Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Hi, when i had all that hair growing on my face and stuff, i was told to you surgi cream. It is at the drug store, it will remove the hair and feels so smooth. also i have been wearing a copper braclet now for over a month and it has done wonders for the joint and bone pains, plus i take celebrex. before celebrex just did not seem to work as good. I ve also found out that stress does bring those pains on stronger. Bobbie (AIH) [ ] Facial hair > Trisha, > Be careful about the hair removal products.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Dear Fellow Women with Facial Hair, I have been plagued with this problem for many years. My tweezers and magnifying mirror have been in use daily. Last fall, I got the prescription cream Vaniqua, and I can testify that it really helps slow the growth of unwanted vacial hair. I bought a 3 month supply for $110.00 from drugstore.com. I bought it in September, and I have only gone through about half of it. So, at that rate, I would say it costs about $15-$20 bucks a month. I find myself plucking once or twice a week to maintain a smooth face. I don't feel self conscious about that aspect of my appearance anymore. I sound like a commercial, don't I? Hope this info helps someone. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm new to all this Hypogonadism info. I'm 35, have very little facial hair, a bit of fat around the mid-section, and relatively low muscle mass. I just had my t level checked and it was just under 250. My question is, with TRT is it still possible to acheive normal facial hair growth at 35 years old, or have I already missed that boat.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Avejoe: I started everything at age 29. What a change. Going thru the changes at that age. I've been on testosterone shots since 1981. I wish doctors knew what was wrong when I first asked at age 12. Age 35....you are never too late. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 When my T levels were very low like yours my face hair was very fine when I went on TRT now I need to shave 2 times a day. Have you read the AACE Guildlines we have it in the links section read it. Phil avgjoe2112 <no_reply > wrote: I'm new to all this Hypogonadism info.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 AvgJoe, I already had significant facial hair and body hair before starting on TRT. After starting TRT my facial hair stayed about the same, but my body hair increased even more. However, my low T (levels in the 100s) was acquired starting at age 19 by disease. Do you think you've had low T all your life? Mark > I'm new to all this Hypogonadism info.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 > AvgJoe, > I'm pretty sure I've had low T all my life. I was never tested when I was younger, but I never did have any kind of growth spurt either. After reading the AACE guidelines on the links section,I seem to have many symptoms of Klinefelter's syndrome. > I already had significant facial hair and body hair before starting on > TRT.
