this message was sent to me to be asked privately.



I made some dumb mistakes with AS use in the past. I'm older and wiser now, but am left with having to shave my face almost everyday. This is most embarassing, so I am afraid to ask my Dr or anyone else for that matter what, if anything can be done about it? or am I stuck with this?

I'd suggest getting laser done.

Ditto! May need more than one round as well. You're gonna have to be less aggressive with future use or you'll end up with the same problem again.

x2 as long as she's not going to go back on because then laser won't do squat.

Thousands of dollars later you realize that it really is not. But that is considering one continues to use. You have to eliminate the source of the problem for treatment to be effective.

If you are lucky and have good insurance, you could get your dermatologist to prescribe Vaniqa. Its a cream that slows down the growth of hair rather than removes it. So with continued treatment you would have to shave less and less often. However, it is only effective as long as you are using it and most insurance plans will not cover it because they consider it for cosmetic use. I even tried to find a way around that and had a derma contact the insurance to plead with them. The hair follicles were getting infected and the continued waxing was making acne treatment almost impossible. So we tried to use that story to get insurance to cover my script...but all my attempts were futile. The cream costs about a few hundred dollars for hardly a month's supply.


Laser. Thousand of dollars out. No gear. Hormonal management. Problem solved.

I would highly recommend laser hair removal as well. I did away with anything I would normally have to shave and I am pleased with that decision.

i would love to have my bikini area done. is it $$$..i can only imagine! i had laser treatment for my skin and they were 350$ a pop.

I've had laser done for my armpits and brazilan. It is definitely worth it. It doesn't treat blond hairs though, so I still have a few blondies.

[prettymuscles]

I have done laser in the past only went for 4 sessions which worked but I have to go back obviously since i'm darked haired and at the time it was $270 a pop.. I'm def. going back in the fall/winter. My insurance will pay for it if prescribed by a psychologist only.. Do I need to fake I have psychological issues because of it...
