Waxing might help. When the hair gets pulled out, it has to regrow. As it comes through the surface of the skin it is finer and less noticeable, as it is a tapered end, unlike shaving where you are taking the hair off at the fullest part of its shaft. However, it might take a few sessions to get the hair growth to slow down, as there are always new hairs coming out of the dormant phase. I would say after 3-4 sessions you will notice considerable slowing in hair growth, and more time will pass between sessions.

Good luck to you, and hang in there!
