I have done full legs, lower back, full face and neck. Yep, lol--I have done it!

By the way--upper lip only doesn't cost that much. The facilities around me are shooting the mustache area of $50 a treatment. How many treatments you will need will really depend on you.

I suddenly started sprouting some on my chin a few years ago and I tweeze them. The grow back lees frequently becaus enow I only get one or two every few months. Hurts like heck though

They charge by the area. Chin or upperlip or neck, etc. The technician uses a laser wand and it pulses light. You shave the area first then they put the wand on your skin and it fires a zap. They zap over and over until the area has been fully covered. It's slightly painful, but in a satisfying weird way, since you know that every little shock is a hair follicle being blown away. You go back in every 6-8 weeks, 4-5 times. Sometimes touch-ups are necessary after that if you have new hairs, but it's nothing like it was before.

I would look for a place that uses trained nurses like a dermatologist office. I've seen what the burns and scars can look like if done incorrectly at places advertising it cheap and it's not pretty. It's your face, so be thoughtful about who you trust with it I say!

Oh, and electrolysis uses a needle that is inserted into the hair follicle and then is heated to destroy the follicle. It's one hair at a time, where the lasers do not require the time or precision since they float over the skin. Electrolysis is great if you have light hair or dark skin or just a couple of hairs to take care of.

I found this website assessing various hair removal options that might be of interest:

Thanks to both of you for all this useful information.

My hair is dark brown and I have pale-ish skin so you can see my she-stache if I dont' do something about it. I use Sally Hansen: Cream Bleach! I love it! It only takes 10mins I just put it on after I get out the shower while I get dressed and do my hair. I don't think I will ever wax my lip because then when it starts to come in you have to wait for it to grow long enough to wax it again! With the bleach you can bleach it again as soon as you notice the dark hair coming back. Plus then you don't have to worry about the coarse new hair coming through either... it's still soft & fine. I also have super sensitive skin but never have had a reaction from Sally Hansen products so make sure you do a patch test the 1st time you try it. I think the bleach works just fine for me. I would highly recommend it as an easy fix! You can't even see it because it is so light.

I have the same problem since I stopped the contraceptive pill.

I would not bleach because you still see the "fluff", and it can look so golden that it becomes even more visible in the sun light!

A friend recommended threading which I did last month. It`s supposed to be a lot more precise than waxing. I was very happy with the result and will go back on Friday (so it lasted me 3 weeks).

Warning on laser: It doesn't work for everyone! I started it for my chin and sideburns, and now I have more hair than I started with ?!?! WTF

I been going for like 4 years and have gotten way more than the recommended amount of treatments, and still have hair, and in places I didnt used to.

So be careful.!

I didn't read all the messages. But does anyone use proxide?It works for me. The only problem is you have to keep using it,and my upper lip gets red raw sometimes.:(

Laser can give you permanent scars as well.

Im gonna start waxing mine I believe. But beware cause I bought some eyebrow wax strips called "Hair be gone" I think...and it didnt take off much hair. I guess it was too cheap. I'll be trying Sally Hansen next time. I pluck the ones on my chin.....I think mine are out and about cause my periods are not on schedule, they happen sometimes, and sometimes not. Grossness!

I have fair skin and black hair, and you know what I do with my mustache? I leave it there! Actually my hair is really fine so the only person who probably notices is my dentist, and she's not important.

I, too, wouldn't bleach upper lip hair, because I would be afraid it would really shine in the sunlight. LOL!

Believe it or not, I read this tip and have been doing it about a year and, contrary to popular belief, the hair DOES NOT grow back thicker or coarser.

I use my DH's electric razor moustache attachment to "shave" the peach fuzz on the sides of my face near my neck. And, I've even used it above my lip with no adverse effects and no increased growth.

I think it was on a model's tip site that I discovered this.
