I've been struggling with thin cheeks and it's been making me look tired and too lean even though I'm quite fit. This has been an issue for about three years now. I've tried maintaining a good diet with milk, fruits, and nuts, but it hasn't really helped. I'm really looking for advice on how to get fuller, chubby cheeks. Any suggestions?

I'm curious about getting rid of some facial hair and I'm not really keen on laser treatments. Ive heard about electrolysis but Im not sure if its available in Mumbai. Could you tell me more about it and if it's effective?

Yes, there are clinics in Mumbai that offer electrolysis treatment for unwanted hair removal on the face. One common brand of electrolysis machine used is Apilus. The typical dosage and frequency of electrolysis sessions can vary depending on the individual's hair growth and skin type, but generally, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.
