Can't have laser treatment on my face.

Like a lot of ladies I have started to get lots of dark hairs above my lip, on my chin down to my neck.
I've saved up and today went to my first consultation to be told that because I have had breast cancer she isn't prepared to do it in case it causes me problems.
She was lovely and explained how it could affect me.

Back to the cream.

If it’s any consolation, mine only lasted about two years after laser treatment before coming back as bad as it was before (I have PCOS). I had a few top ups but eventually gave up and went back to other methods. At least you’ve saved some money this way!

How did she say it could affect you?

@DietrichandDiMaggio she was told during training that it could change how my body reacts to the laser and further down the line cancer or some other problems might occur.
She admitted that this wasn't guaranteed but she wasn't prepared to take the risk.
But she also said that some companies might ignore those things.

Have you considered Electrolysis ?

I was looking into getting "peach fuzz" removed and after researching looks like it's the only way ..
