Lazer skin treatment

I'm a 45yr. old female with Lupus and Fibromyalgia.  I also have had a total hysterectomy in 1991. I take premarin for hormone replacement.  Over the last 5 years or so I have noticed that the "peach fuzz" on my face, (blonde) was getting a little thicker.  My hair was really short and my hairstylist at the time took clippers and shaved around the sides of my jawline near my ear lobe.  I freaked out of course.  He said it would not make it grow in faster.  Well it has and now my blonde hair has turned a little darker and I really feel self-conscience about it.  I can put makeup on it and cover it with my hair.  But under my cheekbones the light peach fuzz is getting thicker.  I mean I don't look like a dude or anything!  But I was wondering what should I do about this? It is something that really bothers me.  I'm afraid about lazer treatment only because of the shows on TV with women who has had it done and wish they didn't.  Horrible marks all over the face etc.  My face is very, very sensitive.  I don't have acne, and I actually get compliments on how good it looks.  Probably because I can't be in the sun. The lady who waxes my brows said it wouldn't be a good idea to wax just a portion of my face.  I don't want to wax my whole face!!  Please help me!!!! UGH  If you know a name of a great dermatologist in Atlanta/Metro/SandySprings or Marietta area I would really appreciate it!!!

I'm doing NAET and seeing great results for FMS.Although, I am still noticing severe ups and downs. I'm curious, have you modified your diet and if so, what DON'T you eat? Any input is much appreciated.

Hey, about the hair problem, you may go to an experienced electrolycist. I had electrolysis for fourteen years without a problem and with much success. Try to find one with many years of experience who is preferrably recommended by a plastic surgery clinic and who has graduated from a reputable electrology school.

About the Fibromyalgia: I once suffered from acute ulcerative colitis which is also an autoimmune disorder. I went to a naturopath who does NAET treatments who showed me the data, written by a woman with Fibromyalgia, documenting her recovery with NAET treatments. I thought it was weird, until I tried it and three months later I was symptom free. Since then I go for a Naet treatment every year and a half or so. That is,  every time I notice what I now recognize to be signs of a reaction to a sensitivity such as tiredness or a dizzyness or brain fog, or stuffy nose... I go and get tested and treated before the sensitivity developes into an ulcerative colitis attack. I have since been attack free for four years, relapsing only on one occasion when I couldn't get to the naturopath in time.
and my blood tests from the hospital show excellent health.
