I had PCOS and what with the menopause, excess facial hair is a problem.

I've been had electrolysis over the years but it seems a never ending battle. Get rid of one and 5 more spring up to start a wake!

Sadly, I recently looked into lazer treatment - it seemed the answer to my prayers. Unfortunately, my fair haired (that and grey) so it doesn't make me a good candidate.

My doc gave me a prescription for VANIQA® but the cost is horrendous (close to $100) and I can't say I noticed any significant improvement.

A friend of mine has had good results with it but it's only a temporary fix, it doesn't get rid of the hair permanently.

I wish I could find something permanent - it really bothers me.
