Is it possible for hair on your upper lip to stop growing even though you've been shaving it for a long time?

Specializes in General Practice

Unwanted Hair: I grew up hearing that the more you shave the more you will have to shave. It may not be the best solution to be shaving that unwanted hair. Many young women learn how to wax for these skin and hair concerns. If you or your parents want there is also laser hair removal processes that may help as well.
