I've changed my name because I think I might get virtually stoned, but this is not a joke, so here it goes...

I would like to find a decent reputable place that does hair removal...

hard hat on...

for my 3 year old DD

Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush

Right, I know it would not be the orthodox thing to do but here's the thing; my DD has got a lot of hair between her eyebrows, pretty much like a uni-brow, but what makes it even worse is that the section of hair between her brows is shaped like a 'V' so it gives her a very harsh expression.

I know she's only 3 but that hair is not going to go on its own and you all know that like it or not, it will become an issue when she's a little older and other girls make fun of her.

I would really like to find a permanent painless solution for this so I hope somebody can help me.

Thank you.

I very much doubt you'll find anyone who would attempt permenant hair removal on a child.

That said I can see why you would want to so I'm putting away my pitchfork

Threading?

But threading is a bit painful [wuss emoticon] and not permanent.

You need afew sessions of laser hair removal, for it to be permanent, and it is painful too.

I don't know what else to suggest as creams and lotions will be too harsh for her young skin.

Has anyone else commented on it? Are you sure it is as bad as you describe?

can you take a photo-from the nose up, so we can see?

You can get a hair inhibting cream on prescription from the GP, called vaniqua. In fact I'd see if the GP could help in any other way too. Good luck Smile

Yes agree with aristo - go to a nice GP and discuss.

You need to speak to a dermatologist I think - ask your GP for a referral.

I am sure that in London you will find plenty of doctors of non-white/Anglo ethnicity who are used to this problem.

I can't help with the hair removal thing but thought you should know that my niece had a very obvious mono-brow when she was 2/3 but it is practically unnoticeable now (she's 5).

She still has dark hairs but they are now very fine, plus she has a fringe which works well.

Perhaps wait and see if it actually remains an issue when she is older.

It is a tricky one because I am not sure how you rationalise painful hair removal with teaching her that she doesn't have to conform or look a certain way Confused
