I took peppermint supplements and it helped tremendously. Lots of thick dark hair everywhere, I got diagnosed with PCOS -- I'm on the implant, helped a little but still grows, the supplements thinned it out and there is a chemical in it is that helps. I need to go again and get more lasers done since it's been a year, which keeps them at bay. If you're going to shave, I recommend rose oil on your face especially, keeps it soft and smooth so it doesn't look like you shaved your face, been there done that!

Tria goes on sale from time to time at Nordstrom. I am member of sephora rewards and i splurged on one when I had a 20% discount and it happened to come with a lot of extra products. It is a lot but it is far less than multiple laser appointments. And it works. It takes time and you have to shave not wax or pluck while using but it works.

How long did you take the peppermint supplements before you noticed a difference? I'm on my second bottle but have yet to see much of an effect. I don't know if I should just have more patience or if it's just not going to work as well with me. I'm only taking 2 a day, as that's the recommended amount for the one I have. I've been sugaring (like waxing), and that seems to be helping, but I'm still getting the hairs at the same rate.

I've been looking into laser, but was told it would be ineffective on me because I'm blonde... soooo I just wax my upper lip (which is where it grows the most), or tweeze it... I get a few on my chin and under chin, but I can keep those under control by tweezing - I can feel them, can't really see them.

My middle sister has a huge problem with hair under her chin and on her upper lip - she's darker then I though, so its more noticeable... she shaves though :/

Still looking into laser - but I thought laser was permanent - why do you keep having to go back @@Lema ? is it because of the PCOS? I don't really understand what PCOS is, as I've only heard of it mentioned here.

Some laser is permanent some is not. With permanent you have to do multiple sessions.

I used the Tria laser- yes, it was expensive, but I saved up for it & got it on sale.

The reason you have to do multiple treatments with lasers is because your hair grows in 2 week cycles- the laser only works during the growth phase. So you repeat treatment every 2 weeks so you get it all.

Tria only works on light-medium skin tones with dark hair - Which is me.

      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.

      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...
