HEY JEN! YEAH THE HAIR GROWTH IS ALWAYS A PLEASENT THING.....ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARENT SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT! I KNOW THE CREAMS THAT ARE OUT NOW ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY GOOD, BUT VERY EXPENSIVE AND AS SOON AS YOU STOP TAKING IT, IT COMES BACK IMMEDIATELY. I AM NOT A DR. BUT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH FACIAL HAIR FOREVER, WELL MAYBE NOT FOREVER BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT ANYWAY! I DONT KNOW IF THIS HELPS BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE ELECTROLYSIS DONE. INSURANCE MAY NOT PAY FOR BUT IT IS RELETIVELY INEXPENSIVE, NOT PAINFUL AT ALL, AND COSTS AROUND 1.00 A MINUTE AND DEPENDING ON THE SIZE YOU WANT WORKED ON, MAY ONLY TAKE A FEW MONTHS TO COMPLETE. ME ON THE OTHER HAND IS GOING TO TAKE A FULL YEAR, ONCE A WEEK FOR A FULL YEAR! BUT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON IT, BETTER ZAP THE HAIRY DEVILS NOW THEN TO PLUCK AND WAX FOREVER! GOOD LUCK IN YOUR HAIR QUEST, IF MEN WHERE SUPPOSED TO BE HAIRLESS WE WOULD HAVE HAD A CURE A LONG TIME AGO, SO UNTIL WE CAN GROW PENISES INSTEAD OF FACIAL HAIR, WE ARE PRETTY MUCH SCREWED...NO PUN INTENDED!
