Should I shave?
NO. By no means should you ever shave your face. Shaving would even worsen the condition. It would create blunt edges on your hair making them grow coarser and more like a stubble.

Permanent options
If you are looking for a more permanent option then you should go for laser hair removal. Laser procedures take several sessions depending on the hair growth and are pretty costly. But the results are permanent and satisfactory. Although before undergoing any such procedure you must check the credentials of the doctor or the technician who will perform the procedure.
