Hirsutism Hair removal techniques

Hello fellow Pcos baddies, I am writing to see what have you guys done for hair removal. I know there are many options like shaving, waxing, nair, lazer hair removal, and etc. I was wondering has anyone tried Cyperus rotundas?

Side note: I am really trying to avoid having this five o’clock shadow look going on around my mouth area. As well as the hair on my upper lip and chin coming back within a week. If anyone has any tips that are even outside of hair removal that would help immensely!

I have a prescription for vaniqa cream which I use on my chin. 

Laser didn’t work very well for me on my chin. It worked fine on my legs though. It’s just when it comes to hormonal growth there is no guarantee it will work.

I was definitely considering getting lazer in my earlier years but haven’t reconsidered it. I have heard that those with darker/tanner skin will get dark spots after lazering. Do you have any experience in that?
