Question - (28 March 2011) 6 Answers - (Newest, 29 March 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm 22 now and i've had this problem since I was 14. Unfortunately, when the hair started to grow very light, i didn't know that tweazing and waxing it would make it worst.

Now, i'm at the point where i shave almost everyday (and if i skip a day, my chin and sideburns feel really ruff). It's so embarassing and I hate it. I'm still a student and don't make a lot of money, so I couldn't afford laser hair removal. I am really pretty but I'm just so desperate and i really, really can't take it anymore.

I feel that my boyfriend of 2.5 year is not attracted to me anymore. Because I was always shaving my facial hair but I left it for 2 months because I started going to laser hair removal thingy. But he saw me for two months like this. Would any boyfriend would stand seeing his girlfriend full of facial hair?

I booked my second laser treatment appointment for tomorrow, so finally I will remove all this hair again..

Do you think seeing me without hair and so confident (like before) will make my boyfriend attracted to me again? Boys and girls help me..

fi_the_tree agony auntIt may very well be the reason he lost interest in you. As much as we all say it's not.... appearance is very important to a lot of people. Try talking to him about it and ask him to be honest with you. If he loves you, he'll be honest with you. Just be prepared that this could be the reason he's lost interest, but then again, it might be something else, or not you at all. He could be worried or stressed over a combination of things.

Just talk to him hun :)

fi_the_tree agony auntyou can bleach the hair inbetween laser treatments. Shaving will mean that the hair grows back thicker and darker each time, waxing should mean the hairs grow back slower and finer over time (but it is very painful...)

You can buy hair removal creams for the face, which will remove hair from sensetive areas.

There are plenty more options out there for you hun that aren't as expensive.

If your boyfriend loves you, he'll stand by your side :)

I actually went doctors did so many tests and all my hormones ate normal.the hair problem comes from family. And as i said tweezing and waxing made it really bad. I will get over my hair problem soon I hope.

My actual question was 'is my facial hair is the reason that my boyfriend lost interest in me? or after removing them tomorrow with laser, will this make him attracted to me again"

Because I was always shaving my facial hair but I left it for 2 months because I started going to laser hair removal thingy. But he saw me for two months like this. Would any boyfriend would stand seeing his girlfriend full of facial hair?

DrPsych agony auntI have polycystic ovaries and that causes a whole lot of hair growth where us ladies would prefer not to have any. Laser therapy is a temporary solution if the cause of the hair growth is a hormonal imbalance. I did a course of laser torture a while ago but it grew back eventually - you have to go for top ups, or in my case I bought a home laser machine for about £500. It may sound a lot of money but compared to the long term costs of clinic treatment then it isn't so bad. There are a few machines out there on the market available for home-use that have clinically proven results (and a lot of gimics that are not powerful enough to do the job). There are also creams available such as vaniqa but they should be used under medical supervision.

If you have facial hair then you should have a consultation with your doctor. It maybe a genetic thing that runs in your family (take a good look at your female relatives). However if it is a hormonal imbalance then it requires treatment. Having laser therapy without correcting the hormonal imbalance will mean the hair will return after a short while since the follicles are being stimulated by testosterone. You are probably more fixated with the hair than your boyfriend - I know I am! We live in a world where women are not expected to be hairy. It is not the worst thing in the world - think about people who have permanent facial disfigurement who cannot do anything about it. You have to develop a sense of humour about the hair thing - I find it is a better way of dealing with it. The fact that your boyfriend isn't that bothered by the hair means it is either not as visible to others as you think or he has depth of character to see beyond the superficial.
