Yes but it is costly. Laser and electrolyses will remove hair. Laser is cheaper and faster but it may not work for everybody and it leaves hair behind. Electrolyses gets it all but I spent several years and a bunch of money. Sadly the best thing to do would be to get you on blockers so it doesn't get any worst but I remember your other threads and I understand it isn't going to happen.

Blockers might reduce the body hair as it does in some people but facial hair is pretty permanent. I understand your pain. While I only had a light beard to deal with, I was really glad when I no longer had to shave.

Laser and/or electrolysis is pretty much the only permanent solution. Check if laser will be suitable for you (you need dark hair and light skin) otherwise you're likely restricted to electro.
