I get excessive hair growth under my chin which I have to pluck every day. It's so frustrating because the process takes so long and makes me late to go everywhere but if I don't pluck for one day, the stubs will show and it's obviously embarrassing for a female. What can I do? Contraceptive pill? Laser treatment? Hair inhibiting lotion?

      The problem with waxing is that you have to let it grow out first which looks really unattractive. I have to use so much time and energy to keep the hair growth under control. I can't miss a day of plucking or stubs will show. I gotta look into the laser treatment to kill the follicles and prevent regrowth. I also may need to balance my hormones.

    Can't you use one of those little round shavers or epillators? 

    Slightly larger than a cigarette.  Costs about $20.00

    I use mine all the time.

    How long does it take for the hair to grow back?
