Best hair removal

Hi, I have chronic migraines and am always really sensitive to smells and very sensitive skin. Has anyone discovered the best way to remove hair on upper lip. I have tried creams which made me ill and bright red skin for days, Apparently threading is supposed to be the least pain but it hurt me more than the Botox injections I have in my head for my migraines and you have to wait for the hair to grow to a certain length before next session then I am uncomfortable with it till I have it done again.. Any suggestions please. Thank you

  1. Hi Sandy S.

    Thanks for your question. I'm afraid this is not my area of expertise.

    Good luck,
    Nancy

    1. I just shave mine. Maybe that's not the kosher way to do it, but I do a lot of things differently now that I have to take migraines into account (such as scrub my toilets with shampoo since it's the one chemical that won't make me sick.) I'm big on avoiding anything that could be a trigger.

      1. Thank you for your help. I have never received a reply before after a couple of different questions I have asked.
