Have you thought about electrolysis or laser hair removal? I have heard very good things about both.

Have you shown him the hair? Have you been tested for PCOS, insulin resistance or had your iodine levels checked?

Laser only works on dark coarse hair. Electrolysis will work on any hair, any skin color.

Laser induced growth is rare. But if you hair isn't dark now, laser isn't an option for you.
