What do you use for lip and chin hairs?

Since the hair on my legs seem to have migrated to my chin and upper lip I would like to know if any of you use hair removal cream, if so which ones, and how long does the hair stay away?  As of now I am plucking them, but they have to grow out so far to be able to get a hold of them.  A pain in the butt!

At this point I only have a few "whiskers" and so I pluck them, but I agree that it is a pain to wait for them to grow out enough to get hold on!

About 11 years ago, I started having my facial hairs waxed.

I never had any upper lip hair or chin hair until after my hysterectomy.

I can not afford the laser, so I guess I will go for the waxing.

The actual name for it is The Erbium-Yag laser, resurface your skin, its expensive to have it done. $350 a treatment but I save my SS check and get it done. Its gone up to $400 a treatment but Jeff my specialist said he would honor the price that he has done in the past.


I had an appointment with him on Jan 13th but that was the morning my sis died, and he said when I can come in and I am going to start from scratch.


It actually tightens the neck and face, and the laser on my ankles for small veins is $100 a treatment, I want to do those before they get larger.


You ought to look the ebrium up.


I think he does sonic also.

I can't afford laser either. So I use a two pronged approach. I pluck out those thick wiry hairs. The rest are shaved off with an dry/wet electric shaver regularly. I bought one of those battered power hair removers, but it doesn't get as close as my old electric razor. My leg hairs have also moved North, so only shave with the electric once in a while. I have a pact with my 2 DILS - if I get hospitalized, they will keep after the facial hairs and keep my hair looking decent, even if it means getting me a wig to wear when company comes - LOL.

I have tried several things. Tweezing..ouch and a couple of hair remover ceams. I am using VEET right now and it works pretty good for a few days. I am thinking about having my lip and chin waxed soon. One of my
