Answer
Electrolysis would definitely be worth your while for this area.
How much and how long questions can only be answered by getting several consults. Someone has to actually see your upper lip. How much hair do you have? How thick or deep is the hair? How did you treat the hair in the past to disguise it? There are many variables involved. No two people with a hair problem are the exactly the same.
Generally speaking, most of my upper lip clients are cleared in 6-10 treatments, meaning 20-30 minutes once a week for 6-10 weeks. Thereafter, I may see them for some scattered clean ups for the remaining time. Most are done and happy somewhere in a 9-12 month time frame. Generally speaking, they spend between $400 - $600 to get permanent hair removal on the upper lip area.

Answer
ive never treated my lip at all. im too scared..in fear of it growing back thicker.
i've never shaved anything else aside from my under arms. my legs...i dont know my mom never let me shave them..and its not liek anyone can tell that i dont shave..which is neat.
