It's important to assess the cause of hair growth over those areas. Kindly consult a dermatologist in person so that complete assessment can be done and treatment based on your requirement

Laser Hair Reduction is what you are looking for. Beware of the term "Permanent" as advertised by some, it is actually Hair Reduction and not Hair Removal. Hair Reduction simply means the Laser destroys thick black hair roots and this results in finer and thinner hair.
Next Steps
Also before starting Laser Hair Reduction we need to diagnose the possible reason for Abnormal Hair growth like Hormonal changes,etc. Only if we treat this from the root cause, the results of Laser will be long lasting.
Health Tips
I would suggest you consult once so that we can check properly and discuss the best treatment plan for you. All the best. Regards Dr Jeetendra Khatuja (Mumbai)
