Understanding Hormonal Hair Growth

Hormonal imbalances — particularly elevated androgens — can stimulate hair follicles to produce thick, dark hair in areas like the face, chest, abdomen, and back. This is called hirsutism, and it affects millions of people worldwide.

While medical treatments (like birth control pills, anti-androgens, or metformin) can help manage the underlying hormonal condition and slow new hair growth, they cannot remove hair that already exists. That's where electrolysis comes in.

Electrolysis permanently destroys the treated hair follicle, regardless of what caused it to grow. Combined with your medical treatment, it delivers the best possible outcome: hormones managed medically, existing hair removed permanently.

Conditions We Specialize In

We have extensive experience treating hair growth related to the following conditions.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS affects up to 10% of women and often causes excess facial and body hair (hirsutism). While medication can slow new growth, electrolysis permanently removes existing hair.

Menopause & Perimenopause

Declining estrogen levels during menopause can trigger new hair growth on the face and chin. Electrolysis provides a permanent solution as your body changes.

Thyroid Disorders

Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can affect hair growth patterns. We work alongside your medical treatment to address unwanted hair.

Medication Side Effects

Certain medications — including steroids, hormone therapy, and some blood pressure drugs — can cause unwanted hair growth. Electrolysis treats the symptom permanently.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

This genetic condition can cause excess androgen production, leading to unwanted hair. Electrolysis is a safe, effective treatment option.

Insulin Resistance

Often linked with PCOS, insulin resistance can contribute to increased androgen levels and unwanted hair growth.

An Important Note

Electrolysis works best as a complement to medical treatment — not a replacement. If you haven't been diagnosed, we encourage you to speak with your doctor. We're here to remove the hair; your medical team is here to address the root cause.
