Woman With Extra Hair On Face

I have pcos, started getting hair on my chin after my first child. I gained 60lbs with her. She is 14 now. I never lost the weight and just gained more. The hair on my chin was bad...I needed to pluck or wax every day. I was sleeved on aug 14th. Since my pre-op diet (aug 9th) I have lost 33lbs. The hair isn't growing like it was!!!!! I only have to pluck 3 times a week!!!!! Has this happened to anyone else?

I haven't experienced it, but I'm looking forward to it.

One can only hope!! I am so sick of plucking chin hairs!!! lol

I have been going to a new waxing/ threading place and having new stuff used rather than struggling to do it myself so I have noticed a reduction but had not connected it to my weight loss and had thought it was the result of a new beauty technician.

You have got me thinking that maybe it is from the weight loss! Yay!

I think my unwanted hair has slowed down as well... I didn't have to wax every day (probably should have though) but waxing seems to be lasting longer!

Sally Hansen Sugar Wax is the only way to go. You can get good strips from Sally Beauty Supply, and reuse that wax over and over. Cut the strips into sizes you need. I've been doing this for over 12 years. I pluck my own eyebrows, and even now, sometime my mustache hairs if they are dark and I don't have time or desire to wax.

I have pcos as well. I've been getting mine lasered off and recently purchased a machine to do it at home. It was expensive but worth every penny to not have to worry about missing a hair and being embarrassed.
