I'm a bearded lady

[RussellSprout]

I've always been 'hirsute' but now I'm in my 40s I seem to be growing a beard! I pluck daily but its quite time consuming and if I miss a day there will be thick black hairs springing up within 24 hours.

How do others deal with this - anyone done anything that really works?

Would IPL / laser work?

Try Philips Lumea - there’s a thread about how good these are

Try laser. It works really well if you have fair skin and dark hair. I know how you feel, its so upsetting and time consuming dealing with facial hair. It has made such a difference to me. No more ingrown hair too.
Also, go for a medical grade laser. Ask about the type of laser at your patch test.
