Facial hair removers Question

Kitty Galore — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 15:06:32 GMT

I've watched the presentation of the pop sonic facial remover and wondering if you remove facial hair will it encouerage the hair to grow in coarser? Has anyone used this product or another type of device like it and what are your thoughts.

That's a fallacy. I've used a facial hair remover cream from Avon for the past 30 years or so and it works wonders!

@Kitty Galore

I have heard that, too, about shaving. It makes hair grow back darker and coarser. So I have never shaved my face. But what I do use is an epilator to remove peach fuzz and the rouge whiskers. lol

I have been doing it for years. And the frequency has gone down. Nowadays, I do it every 7-8 weeks or so. It can be a little painful... around the lip is the worst. But my hair has grown back softer, finer over the years... Totally worth it IMO. My make up lays better, too.

I use it on my legs, too. It's not painful at all to me... But I can't use on my under arms. It is way too painful for me there. I have tried many times to do it and can't.

I use an emjoi epilator that I bought on the Q years ago. My hair does not grow back in more coarse but I can't go 7-8 weeks like the other poster said. Seems like I get it out every couple of weeks but it doesn't take long and agree that my skin care and makeup seems to go on much better.

@Kitty Galore it doesn't increase growth according to my derm. As the hair grows, it is thicker at the base and therefore feels a bit more, but as it grows and thins you have the same amount of hair you had before you shave. That makes sense to me. I have been shaving my legs for about 70 years now - never saw an increase in the amount of hair I had to shave off.

I use Flawless by Finishing Touch. It gets all the hairs off. I do think it makes the hair more coarse. But when the other poster said about how it grows back seems to make sense too. All I know is that it does feel different.

No,hair does not grow back more frequent or coarser if you use a hair remover. I've used a shaver product to remove peach fuzz from my face for years and have never experienced this.

I've been shaving my face for eons. If it was true about the hair growing back coarser then I would be sporting a thick beard by now and I'm not.

I use a Panasonic 'Close Curves' ($20) wet/dry cordless trimmer. Works great everywhere.

What will encourage hair growth on your face is using a copper peptide serum. In fact many hair growth products contain copper peptide as an active ingredient to stimulate the hair follicles to produce hair. CP works similar to the way minoxidil works...it's basically a vasodilator which causes increased blood flow to hair follicles leading to increased hair growth.

I also have the Panasonic Close Curves.....I was shocked at how MUCH peach fuzz it mowed off........

Ever see bald men getting thicker darker back from shaving their heads? Believe me, if it worked that way we'd know!

@SilleeMee OH I want to avoid that CP stuff! Yikes! Is there a name for it other than Copper Peptide?

Gotta look out for that!

@Sooner

One very popular brand here is Isomers Copper P Concentrate Serum. Most serums containing CP will usually have it clearly labeled on the bottle as 'Copper Peptide', Copper-P or sometimes just abbreviated 'CP' or 'Cu'.

When my son was about 10 years old, we were both sitting at the kitchen table and he said, "You have a mustache." I said, "Yeah, but it's blonde." He responded, "Yeah, but it's still a mustache." After that day I NEVER had a mustache again!!!

I tried creams to remove it, but I'm blonde and fair and they caused reddening. So I've been using an electric shaver since then. I only have to shave about once a week.

Edited to add: No, the hair doesn't grow back any differently than before shaving.

@SilleeMee it's not really coarser - but the initial growth feels a bit more spikey than hair that's several days into growth above the skin and that makes us think more hair is growing

@SilleeMee I've been using that same Panasonic for several years. It's a great razor for a small price. Highly recommend.

Remember this thing? I still have one and it works. Back in the day I used it on my face and it did a really good job, hurt a little but the hair grew back soft and over time some of the hair didn't come back at all. The new version of the Epilady doesn't hold a candle to the original one.

So, I may be the exception here, but I use the little flip top razors...inexpensive and come in a pack of 3 or 5 from Amazon. No issues with thicker hair growing back thick, coarse or darker.
