Never heard of it. What is it? I'm just about to start laser treatment for eyebrows and my lovely moustache.

It's a cream licenced in the US and here that slows down regrowth. It can be used with you rnormal form of extraction e.g tweezing. Here is a link - vaniqa .

You can get it on prescription.

I have chin hair mainly which is getting worse as i get older. It's not too bad as I am generally fair but the coarse ones are dark. Soft downy ones are tuning coarser as time goes by.

I have had internal examinations to look for PCOS but no joy. It's a family thing but sometinmes it pisses me off. I have thought about laser but I understand that the light won't work on fairish hair.
