Hello, Waxing is not good for sensitive facial skin. You can use a mild depigmentation cream containing kojic acid, arbutin, niacinamide like Melaglow and use plenty of sunscreen three times a day. After two months we can reassess for further treatment. Laser hair removal is a safer and effective option. You may need 6-8 sittings and yearly maintenance. Cost may be 1-2 thousand per session.
