Medically speaking, if you had hair on your upper lip, and it stopped growing after 5 years, it was not the waxing, but something else, like discontinuing use of a drug that you were having an interaction with, or some hormonal imbalance that was corrected.

Although one might get enough scar tissue in the eyebrows or legs to cause permanent removal in those thin skinned areas, the lips doesn't work the same way.

Many people also get permanent hair removal on their legs without doing anything simply because their circulation becomes less than it once was as one ages.

Hello, I wanted to tell you that after I started noticing some hairs on my chest, I started to pluck it with a tweezer. After a while, I started to notice more and more hair growing. I, then, read on a magazine that plucking causes the blood to react resulting in more hair. I stopped plucking and have been waxing which seems to work better. I guess waxing is less shocking then plucking. I can't explain, but waxing seems to be softer than plucking. I know someday I should try electrolysis, but due to life circumstances, I have been unable to do this yet.
