Unwanted Hair Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just throwing this question out there...Hoping to see if anyone his some insight. I am 24 yrs old and recently banded 3 days ago. I've been struggling with looots of facial hair growth on my chin and underneath my chin towards my neck area for years. It used to be a small patch, but the heavier I was the worse it got. And recently the blond, peach-fuzz looking hairs on the back of my arms are getting very dark and thick. Ugh! Dr says it's most likely from the excess weight and hormone imbalance. I basically have many symptoms of PCOS without the actual cysts. Anyone have similar problems? Did the hair disappear after weight loss? Worsen? Stay the same? I don't mind waxing, but waiting for it to grow between each time is awful! Pretty disgusting when I grow a better beard then my hubby...(He may have a pretty sad excuse for a beard, but still! Lol!!)

I have the same issue. I hate waxing . It irritates my skin badly. I had laser hair removal and it came back. I bought a No No and it keeps it more under control without the irritation of shaving and waxing. I hope that as I lose more weight the hair follows .

Oh girl - I'm right there with you!! My chin is horrible! I've heard great things about the laser treatment. Friend of mine who was also banded had it really bad and she did the laser and saw AMAZING results. I blame a lot of mine on my genes as I am mixed syrian (middle eastern) so we naturally have a lot of dark hair. However, I've also been told by my GYN that I have all the symptoms of PCOS as well and I do have ovarian cysts, but tested negative for the actual PCOS test. I am hoping to do laser soon, but until then, I may try what Possum84 suggested, the No No.

Sounds like the hair sticks around even after weightloss? Boooo! Lol...I'll definitely look into laser a little further down the road! :) It can get kinda spendy I hear...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
