Last time we talked about the Hypertrichosis, which I also mentioned is known as werewolf syndrome, is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth anywhere on a person’s body. It can affect both women and men. Stating the symptoms and the causes well today I’d be leading you through ways on how to deal with Hypertrichosis
Tips on how to deal with Hypertrichosis
Shaving, Waxing or plucking: According to an article by Every day Health published on the 10th of June, 2010, this is a safe and easy method, but you will have stubble if you don’t shave regularly. Also, the hair may tend to look thicker as it regrows. You can use tweezers to pluck individual hairs or try waxing to remove larger patches. These are safe and inexpensive methods, but they can be painful and there might be some skin irritation.
Depilatories: Chemical creams can remove hair from the body, but they may irritate the skin. Always test any new depilatory on your wrist one day before you intend to use it to make sure you don’t have an adverse reaction.
Electrolysis: This method burns away hair permanently using a small electrical current delivered into the hair follicle through a needle. Electrolysis tends to be expensive and takes a lot of time because only a limited amount can be done in one session.
Laser hair removal: A laser beam is used to damage the hair follicle, causing the hair to fall out. Like electrolysis, this is a time-consuming and expensive procedure. Unlike electrolysis, the hair might end up growing back.
Just so you know, Electrolysis and laser hair removal should only be performed by licensed professionals, such as a cosmetologist, aesthetician, or electrologist.
