Hi,
I understand your concern.
When mechanical management is not effective in managing facial hairs- it can be taken care of by oral drugs.Before you go for this therapy a detailed estimation of various endocrine hormones needs to be done- with this the causative factor can be pin pointed , to be followed by spcific medication.
The medicines take a lo9ng time (as long as 6 months,to show the results).
You should consult an Endocrinologist for an expert advise .
You will be relieved, please don't worry.
Thanks.
