Help For The Dreaded Facial Hair?



Recommended Posts

I just saw this ad on tv and for $14.99, I am thinking it might be worth trying. I checked out their website, but am curious, have any of you heard of this or had any experience with it? If you have, with you mind sharing your thoughts?

Susan, I just looked it up on google and Amazon. The reviews on amazon are pretty bad, including a couple who said it broke very quickly. It's WAY cheaper on amazon, though, only about $8.

Ahhh, doesn't sound good. I guess I should have done that, lol. Thanks for checking. I am just so tired of the daily battle with facial hair. Man, getting older is great in some ways, and not so much in others.

I've used something similar before, it's a little battery operated razor. I prefer shaving with a regular razor.

Here's a link to my shaving discussion here: (hope it works)

Yeah, I vote for just shaving it off too. If you don't need a full size razor, buy some of those little bitty ones for the bikini area. They are just a little bigger than your thumb nail. Of course shaving is a daily task { but so would be using this thing}. I use it for emergencies, but I prefer good old fashioned slanted tweezers. This keeps the woolies away for weeks :0)

I purchased a No No and it really sucked. It also burned the hair and boy did that stink. It was a waste of money. ;)

My mom bought one of those too. She didn't like it either.

My dermatologist that prescribed Vaniqua for me.. Anybody tried it?? I tried laser treatments a few years ago... It got expensive, but the hair was drastically reduced and still isn't as much as it was before the treatments...

I tried Vaniqua years ago, and found it to be pretty ineffective. I had thought about trying it again, to see if it has improved any over the years.

I have a lighted 10x mirror and every morning and sometimes in the evening after I take of my makeup I get the tweezers out.

I carry this mirror everywhere even when I travel. I bought it at Bed, bath and beyond. for somewhere between $30-50. It is a lifesaver. I can finally see those tiny hairs that are stiff but couldn't find in the regular mirror!

Rhonda, I will have to check that out. I never see them at home, then end up in the car going somewhere and that is always where those little buggers show up, never fails.

Susan,

I had this exact conversation w/my sister-in-law last week. I'm getting har on the sides of my face? Anyway, she sent me to Sally's for a facial waxing kit. It's strips about finger size to do various facial areas. She said it's what she uses and it works great for her. Just a thought...

Hey ladies. I recently discovered threading. The lady I go to does an awesome job and it lasts around 4 weeks. I do touch ups but that's just the neurotic part of me from having the hair growth for so long. Maybe that would help?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
