Unsightly Hair - The Universal Problem

Statistics show that most people have facial or body hair which detracts from their appearance.

 

Since 1875, when Charles E Michel, M.D. first developed and perfected Electrolysis for the purpose of hair remaoval, many major advances have been made.  Through the use of highly sophisticated technology and the professional skill of a licensed electrologist, Electrolysis remains the premier method of hair removal recommended by physicians and health professionals as both safe & permanent.

The Cause of Hair Growth

Superfluous hair growth is often the result of normal biologic changes which both males & females undergo throughout life.  As humans advance through puberty, pregnancies, menopause, midlife and ageing, fluctuations in hormone levels in both sexes may cause increased hair growth in areas which have never been afftected.

Excessive hair may also be due to such diverse causes as heredity, medication side effects and stress.  It is often associated with endocrine dysfunction which may cause irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian disorders, diabetes or thyriod irregularitites.  Your Electrologist is trained to recognize those symptoms which may require a referral to a physician.

What to Expect

Your first visit will include a confidential consultation, during which time your medical history will be noted.  Hair growth and the Electrolysis procedure will be thoroughly explained and your questions will be answered.  Your practitioner will always welcome further discussion or offer clarification about your treatments.
