@Saram Take care with the waxing - depending on what type they use, it can encourage regrowth. I'm a bit of an expert in this area as it's hereditary in my family and has been an ongoing battle since my teens. I've had every treatment possible - from electrolysis back in the eighties, and everything going since. I've always carried tweezers and a tiny magnifying mirror in my handbag. Have lost count of how many I've had confiscated at airports. And there's a set near my TV chair. The greatest joy of chemo was that my facial hair was the first thing to go, within two weeks. Threading is OK but the best professional treatment to have is sugaring (Cleopatra used to have it). It grows back more slowly and softer. If you have a degree of dexterity, there's a product called SURGI WAX available online - which you microwave in the pot it comes in, and use on small areas. It's much gentler than the professional waxes. I'm lousy at doing it myself, so always get my daughter to do it whenever one of us visits the other. In between, I have to rely on tweezers. The day before surgery, I've always had sugaring. It's a curse. >:)
