AT Home with Christian Jessen - March 2011 - (Page 230) | slug | at least 25% of middle-aged women have unwanted facial hair but most are reluctant to discuss it, or even admit they have this problem, despite it being very common. it is usually down to hormonal changes, which can lead to increased hair on the upper lip, chin and sides of the face. These unwanted hairs can be quite dark and coarse too, which makes them more noticeable. There are several ways of removing hair, though – from the short-term solution to more drastic long-term measures – so don’t despair. Just take action! Treat it Depilatory creams work by dissolving hair at the follicle, but most are better suited to hair on the body and the results last only two to three weeks. laser hair removal causes selective destruction of hair follicles and can achieve long-term hair reduction after several treatment sessions. The treatment must be performed by an experienced doctor, nurse or licensed beautician. after three treatments, six weeks apart, there will be about a 50% reduction in hair but you will need to have follow-up treatments. it works best for people with fair skin and dark hair, and is not recommended at all for people with white hair. Costs are generally from £45 per session. 230 | march 2012 words: Charlotte Maugham and Patricia Pett | PhotograPhs: getty Images 5 1 Besides crow’s feet and frown lines, there’s a host of pointers that can give away your age – but thankfully you can make them all disappear… signs of ageing Waxing is good for removing hair on the upper lip and sides of the face but not for chin hair. Hot wax is applied to the skin, and a strip of cloth or paper is pressed on the area. The strip is then quickly pulled away, taking hairs with it. it can irritate the skin and leave red, raised bumps. You will need to repeat treatment every two to six weeks.
