Take laser treatment for excess hair

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to be having excess hair over the chin area
Waxing or threading of the area is surely not a permanent solution for the problem.
You should instead opt for laser hair reduction.
Most of the dermatologists nowadays are doing laser hair treatments. It requires a few sittings and can be helpful in hair removal.
Considering that only the chin area has excessive hair growth, this procedure should not cost you too much.
So I would recommend that you can see a nearby dermatologist for the same
If you have any other query related to the same, please let me know. I will be happy to answer

Brief Answer:
Cost varies according to hair growth

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Laser hair reduction is a very commonly done procedure nowadays.
You can see any good nearly dermatologist who deals with lasers. This procedure causes very minimal redness and discomfort during the sitting but in general, there are not many side effects.
So you can safely take sittings
Basically it is a hair reduction procedure in which the patients hair growth is assessed and then multiple sittings , usually four to six , are given at four to eight weeks interval. This reduces the hair growth to the extent that once the full course of treatment is taken, repeat sittings, if required , have to taken after many years
so it is a safe procedure and is not very costly.
Some doctors charge the patient per sitting while other charge by package base.
You will have to consult your local dermatologist for proper assessment of the hair growth density and hair thickness, only then an estimate can be given
