The shadow is caused by darker hair just under the skin. I recommend switching to epilation in that area: plucking (if it's not a lot) or waxing (to save time).
If you want a permanent option, electrolysis can be great on a small area (if the practitioner is recommended by someone done and happy). If the hair is dark and the skin light, some have found laser a good option for reducing the size and darkness of hairs, sometimes permanently.
