Title: Quick Question.
Post by: Lessa on March 04, 2006, 12:10:07 PM
Ok I'm a currently taking a pill that decreases the amount of testosterone that my body makes and I was wondering dose that prevent my facial hair from growing? If so, how long would you guys suggest I wait before I look in to electrolysis or laser hair removal?

Thanks in advance.

-Love always, Lessa

As I have been told, estrogen and anti testosterone might slow down hair growth on your Body, it will have NO effect on facial hair.

I'm throwing this in because I know you're still in high school.  The only effect it will have is it will stop you from growing additional areas of hair.  In other words, if you have just a few spots of facial hair and would have grown much more in the next 10 years, then that should stop.  Any facial hair you are already growing will continue though.

I recommend that you start doing some research on LHR and electrolysis before you spend any money.  After you have completed your research I would begin treatments because it will take approximately 2 years to reach completion.  Permanent hair removal is not an instant process and it does take time.
