Right now I'm hoping I can get by by just shaving and putting a bunch of make up on. >.<

How much are those things exactly?

Here I found this.

Electroylisis is better, but more expensive and painful.

If you have light skin with dark hair I would go with lazer first then finish whatever is leftover with electrolysis. If you have dark skin or light or red hair then it might be better to just do electrolysis, especially if you don't have very many hairs to begin with.

I have light skin and dark hair, so laser was the better option. Right now, I'm half way through a 2-year treatment regiment that was quoted at $3200, but I was given a discount. It came to $2400. I made a $500 deposit then monthly $200 payments with my last payment being $300.

The results have been fantastic. I now need a minimum of makeup to hide what's left of my beard shadow. If you have light skin and dark hair, and can afford it, I'd recommend laser.

my skin to put as simple as possible is very close toned to a generalised skin tone from someone native to China :) best way to discribe it :)  that to dark ?

and my hair is well B5 that's a very dark brown which appears black its the typical hair colour found in most Asian womyn if i remember correctly :)

I think Asian women would be too dark Zoey. The problem is that it could mess up your pigmentations.
