Getting Rid Of Grey Facial Hairs With A Laser Etc

[joko]

well i just cant win can i?

after years of facial hair - (black hair, olivey toned skin - polycystic ovaries) - the hairs were black, thick and all in the wrong places - ie, my top lip etc

i've been using a laser and it seems to be working - i had to blast them as they're worse than normal - but now im finding that there are a few white/grey hairs there - which apparently a laser will not work on - they need to be dark for it to 'see' them, i guess.

so although there are hardly any dark ones left, i can 'feel' the white ones when i lick my lick or run my finger over it!! arrghh

any ideas what i can do to remove permanently? - i plucked for years but because of the way they are i always end up with red marks and little scabs etc as they're hard to pluck so would rather not have to keep doing that!

i did think to colour them - but you are supposed to shave before hand anyway so bit pointless

also thought maybe using a fineliner pen to 'dot' the follicle and darken it enough for the laser to 'see' it - but i dont know if i am missing the point of it only working on dark hair and that it has nothing to do with 'seeing' it - and so this would be pointless - i have no idea

any ideas?
thanks
sorry for waffling

If money is no object then try a nono. I got one from qvc (90 day trial period) and it has been very successful for me.

how about going to a beauty salon and having a facial wax. It lasts about two weeks.

I was getting laser treatment for a few years but stopped going. Some of the hairs came back

I bought a Rio scanning laser and have been using it, it is not as powerful but I will keep going.

I have some hard wiry thick hairs like you - fair coloured. I think electrolysis might be worth a try.

Like you I have PCOS and have weight problems due to insulin problems. I am now diabetic and just about hitting the menopause.

My hair problem was horrendous to start with but it is just annoying. Most of the hair is gone.

Maybe you might find a source of help on the PCOS website, I think it's called verity.

I have my upper lip waxed approx every 2 months. Once it starts to grow back I bleach it and then wax again. Wish I had started this years ago. The hair does grow back but thinner and paler each time
