Is there anything that will get rid of my peach fuzz?

Anti-agers no one but you need know about

QI’M SO troubled by my strong white-blonde facial hair that it’s affecting my confidence. Is it true that new lasers can remove white hair?

ASoME clinics claim this, but sadly, it’s untrue. Lasers are attracted to pigment, which absorbs energy, this then destroys the hair containing the pigment.

if hair is white, light blonde or light grey, the treatment is pointless.

But ‘old-fashioned’ electrolysis, which inserts a fine probe into each follicle and destroys its bulb with heat, does work.

it’s arduous and not painless and, depending on how much hair you want removed,

can take up to 20 sessions over 18 months.

it is permanent, but at £30£60 per session can cost more than £1,000. certified therapists are at electrolysis.co.uk; laser specialist Debbie Thomas

(dthomas.com) says to seek out those with ‘blend’ technology machines, which are gentler and more effective.

A temporary solution (results last three weeks maximum) is dermaplaning, where a therapist uses a surgical scalpel to scrape off the hair and superficial skin layer.

Skin is left glowing as the treatment acts as a deep exfoliation. get this done in a clinic or medispa overseen by a doctor (it costs from about £60) but stay clear if your skin is very sensitive or if you have active acne.
