Concerns About Upper Lip Hair Removal Treatments - #46495
I have upper lip hair on the right side of my upper lip only, and it's small in size. I've been using kasthuri manjal for the past 10 days, and now I've started using a kuppaimeni, turmeric, and water paste. Is it okay to continue? How many days will it take to remove the hair? Will it provide permanent hair removal?
How long have you been noticing hair growth on your upper lip?:
- 1-3 monthsHave you tried any other hair removal methods before this?:
- No, this is my first attemptHow would you describe your skin type?:
- Combination
Doctors' responses
Hlo,
Yes, it is okay to continue, if: You are not getting burning, itching, redness, or acne You apply it only on the hairy area, not the whole upper lip You use it 2–3 times per week, not daily 👉 Daily application is NOT advised, especially on facial skin. It can cause dryness, pigmentation, or fine hair stimulation. Best frequency: ✔️ 2–3 times/week ✔️ Wash off after 10–15 minutes ✔️ Always moisturize after
2️⃣ How does this paste actually work? These herbs DO NOT remove hair immediately like waxing or threading. They help by: Slowly weakening the hair root Slowing down regrowth Making hair thinner, lighter, and softer So results are gradual, not instant.
3️⃣ How many days will it take to see results? Realistic timeline ⏳: 2–3 weeks: Hair may look slightly softer 4–6 weeks: Hair growth may slow down 2–3 months: Hair may become thinner and less noticeable 👉 In 10 days, no visible removal is expected — that’s normal.
4️⃣ Will it give permanent hair removal? ❌ No, it will NOT give permanent hair removal. Even Ayurveda does not promise permanent facial hair removal with pastes. ✔️ What it can do: Delay regrowth Reduce thickness over time Improve skin texture 👉 If someone claims “permanent removal,” that is not scientifically or Ayurvedically correct.

If it’s not permanent, does that mean the hair will grow back visible after 4 months? Will I have to use this pack long term?
