A member asked:
Is it safe to take out upper lip hair using tweezers? will it grow back thicker or darker in colour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: Yes it is safe to tweeze hair out, although it is painful. Hair will grow at a fixed rate whether it is plucked or not, so you won't alter the hair by tweezing it.
