Beauty question - or is it beast…. Hairy chin

6 replies

JudyP · 19/03/2025 21:45

So I’m perimenopausal and have one or 2 white chin hairs that seem to grow really fast, I check and check and there’s nothing then my DH says there’s a huge one and it’s massive! Out of nowhere seemingly! Has anyone managed to remove them permanently? I read that laser works on pigment so white / blond doesn’t get permanently removed - I pluck them but hate that some days I am walking around with a long hair that everyone one else can see but not me ( near vision is in the toilet too because of my age) any ideas? Thanks

No miracle suggestions - I have started using my epilator on them - as I need really good light to see them which I don't always have time for

You know when it's found one!
(Also do my top lip too - it's agony but so far it seems to be working and not causing me too much of a red rash like waxing does)

Electrolysis may work

Try these! So much easier than other methods —www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Removal-Dermaplaning-Portable-Eyebrows/dp/B00NNPLTBI?

Thanks all - I am wary of dermaplaning as a friends mum did this and then was ill in hospital and grew a full on hairy chin when she couldn’t keep up with it - prefer to permanently remove but as they are so blond I was told electrolysis would work well - I’ll keep plucking

I thought I had just a few, mine are black. I decided to to laser so had to start growing them to cut them with a nail scissors(didn’t want to shave). I discovered I had so many!!!
I used electrolysis in the past on my upper lip and chin, it would make me break out so I would pop them as it looked versus unsightly. It made tiny holes in my skin where the puss was and it took years to heal. I also have a shadow on my upper lip now because the skin darkened where I had the electrolysis done. Can’t get rid of that one now.
What is use is a 10x magnifying mirror which I place by the window so I can see better and pluck them. I also have this habit of running my fingers over my chin to see if I feel any short Stubbs.
Just to specify , I did electrolysis first, then decided on the laser to get rid of the skin discolouration as it did wonders on my legs. Had to stop the laser because of medical reasons.

HRT sorted mine out. I only get the occasional straggler now.
