What I have always wondered, is why pharmaceutical companies have not found either a topical or oral compound that targets the hair production on the face, chest, arms, and legs. They have found compounds that product hair on your head. I know of a lot of men that would pay a small fortune to have a safe product that would eliminate the need to shave. Something that a man/woman can take orally and not have to worry about shaving every day or multiply of times a day. Yes there are compounds that are topical that eliminate the hair on the chest, arms, and legs but are not usable on the face. Then too, you have to be careful with these compounds as they can cause chemical burns, so care must be used when using these compounds.
The human body is capable of doing this, since most GG's bodies do it. Some would say this would involve using of female hormones. What most people don't want to know is female hormones are showing up in our food, drinks, and etc. The number and frequency of Intersex babies are on the rise because of it. It used to rare that a Intersex baby was born, but now it is almost common to hear about a Intersex baby. So that argument does not hold water. I take both T-blockers and Estrogen and have noticed that when I first started taking T-Blockers only that the hair growth on my legs, chest, and arms got less and less. The T-Blockers did not do anything about the facial hair growth. I have been on both T-Blockers and Estrogen for six months and now notice that the leg, chest, and arm hair growth is about the same as for a normal GG, but this is not suitable for normal men as these drugs also produce other side effects that normal Men would not want. LOL

They are working on it. However, I imagine if they get a patent, someone big in the shaving market will try and buy the patent.

I wait with baited breath...................

In the last year or so, I have noticed that often when I get dressed up it substantially reduces (or makes disappear) my beard growth. This also corresponds to the time when I've felt most feminine and looked so in the mirror. I don't know what that is, but if you assume that taking part in characteristic "male" activies (like fighting) tends to produce testosterone, maybe there is some parallel effect when you move strongly in the opposite direction.

I'm also wondering if it might be related to the way dressing up reduces stress for me, in that often it suspends feelings that might be precursors to some sort of fighting.

Correction, JoAnn:

All females have facial hair, but while it's usually a lot finer and less noticeable than a male's facial hair, it is still there (I call it 'peach fuzz').

Some women tend to have 'mustaches' as their hair is - or gradually becomes - darker on the upper lip. This is true for most females with naturally darker head hair, as well as those of various descents, such as Italian, Greek, Native American, Indian and the like. Notice that I referenced descendancy, not nationality . . . there is a huge difference between the two.

If you have ever looked at an older woman's face, most will have longer (but softer) facial hair, and there are quite a few who will tend to get coarse hair on the face and chin. These changes are occurring as part of the natural aging process when the GG's estrogen levels decrease, and their testosterone levels increase (or become more visibly apparent).

The more chemicals that are introduced to the body will tend to have more side effects - some that are wanted, but others not so much, and it may take years for the bad side effects to fully appear - so it is best to stay away from them . . . even if they are estrogen-based (or testosterone-based, as the case may be).


Personally, I don't know why more GG's don't shave their face and chin (regardless of their adult age) . . . it takes years off the face and makes one look a lot younger.

Sometimes my wife shaves her face, usually when she can't be bothered to pluck, but can't stand the hair any more, this fine utill she cut herself the other day and had an embarrassing time explaining ~ I tried very hard to be sympathetic

I'm with SL on this. I don't want to take a drug with possible side effects if I can instead just shave my neck. As for the rest of my face, I like my beard anyway.

Sign me up! I'll be one of the first to buy it. I HATE my facial hair. I could rant for an hour on getting rid of it. I certainly hope they bring something to market soon.

Hugs,

Isn't there an FDA approved topical now? Isn't that part of what's with the No No? I think there are a couple cosmetic companies out with stuff. I did a search on FDA just to confirm at least one chemical/solution. See http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfd ... _content=1 skip through all the science and they say stuff we can all understand in it.

Vaniqa isn't a depilatory, but rather appears to retard hair growth to improve the condition and the woman’s appearance. Patients will likely need to continue using a hair removal method (e.g., having, plucking, etc.) in conjunction with it. Iinterferes with an enzyme found in the hair follicle of the skin needed for hair growth. This results in slower hair growth and improved appearance where it is applied.

Not sure how well it would work with a man's facial hair, which is coarser and likely deeper.

most prescriptions I see for this medications are not refilled. Leads me to question its effectiveness even on women.
