San Francisco Hair Removal

What is Hair Removal?

Many men and women choose to remove unwanted body hair for cosmetic, social, cultural, or medical reasons. Medical indications for hair removal include hirsutism, which is excess terminal hair in the distribution of hair growth influenced by androgens (ie, face, chest, back, abdomen), or hypertrichosis, which is congenital or drug-induced increase in hair growth in areas that are not androgen dependent. Other medical indications include pseudofolliculitis, hair growth from a grafted donor site, and sex-change operations performed in men.

Many methods are available for temporary or permanent hair removal, each with its own relative efficacy and adverse effects. Different methods for the removal of body hair include the following:

• Temporary hair removal - Shaving, epilation, depilation, bleaching
• Temporary hair reduction - Eflornithine hydrochloride (VANIQA cream 13.9%), laser-assisted hair removal
• Permanent hair removal - Electrolysis
