Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
If the hair growth is fine, you may go with threading, waxing or bleaching. The wax that is used for face is different, so always check whether your salon proffessional is using correct wax. However if the hair growth is thick, go with laser hair reduction. Shaving is not advised as friction due to shaving and also sometimes due to threading may leave pigmentation.
Hope this helped.
