There are many ways.: You can try 1) plucking, 2) shaving, 3)waxing, 4) depilatories, 5) growth inhibiting creams and 6) laser surgery. Laser surgery is the most permanent method for removing hairs.

Laser Hair Removal: If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair. Not effective for blond hair.

Threading : And ask your doctor at your next annual physical if a treatable internal condition may be causing your unwanted hair.
