I Am A Woman With A Hairy Upper Lip And I Want You To Learn From My Mistakes

By Hanna Nicole


Every young girls remembers the horrors of middle school...the awkwardness, the boys, and worst of all puberty! And what girl can forget the revulsion of waking up one morning to find hair in places you never expected. The embarrassment of changing in the locker room in front of your peers and the constant pain from cutting yourself in the shower with the cheap pink disposable razors from the grocery store. For those of us with dark hair, the scariest moment during this ever changing time was the realization that you were growing upper lip hair. What is more humiliating than trying to cover upper lip hair, hoping the boy you were dating wouldn't notice as he leaned in to kiss you!

Like any other self-conscious teenager I scoured the drug store shelves for products promising instant hair removal or bleaching. I even suffered through a part time job in order to pay for costly waxing treatments that left my lip red and often not completely hair free. My mother watched me suffer, always assuring me that hundreds of other girls were going through the same things, but my complaining and experimenting ended graduation day when my parents surprised me with the gift of laser hair removal. Finally, my torment over hair growth would come to an end, and just in time for college.

I immediately booked my appointment, wanting this problem gone before I packed for college. No one bothered to warn me the excruciating pain, redness and swelling that came with the treatments. The fifteen minutes spent under the laser were the longest of my life. Did beauty really come with such a high price? But, I sucked it up and was diligent in attending my treatments all summer, even if it meant canceling my weekend plans to wait for the swelling and redness to subside. The worst part of the treatment, was that after three months of college I woke to find the hair above my lip returning. My parents had wasted their money, and I had wasted my time on a treatment that was bogus...and off to the drugstore I went to buy creams and razors to combat the problem.

My college major lead me to many places, but eventually lead me to the land of eternal summer, Florida. I enjoyed spending my weekends working on my tan, but dreaded having to wake up early every morning in order to ensure my body was hair free. I quickly realized how expensive razors, shaving cream and lotion was becoming, and I knew there had to be alternatives.

During my morning commute and advertisement for Body Details laser hair removal Aventura aired. Extremely skeptical, based on past treatment experiences, but extremely desperate to minimize my daily beauty regime, I called the number and booked a free consultation. The staff at Body Details immediately struck me as knowledgeable and professional. I was educated on the different types of lasers used for hair removal, and quickly learned that my first treatment had been performed with an IPL laser, which most often leaves patients with burns and skin irritation without ever fully killing the hair follicle. Not completely sold, but intrigued by their true laser technology, I decided to try their product on the dreaded upper lip area.

I braced myself for another excruciating treatment and weekend of recuperation, secretly wondering if it was even worth a second try. My five minute treatment with Body Details true laser was amazing. The staff made me comfortable and the treatment was virtually pain free. The minimal swelling that occurred had subsided by dinnertime and there were no residual effects of treatment. Following the treatment my upper lip remained hair free for weeks, leaving me so impressed that I was eager to continue my treatments and add treatments for the remainder of my body.

Now my mornings are pain free and the extra thirty minutes of sleep has done wonders for my daily productivity. My wallet thanks me each day that I don't have to buy overpriced razor, shave gels and hair removal creams. Just the simple act of waking on a Saturday morning and venturing to the beach, knowing my body is hair free and beautiful, makes me walk with a little more confidence!
