Post by: Princess on August 03, 2008, 06:55:16 PM
i hate this peach fuzz that i have, it's very aggrivating. will it go away on hormones? i cannot wait to get on anti androgens at least.

I can't tell you for sure because I haven't started hrt myself, but from everything I've read hormones won't make already present hair go away.  They will stop more from growing, however.    Sorry to disappoint you.

depends on your age. I'm 19 and Over the last 5-6 months my facial hair has really slowed in growth.

I wish there was a miracle way to reverse facial hair. I've gained so much that it isn't even funny anymore.

I am afraid that what you have is there to stay - until you have electrolysis or some other form of removal. Once the androgens are gone, you should have no new hair development.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't peach fuzz just vellus hair? You may have some luck, as long as it's not the thick/coarse beard type hair - that's there to stay. Or I could be misinterpreting...
