I a young adult female with extreme hair growth. I have black, thick, coarse hair in my entire armpit, my bikini line, above my bikini line, my butt, my stomach even in my butt, and it’s starting on the back of my legs! Ugh! Anyways I get terrible ingrowns and bumps from shaving and waxing. The hairs are far to thick to bleach. It never works on them. Anyways I will include some photos but do any of you think I will ever have clear skin again? (I do have one big stretch mark down the middle so ignore that) How long do you think it will take to remove the hair in all these places. The hair pictured resembles the hair in all these spots. Does anyone else have hair growth like this? Or in any area? I have been shaving these areas since I can remember. Ugh. Any advice?
I didn’t add in the butt. For the sake of everyones eyes! But anyways its pretty bad and I feel completely gross!
You have not offended my eyes, because I do work like this all the time.
If you get started on these areas, you can, indeed get them smooth and clear.

The dark skinned lady used to have a full face full of curly, coarse ingrown hairs, complete with dark spots and angry raised bumps. While she did not want a before picture used in this video, she did consent to show the difference between the area we had under control, and the area we had not yet fully mastered.
Thank you for replying. After I am done with electrolysis I should then start to see skin clearance of scars and such? I’m hoping to have hair free skin in these areas with electrolysis. It would be amazing.
Won’t laser be suitable as some types of lasers can handle darker skin? This would reduce the number of hairs after a course of treatments making follow up electrolysis much easier and reduce ingrowing hairs. You are not gross.
I should add here, you MUST see a doctor to rule out issues such as hormonal imbalance, PCOS, etc that might be causing excessive hair growth. Otherwise, new hairs will continue to appear in new areas.
Yes. I don’t think it’s anything wrong with me. I think it’s just a hereditary thing. I talked to my doctor and she said not to worry and just save up for hair removal. I don’t want to do laser as I’m sure the hair will come back. I want something permenant so I don’t have to deal with this amount of hair again.
Stick to ELECTROLYSIS the one and only trusted method! I dont think you have a hormonal problem, your hair is typical of what i see at my office, i treat a lot of indian/asian and black skins/hairs. You will get fantastic results if you stick to what your electrologist tells you! Good luck and keep us updated
Hi! Yes, electrolysis will help to remove the hair, but I have tips to remove the scars/bumps, as I had the sameee exact issue in the beginning of the year and it has now cleared up.
You’ll need:
Tea tree oil
Tend Skin
an exfoliator (I used a korean italy bath towel, I got it off ebay)
If you cannot get the exfoliator, at least get Tend Skin. That stuff saved my skin.
At nights, I used to take a quick shower and exfoliate my skin with the towel, especially the problem areas. After I shower, I would first apply Tend Skin with a cotton ball. Then, I’d wait for about 5 minutes and then apply the tea tree oil. In the morning, I’d apply the Tend Skin once again. The areas cleared up within a month.
I still get ingrown hairs/bumps every now and then, but I just rely on the tend skin. But you’ll keep getting ingrown hairs for as long as you have hair in that area, which electrolysis can solve.
and please take what M.K says about ‘tend skin’ with a grain of salt. The only real way to disrupt scars is below the epidermis either with laser or derma-rolling <- (so i’ve heard).
I’m a bit taken aback by the ‘gross’ and the ‘yucky’ titles…because I’ve done that to myself too now that I think about it…you’ve reminded me that I should be nice to myself…
