that an individual looking at a woman with facial hair growth won’t even see the hairs. Caution must be used with any hair bleaching product, however, as skin may be allergic or highly irritated when using this product. Be sure to follow all product directions and apply a test spot to the skin prior to working on a large area, as well as avoid the areas around the eyes.

Shaving and plucking

Although shaving away or plucking out facial hair can be painful and time-consuming, these methods of getting rid of facial hair on women are among the most economical. Apply a softening shaving cream to the affected area, and use a clean disposable sharp razor to remove the hair. If there are only a few stray hairs that must be removed, use a clean tweezer to pluck them out every two to three weeks. Apply ice to the area to numb it prior to this procedure to minimize the pain.

Creams and waxes

There are affordable professional quality products available at your local pharmacy or drugstore such as depilatory creams and hair waxes that can help to remove facial hair. Creams are applied to the affected area for a few minutes to remove the hairs below the root, but care must be taken on sensitive skin and to avoid usage around the eye area. Hair waxes are usually heated, then applied and covered with a cloth strip which is ripped away quickly to pull out the hairs, which can prove uncomfortable and leave the area slightly red and irritated for a few hours. The use of creams or waxes to remove facial hair must usually be done on a bi-weekly or even weekly basis, depending up the speed of hair growth.
