I'm afraid of laser hair removal, What are some good alternative ways for me?

[Anonymous]

I've no problem with my body hair my back is naturally hair free and other parts of body have some thin hair and much less most men.
My problem is with my facial hair rather than my beard I've thick hair on my forehead my cheeks and my ears due to side effects of using an skin care medicine.
What can I do to get rid of it?

If you're middle eastern, you should know sugar hair removal.. It's very popular there. Any Pharmacy has Sugar Products. You can do it at home. Spread a thin layer of the sugar on your forehead then pull it out. The cons of this method can be skin irritation sometimes.
The pros : you can do it by yourself, and it takes a long time till hair grows again.
Wax and thread have no cons, but you probably need someone to do it for you.

Yes heard about it but also heard its very painful.

It's only painful, not very painful, for the sensitive areas of the body. If women and young girls can do it, you definitely can do it. In the end, you have to sacrifice something to get a better look, whether it be by some pain, embarrassment, or taking risks like in lasers. Godd luck.

wax... it'll last longer than shaving. it doesn't usually leave the bumps you get from shaving (aka razor burn)

Thank you. Can I do it myself at home or need to go to salon?

[heywat]

i'd go to a salon a few times to begin with till you are more familiar with how they do it. you can get at home kits but be careful the face is super sensitive and sometimes the microwave kind can get too hot and will burn you

don't be afraid... concentrate on the results. it's a little painful because i've done a few laser hair removal in my facial hair to make them less thicker but the result are ok

First I decided to go for it but then I searched and fond some worst side effects! Also I have seborrhoeic dermatitis and am in treatment now.

What race are you and what colour is your hair?

[Asker]

Middle eastern and my hair is black.

Well, I will assume you have fair skin. Your hair and skin type is perfect for laser. Go and book a consultation with a specialist. Talk through your fears- she/he will answer all your queries and they will also suggest the best alternative methods for you.

Thank for your opinion. But forgot to say that I also have seborrhoeic dermatitis problem and am in treatment of it. But as you said its better to book a consultation with a specialist first.
