Since that time electrolysis has had many advancements and remains the method of choice for permanent hair removal. There are a multitude of causes for excessive hair growth. Some are the result of normal, biological changes we experience throughout life. Women experience fluctuations in hormone levels as they progress through puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Certain medications and heredity are also factors in excessive hair growth.
Men can also experience fluctuations in hormone levels and thus, unexpected hair growth.
Electrolysis is the only safe and proven method of permanent hair removal available today. Temporary methods like tweezing and waxing only compound the existing condition by stimulating more hairs to grow coarser, darker and distorted, causing ingrown hairs and possible scarring. Electrolysis has proven itself time and time again for over 125 years.
