Hello, i wanted to know if there is any way, besides shaving because i know that it grows back thicker if you shave, to get rid of facial hair.?

Misinformation: Shaving does not cause hair to grow back thicker. It is probably the easiest way of removing facial hair but it is quite temporary. Plucking lasts about six weeks but is tedious. Same with waxing. Eflornithine is expensive and must be applied regularly. Laser and electrolysis may be permanent when done properly but again expensive.
