A member asked:
Are there any medicines available for reducing body hair besides waxing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: If you are female with a hormone problem such as pcos, then medical treatment may help. Metformin and spironolactone can be helpful. Other wise, laser hair removal, intense pulsed light, shaving and waxing all work.
