The reason for increased hair on the face at menopause is hormonal and familial. The variation in levels of oestrogen and testosterone at this time can increase facial hair production. How great an increase you experience will depend to some extent on how this runs in your family.
That depends on how much of a problem it is. A small problem can be dealt with by bleaching. Pulling out the hairs is effective if you only have odd ones that worry you. Waxing is successful if the hair growth is too heavy for tweezers. This does not encourage more hairs to grow, in fact the hair will tend to recur less. I would like to stress this, as many believe this ‘old wives’ tale’ i that shaving increases hair growth. Waxing will need to be done periodically. Shaving for heavy growth also does not encourage further growth, but as hair regrows it feels bristly. Some women choose to use chemical products which dissolve the hair close to the skin in preference to shaving, but they have much the same effect. Electrolysis is of two types- the old method where an electric current is passed into the hair root, and the more modern method where the current passes down to the root by means of the hair held by the tweezers. Both are expensive, and although this root will lose its function, others around it, which have not been reached, may not. Oestrogens will help to balance the male hormone production and therefore will assist you in this regard.
