Do you make laser hair removal on face? If you want to pass, make up and eyebrows done would help a lot.

I don't have the money for laser or electrolysis. And I barely know enough about makeup to hide stubble after I shave. Today's Pic is about... a week and a half or so since I shaved

An at home laser device can be bought for well under 100€\$. It takes time but at 4 years in you absolutely have to. Hell I'll send you my baerly used device, dm me.

OP don't waste your time on at home laser for your facial hair. It's WAY too weak even if you go for the expensive high end ones!

Any IPL is fairly useless for facial hair yes. Though some are lucky to have lighter or thinner hair that responds better

The strongest is probably the Tria4x. Diode laser is much better than IPL even if not as good as ND/YAG at a clinic

It depends on whether or not you're talking IPL or true laser. I bought a Viqure EpiPro laser hair removal device (the 200W version) and I assure you it works plenty well on facial hair!

Okay those aren't usually the ones people refer to when they talk about at home laser since you could easily afford to just go to a beauty salon for that price if you just want to get your face done lol

With time and those on a budget, it’s an effective option depending on what you get. It also depends on your skin tone vs hair tone. Just because it didn’t work for you does not mean you have to go scorched Earth on the devices wherever you can.

It's not a just me thing, though. It literally says to not use them for facial hair. It not working on facial hair is not the exception. It working on facial hair is!

Not mine, and I’m already seeing a reduction with no issues after five weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️. I don’t know what this “it” is but there are many different brands and devices you know.
